Post "Status Update (Chapter 124)" by "Tefler "

I may have found an error: “He found himself holding his breath, so he exhaled and focused and keeping his breathing normal.“. Should it be “He found himself holding his breath, so he exhaled and focused on keeping his breathing normal.”

Hi Tefler,

MrrC

yep it is

Jedi Khan

Yes

Is this the same author of three square meals?

Jedi Khan

There are a number of story lines that Tefler is working on tying up before the end of the story, but there are others that he plans to leave open for the sequel.

I'm wondering when all of the little unfinished story-lines will be tied up. For instance the Twins developing telepathy in chapter 88 and unless I've missed it not really mentioned or developed since then. There are others I'm sure that a re-reading of the story will show.

Timothy Lucas

No search results for that name on lit???

Deryck Stevenson

Thank you for the heads up

Cignal

Tefler mentioned on Discord that 125 will be about 2 weeks yet.

Deryck Stevenson

Yeah 5000 USD would be inventive enough for me too

John Jameson

Highly likely he will, according to past evidence: he may not release the chapter until 2-3am Tefler time (which is 9-10pm EDT). If he doesn't make it, he delays getting 5000 dollars by one month, which is quite a strong incentive, in addition to reader expectation. He also normally makes a comment by this time if he does not expect to post a chapter.

Chicken

I think technically patreon goes by US pacific time. If that is the case he still has 8 hours. 🤞

Deryck Stevenson

I don't think tefler is going to make his July deadline for even one chapter never mind the two he was hoping to be able to do. We just have to keep waiting. Boo boo

Yeah Vol 2 is first journeys

TravelinTheRiver

Check out whitesabbretooth on lit or wattpad

Matt

Ah so it is. I'll keep an eye on her page and see if she gets all her stories ordered properly. ATM considering trying to navigate that makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason. I mean it's easy to put things in order and it's so much neater to do so, the fact she doesn't... bothers me. Don't know why.

Wozza

Vol 2 is on page two, i'm about to start reading too

Matt

Ok So Eric Olafson Neo is Vol 1, but then it skips straight to Vol 3 (Fleet Cadet), no Vol 2. So I don't really feel comfortable starting if I'm going to miss chunks you know?

Dave2282

Matt - Start with Eric Olafson ( EO) Neo-Viking , EO- the first Journey, then EO- fleet cadet, and so on. think the of GC books just populate the GC universe and aren’t directly related to the EO series. Sort of like how Tefler’s Truckstop Takedown populates 3SM universe

Nick White

Who cares when he publishes as long as he does , dont rush tefler he always is worth the wait

Matt

Kid Wigger - Flight of the Code Monkey is Fun, Also Mad Wolf - Demigod of War

MrrC

am guessing we'll get the usual last minute - just in time to make monthly numbers submission

Matt

I can't figure her books out. Found her on Storiesonline the other evening and in her blog she says what order the books come in. I couldn't find the 1st one listed anywhere, completely mystified about where to start and how to continue from there. So I gave up.

commatoes

Great story but starting fresh is aserious time commitment.

Dave2282

Vanessa Ravencroft Eric Olafson series is tremendous. She’s currently releasing chapters in book 9 Erica Olafson Journey of the Tigershark. The tale is in the same league of 3SM as Eric slowly becomes the dark one who will determine whether or not to destroy all reality.

I have found ice cold beer to be a reasonable coping method for extreme heat for short periods. Though, I have found that productivity goes down.

Stephan Gosswiller

Maybe if PornHub had their own subscription service.....

Mapper

Right on. Note that sometimes (Chapt 100 for example) a double chapter is released. All chapters are so good, it is not rfair to assume two can be written each month.

Jammus1

I absolutely love this story. I am as invested and addicted to this story more than anything else I have ever read. I realize he’s been writing for several years now, but still I can’t believe this is his first story. I think this would make one hell of an animated web series on some kind of subscription service.

Sirloki

Yep, Maybe we should do a GoFundMe for a portable AC? Rather than complaining about his not posting we may want to consider helping him out! :D

Florida Reader

Tefler is one of the most prolific writers I have encountered, producing a high-quality, cohesive, and engaging story. Consider how long fans have waited between George R. R. Martin novels, and how long we have been waiting for his next one. Tefler delivers on a radically accelerated time schedule, with fantastic story and character development. I for one have nothing to complain about, and I will enjoy the next chapter whenever it drops. Keep up the good work, Tefler, and ignore the whining.

As a fan of Fantasy/SciFy/Non-Human stories I have encountered many great writers here in SOL and in Lit. Many of those writers after a while just stop writing in the middle of the story because they burn out, others find themselves trying to meet a posting schedule and as the story develops and gets more complicated their chapters become smaller and smaller or they start loosing detail and quality. Tefler has written a story that is 123 Chapters long with an average of 20k words per chapter on a pretty consistent schedule of 15 to 20 days per chapter. The few times that there has been a delay he has been either sick, dealing with family issues or going on vacation with his kids. So lets remember that our $1, $2 or $5 patronage is not a salary, he doesn't work for us and he is not required to stop his life in order to meet a schedule. I rather wait to get a chapter of Tefler's quality when he is inspired and can concentrate on the story than to get a cookie cutter chapter because he needs to meet a schedule.

Sirloki

Why if you only pay for chapters that come out?

TranceR

I cancelled my Patronige for a couple months due to iffy chapter scheduling and when I came back I got one chapter. If he said one chapter by so and so date, I'd be happy. Saying a date and uploading a week later is very annoying. Might as well wait on SOL or till he's done with books

there's still 8 hours and 5 minutes for two chapters to drop.....

Deryck Stevenson

I do not think he will get the two chapters out in July that he wanted to. Maybe now got normal weather in UK (RAIN, THUNDERSTORMS AND CLOUDY) he will get the two out in August. Still great series love the work great imagination. Cheers all.

Skycrane

"DO U HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT Mr MillDrew???!!!!"... lol

Big Dude

You will not see anything until 12 Midnight east coast time. Guaranteed! So quit your whining and deal with it.

Wozza

slow roasted I believe!

Did England sink into the ocean?

Hmm, no chapter yet? oh well, i'll settle for a spoon full of ice cream. <10 minutes later> " Its not my fault Mr. half pint of ice cream, I didn't mean to gobble you up, but daddy needs his chapter!

"sigh" ….. Skycrane …..your witty puns are your "downfall"

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow.

Skycrane

If they were the cleaning robots did Fay program to" sweep the leg" of your enemy?

Maybe the Boys will latch onto the Progenitors ship at a key battle and totally surprise every one!!

Hope is that he takes the time to enjoy the summer and come up with all kinds of twists for us.

I just hope he takes the time to enjoy the summer while it is upon us and if that means a month without a new chapter, I’d gladly contribute as though he had. It’s an amazing thing he’s done, moved into writing as an income. That comes at a cost and my

Tefler has done an amazing job with this series.

Timothy Lucas

Oh chapter 124 were are you?

Speaking of which, any word on book 5?

Oh what to do.. what to do while I wait for the next chapter? Oh I know, read the four ebooks! $16 well spent!

just use the cast from spaceballs, names done :)

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Well, you know what the issue is, right? Tefler is having to put in all those tertiary character names and it is bogging down his writing.

TF4EVA

I wonder if the next chapters of Dawnfall: An Unclaimed Legacy Story is being written. Will what John and his Pride are doing or about to do rippling to impact in other parts of the universe including that of this dark alternate space.

TF4EVA

In some ways it is not so much Tefler but his team. He has stated he has completed the first part of the chapter (as he has done previously) and his team are reviewing it. When they have done so and Tef has made any amendments then it is ready for posting. Completing the chapter is something else again.

MaydaysSin

But that's a never ending circle! You find new stories. Have an awesome read for a few days.you wait for new chapters/books. You get bored. You search for a new awesome Autor. It's hell! I am waiting on 2 Autors on patreon, 7 webtoons and little more then a dozen stories on Amazon.

If anyone's bored, trying checking out stories by other authors. It's what I do while waiting for new chapters to drop. Some folks have really good tales to tell.

Was just trying to get a feeling for his normal time line as compared to mine. Especially since there's a nine hour difference.

Muledrvr

He still has a day and a half to make the end of the month.

That works when the Dow point is in the 70s. Heat indexes well above 100f are not only extremely uncomfortable but can be dangetous.

Question - the time posted for Tefler's updates etc. is that his time or mine?

TF4EVA

But then it was discussed in the story way back sort of - the air filtration system Dana acquired and adapted when visiting the Maliri outpost.

Who Me

Why are we discussing AC's instead of this WONDERFUL story? Bored Ladies?

Damian Wright

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del for new chapter

Damian Wright

Oh really.

The UK has the same latitude as Canada. We get more or less the same weather all year round. Winter is mild and wet, and might freeze one year out of four. Spring is mild and wet, it rains at night and is warm all day. Summer is mild and slightly wet. Autumn is cooler and wetter. It's only been the last 10 years when climate change is really started to bite. We build our homes to be water tight, to keep out the wind, and to retain as much heat as possible.... and for five of the last six years, we've had the coldest, hottest, wettest, driest month/season on record, each month and season... So no. Basically no one has a/c, and basically no houses are set up to take HVAC, because we all have thick insulated walls, and barely adequate central heating, with copper pipes in the walls, wall haunted radiators and double glazing. This country isn't designed for this level of heat

I am in southern Spain temp here at moment 32°c 90°f air con not needed? Open doors & Windows let air pass through!

Carmina.burana123

Yep this us happening there's a discussion about AC's.

rich ed

It still is a luxury in most of the world PLRus

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Air Conditioning is actually as new an invention as automobiles or planes. 1902 for the first AC, 1903 for the first airplane, and 1885 for the first car. Cars and planes caught on faster, mostly due to transportation needs and wars that made them move from luxury items to necessities. AC's remained a luxury for almost 55 years after its invention.

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Actually, requirements of AC in homes is mostly within the industrialized countries with more tropical climates above and below the equator. MOST northern States in the US, for instance, do not have AC as they don't need it except for maybe a week or two a year. For example, parts of Minnesota today had a high of 72 in the middle of summer. You cannot justify central air for that. And frankly, as cheap as they are making window units, the condensation does loads of damage to your home due to faulty manufacturing techniques.

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

and just for the record... in europe ACs in public spaces yes. every were. in private houses... not so mutch... central heting units for realy cold places for winter. But then again i may be wrong

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

if i had to guess... i would say 50% electricity and less than 40 for plumbing....

Sam

Mud huts in Africa probably don't have them but other than that, I just assumed most places did. It's almost ubiquitous in the US. I know it's a narrow point of view but honestly, it's not something you'd really think about all that often is it? How many houses in the world have electricity? How many have indoor plumbing?

lots of places in the US don't have AC

Godzilla511

Damn. Maybe we should put together a GoFundMe to get Tef an AC unit. I guess it's just a USA thing to assume that homes have AC

Kensyi

I want to down vote this, cuz that would be horrible.

303 comments, and most of them from Rus shitstiring... :P

Evan

Joe, Tefler did indicate that he would attempt this, but then later indicated that the unbearable heat in his area had prevented him from being able to properly write and that the chapter releases would be delayed.

Sooo tired of hearing “Eye of the Tiger “

Joe Waldvogel

Were we not told there would be 2 chapters coming out by the end of the month?

I‘m sure Tef will get the chapter done in the next 46 hours. There is no reason the push him, we will get it soon enough ;)

Sparky's Wife!!!

I'm just getting done with the whole story starting from the beginning. So yes I'm hopeful!! but I know how to wait and not push Tef, as I want him to have the time to make it the way he wants it!!

Sparky's Wife!!!

Wait why waste time putting on pants?

PwdRacing

Maybe that is linked to his F5. ;-)

I don't say it nearly as much as people ask the obvious question of if the chapter is up yet....like they are not capable of refreshing the page or anything....lol

Nope, not for me! LOL

Yeah, but what year? At least he's still two years 11 months ahead of George R R ...

What if I go to the site 10 times but I am constantly logged in, therefore making it so I am not constantly having to log in. Do I still have a problem?

Kensyi

That is actually what I think is going to happen, Jessica is going to get His father to go back. They come back patch things up and then hit the fish

Kensyi

Newnotsure

Tefler when you get it done it is done just waiting here breathless lol

Mapper

I find it amazing that we see chapter by chapter with so little rewrites. My very limited amount of published fiction had me going back again and again to the early sections to fix problems I created for later. Cudos and hat off to Tef, his editors and a great story board. Love your work team.

Mapper

Oh, and readers should remember that Tef does not possess the powers of John Blake. No psychic and enhanced researchers, assistants, computer geniuses to power his writing. No Faye or Little One. No psychic communication among his helpers. Were Tef to have the powers of John Blake he could dictate to a supercomputer that would translate his outline into chapters in a minute or so, send it around psychically to the whole crew of editors for another two minutes, translate it to Maliri, Kintark, Vulkat, Brimorian, and Trankarian within few minutes, and transmit it to all of women linked to his three matriarchs in another minute or two. It would probably take Irrilith a minute to two to set up a billing and accounting system to process billions of orders Sorry folks, Tef has to do it the old fashioned way.

Mapper

I really dislike it when people do the nudging and commenting and complaining and even demanding to Tefler about his writing schedule. Almost every chapter of this book gets more complex because Tefler is putting together or updating all of the strings in the story and doing it in a such a smooth way that you can miss how difficult it must be to tell a story fully (or simultaneously 100 of them). My favorite chapter is 100 because of its complexity and completeness (and he even took the time a new crew member before decimating the Kintark). Since then most of his chapters are getting more and more complex as he ties more substories and themes. Obviously, each takes more time but the development of the book is just about perfect. Heck, could you dominate two Progenitors and repair the Invictus in a week (writing time)? Let Tef take his time. It is always worth the wait.

F5! F5! F5! dammit is thing working????

When a great white shark is having an identity crisis as a battering ram what do you do?

bigdawguw65

accurate picture , Invictus a Great White Shark stalking the little fishies

It shouldn't even scratch the CA armor. It might tweak the frame and an antenna/gun emplacement or several but it would be pretty spectacular. :)

bigdawguw65

imagine the Invictus with its new up graded Alyssium skin & solid shield & superior speed , dashing through the Brimorian fleet "spearing" one ship after another

Ken Moreau

If your worst problem today is that Tefler didn't post another chapter, it is a good day. Tefler, take your time, keep delivering on the level of quality that you have done for >100 chapters, and we will all be delighted (eventually)... :^)

GrandPaM

F5?

Was just told if you log into any one site more than 10 times a day you might have a problem. I guess that makes me a confirmed addict checking this page for updates the past few days. That tells me how good this story really is. Waiting for and getting a chapter is like Christmas morning all over again every few weeks.

It would be fishy. Unless part of the garbled message was, "Ramming speed!" the battle was over and there was no distress call at all before Admiral Kester filleted the Brimorians.

(static)...nineteen periods out of Altair Six. We have struck a gravitic mine and have lost all power. (broken)...Our hull is penetrated and we have sustained many casualties.

Oh, oh, or when they finally fix the Invictus and they're on their way out of Kirrix space they receive a garbled distress call from the battle with the Brimorians, and Dana says "Hey guys we should probably check it out, something seems fishy with that message!"

No-Chapter Day -- Pens rea. Back to reading The Count of Monte Christo.

I have been finding reading the fan comment rather entertaining at this rate we will soon have a fan inspired chapter posted, though editing would be a nightmare. “ Do you have any grey poupon?” John’s father asked hope to patch things up with his boy. John would be “Yes yes I do have grey poupon but you need to lend me your ride if you want it. I need to go to a big fish fry.”

Alphaonetango

There better be a can of “Space Budweiser” in that scene.

John is in the middle of a critical battle, he's surrounded by Thralls, has a busted ankle, lost his sword and is fighting hand to hand against the remaining battalion and has just lost his sword, ....... in his haste and as desperate call for help he sends a hurried message to Alyssa … *ALLYSA* …. he gets an immediate reply of concern.... *Waaazzzuppp!!!*

Or next time someone cuts his ship in half, he can run to the bow and yell, 'I'm the King of the World!'

Matt

I predict Jon and girls end up watching Highlander on movie night and then everytime he faces a Progenitor he yells 'There can only be one' before lopping their heads off with that fancy sword. :)

Stuhero

At least when Tefler posts around midnight there it is only 1:00 pm here :)

I had forgot about the hoverbikes, but that would be really cool to see the Lionesses on them. Maybe zipping around the battlefield trolling for fish. Have a fishing line hanging off the back with 20 – 30 hooks big enough to punch their bodies.

ChrisW

Will they ever use those hoverbikes Dana pimped up?

William Wallace

I agree with Stuhero, I wil keep on supporting you via Patreon, but wil be waiting till they appear on SOL. There I know the chapter is completely finished

TF4EVA

Appreciate the updates but really my main focus are the chapters. Given the books and chapters from other writers that I wait for seem to take months or years TSM/Tefler turn around is impressive. Heck some stories/writers I have stopped following because they have not produced. Good thing about patreon if people don't like the wait they can leave and wait somewhere else

Stuhero

Personally I would prefer to have no projected posting dates, It just causes stress when it does not happen. Better for me to just get updates so I know Tefler is still alive and still writing :) I have become cynical so do not pretend to speak for me.

Vincent

Tbf he gave an update, writing a chapter isnt exactly like cooking a recipe, you cant give exact estimates beyond +-1 week, atleast if the quality is supposed to be high

I'd just like updates as details unfold. Not to be told unrealistic projections that don't materialize on a regular bases. It creates cynicism.

Steve

http://imgur.com/a/BzV0BVK

Big Dude

Personally if Tefler posts 124 by the 31st, Chapter 125 by August 10th and Chapter 126 by August 31st would y'all be crying like you are above?

Alphaonetango

Eh, a dollar or two is well worth it for me as I like the interaction here compared to LIT and I think we get more updates from Tef then there.

Well, the transition will be hard waiting. But I can go back to getting the chapters from LTE I guess. But once the wait is over, they'll be Free. That's a silver lining. :)

TF4EVA

better still post the new chapter. But hey it's close I can feel it...

The heatwave in England is showing to be over, let's give Tefler time to update us.

Miss chatting with you, ignore the knuckleheads

Donovan Gibson

Tefler's been making very complicated chapters which require a lot of time to cross-check things so that plot holes don't get made. So he's been posting chapters more slowly both due to that and due to a heat wave that hit London and slowed his progress down even more. A new one should be coming out soon so you'll have more up on Lit to read. It's just a dollar per chapter effectively, and even less if you consider that joining now would give you access to all of the previous chapters (1224, 123, 122, and before) without paying more than a dollar if you then have to cancel. He's probably also making sure that his newest chapters don't require him to retroactively change 122, 123 and 124 to keep plot continuity because there's a lot of shit hitting the fan ATM.

Roman Andrew Chalfant

F5?

Whats going on with the uploads to the story, im stuck at ch. 121, and i dont have online cash, so i cant afford the patron stuff. I tend to read the stories on literotica, but there hasnt been an upload in a long time... Whats goin on?

The length of time from her first betrayal doesn't really matter but Shanryl just stepped all over the budding Maliri/TFed alliance. Including prior acts of assistance by the Maliri it's a done deal except for the lap dances. I'd be willing to bet that after the last Admiralty meeting and the summary elimination of a dissenting foot-dragger that not one of the admirals will complain about consulting, timing, or paperwork. The equivocation doesn't really scan for Irillith or any of the other Lionesses, none of them did anything even close to aiding and abetting the destruction of an entire fleet along with the systematic murder of the survivors. Edit: broke free and missed the appropriate Comment sub-thread.

thomas rodrian

I hope you mean 2019

Matt

To be fair he gave 2 dates in July, but not the year. Fingers crossed for 2020 :)

Traditionally, chapters get posted as close to midnight as physically possible. And it's 1700 right now. Best case? Another 7 hours. Worst case? Right after you land... In an airport with no WiFi.

Robert Barr

*drooling* have two hour flight - hoping this chapter pops before we go wheels up!!

Chill Pills are in Isle 3.

Beautiful sunny, 23°C here in the North Coast of NSW, but could do with some downtime reading, in the sun

well, Friday has been OK in the UK but Wednesday definitely wasn't, overnight Wednesday into Thursday was at least unpleasant. hardly think his timeline was unrealistic and he should have looked at the weather, and its just being used as an excuse.

John Jameson

Meanwhile, IRL, Tefler posted a highly unrealistic timeline for producing two chapters by the end of the month, at a moment when there was a clear forecast for a UK heatwave. Why did he do this? I don't think he needs to produce two chapters for the money, as he gets more than three times his target income from one chapter, so his motivation must be reader expectation. I therefore think that he was aware that there was an excuse (hot weather) for the delay ahead. The UK has now had cooler days since the 23rd (Friday, and Wednesday was also not too bad), demonstrating the unrealistic nature of the original schedule. In my view, this behavior is driven by the artificial agenda of the monthly Patreon payment schedule, which influences patrons and creators alike. It is totally awesome that Tefler can write two chapters a month for this amazing story. I do not expect to receive them according to Patreon deadlines: if one month I get one, and the next I get three, no big deal: why has this become such a big deal?

Steve

Considering how twisted they become in the astral, my guess would be they don't retain their memories or sense of self. They seem rather primal with only basic instincts. Xar'Aziuth probably feeds on everything else that makes them who they are.

Arrowglass

With the shroud in place, does the astral overlord even know what happened other than a progenitor died? When Larn'kelnar died, does he go to the astral plain as a slave of Xar'aziuth..... with memories intact...mindless...or something else?

Mapper

by lunch ... Progenitors are an endangered species.

Steve

Anyone wanna make a prediction of how quick the latest progenitor is gonna go down? Think this is gonna be a cat and mouse theme for a few chapters or is John gonna get his rage out on this latest asshat?

thomas rodrian

today we'll get to 101, tomorrow 106, and Sunday 109. This is normal.

Evan

It looks like the temperatures are now going to be coming down in London.

Jedi Khan

For London, which is where Tefler is at, that's pretty damn hot. For where I'm at, while it's still hot, that's the average temperature in the summer. Air conditioning for the win.

Richard de Leeuw

It's 43 degrees C witch translates to 109 F that's kinda hot to be concentrating on writing

Kensyi

Yeah the fake out hurt. I can only reread the story so many times before I get the need for more. But I understand not being able to concentrate. I'm trying to write my thesis for my master's and I am finding a lack of motivation. Looking forward to another chapter soon.

TranceR

I'm thinking we'll get one chapter and the first half of the second. Normal

Feeling the withdrawal 😥😥😥

Hello Tefler when we can expect the next chapter. I would have happily waited until the month end until you raised the hope of the one chapter at 23 and one more before the month end.

Alphaonetango

My guess. It was a pro level Hax0r man stuff.

Steve

I hope we get a bit more clarification about how Tom's fighter was sabotaged. Having flown a lot while in high school, I have a hard time picturing any pilot getting up in the air (or out in space) without going through a startup checklist and verifying system's integrity. That fight was the only thing I did not enjoy about 123.

Matt

Time to start Delorian shopping.

thomas rodrian

Okay, so she is not as bad as Admiral Fish because she did not pull the trigger, but IMO, she is a rabid dog. A rabid dog cannot be trusted. They will attack everyone. In essence, she attacked her house and the Maliri by abandoning her post and weaken their forces. She is a traitor. Treat her like one.

Shree_Pratham

is it F5 time yet?

Arrowglass

Shanryl did block the "attack advisory/call for help" with the T-Fed forces along with the log deletions, but the false info being provided by the sensor net net had already been done when she went out to do what she did.

thomas rodrian

Really? I don’t understand your comment. Considering I’m not British, I am lost. Why do you think he is showing a lack of proper concern for armaments?

Steve

That would be really cool if that happens.

bob lakhanpal

I have a feeling Shanryl and her Lahlenori are going to be the crew of the destroyer sitting in the cargo bay, in the near future......specialist hackers and cyber ops under Irillith.......

John P

Just want to say Tefler has a very cavalier attitude towards armaments considering he's apparently British. No criticism.

Warren Thomas

26th Australia now Melbourne f”n freezing & raining, strong winds be nice to seat next a reading 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It isn't happening today. Tefler already posted he was a few days behind because of the heat wave. I don't expect it until around the 27th

Of course, that is why you’ve hit F5 4091 times in the last hour. And you thought nobody would notice. Don’t worry, I wont tell anyone.

There is a chance the chapter will drop before the maintenance.

thomas rodrian

Just normal preventative maintenance, but it might come at an inconvenient time.

Message popping up on when launching the Patreon site "Patreon will be down for scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, July 24th from 9pm to 11pm Pacific time. Thanks for your patience while we take care of the site for you. :)"

I just re-read the book every 10 chapters or so.

Just started with chapter 122 again to build up till 124 is released..

Vincent

Idk about beth tbh, what makes you (and some other people) think she is with the traitor? Apart from the fact she is a character in that storyline of course. Genuinely curious as i dont get that vibe from her at all

TF4EVA

Maybe John and his Pride could address climate change

thomas rodrian

Well, if we get to speculate, then I guess I should first repeat my previous suggestion. Beth is alive and she is the master mind behind the traitor’s betrayal. Second, if more than one is allowed, chapter 124, focuses on the attack n Olympus. Third, Dana will realize they always had a way to make Faye into a ‘real girl’. Finally, Admiral Lynette will be forced into revealing her post-Attack on Terra look.

Tefler announced above a couple of days' delay due to the hot weather in the UK.

It is now 7/24 in Jolly ole England

The 23rd you say...

Vincent

Damn i was so looking forward to it so much already, but make sure to take your time to make the new chapters as amazing as the ones before

Who Me

Grrrrrrr! - Need My Fix!!!!!

Evan

Thank you for the notification. Try to enjoy the heat while you can... and some family time! :-)

Cignal

Thanks for the update Tefler.

Thanks for letting us know. :)

Tefler

The UK is going through a heatwave at the moment and it's too hot to concentrate on writing. It'll be another couple of days until I complete the next chapter. :-(

John Gregory

Hi Tefler, did you finish the final version of chapter 123 add per your comment on the 20th yet? Not seem anything yet.

John Gregory

Hi Tefler,

shawnnight88

You need an intervention man just chill it will be ok

Vincent

I actually think she is gone for good for the next 10s of chapters, otherwise the stakes are thrown out of the window and there is no feelinf if suspense, remember when jade died and john just brought her back? I think pulling this move once is enough in a series and doesnt need to be repeated, the new nymphs are already being trained to fill in fayes rolls, and most likely little one will grow as a character aswell

rich ed

so the title for chapter 121 on literotica is "Wounded little lion" do you think this is alluding to Faye? She must be somewhere in the digital network, maybe once the ship is put back together they find her? As the collective node would know she is not currently present.

it's usually a late in the day (almost the next day) posting so rest that finger for a while

Who Me

Is it the 23rd yet? F5 F5 F5!!!!!!!

mark

He normally edits the header for the post it was initially in when he updates it. He normally doesn't make a new post for the final version.

Taco1085

my question is will you repost on Patreon and alert us it is altered?

B S

1 really epic chapter is fine with me...

Horny Rhino

Dude, Tefler. Take it easy bud, don't burn yourself out. Remember, YOU are more important than 2 chapters a month. I think we can all agree that we'd rather you take your time on a chapter to do your thing, than rush to hit a "deadline"... Am I right people?

Steve

I think it was rather strongly suggest that they are gonna eschew the progenitor dreads in favor of a leaner and meaner Invictus (hopefully the mark 3 get elongated to a battleship sized vessel)

Hinterlands Man

Man, Terrans can't catch a break. I see the following happening: The Gladiator fetish progenitor shows up, gets defeated handily by speed and experience and strength rather than power reserve attrition. The black metal of the ship is turned white by them christening the ship with a big round of sex or perhaps more specifically, fluid exchange. In chapter 38, Jade offered John a drink of water and gave it to him by mouth. It turned into one of those searing kisses. "Unnoticed behind them, the hull of the Invictus was shrouded in a faint nimbus of light, the radiance centred where the amorous couple had been kissing. It slowly faded out of sight as the group walked away, leaving the jet black hull glistening with a dark sinister lustre." So there is hope for these progenitor vessels, but my guess is they need to FULLY convert it to white metal. They might find out by accident, but nonetheless when time is of the essence they will likely commandeer this black Progenitor vessel in order to teleport blam right into the Brimorian fleet, mess it up, and so on.

It was reported that there was only one known survivor, so unless she was in the traitor's pod that the Brimorians rescued, i don't see how she can still be alive.

Tefler, whatever you do, don't kill Beth.

Looks great so far. Not really a spoiler since I am certain you all expect that.

thanks

CJ Mora

I seriously **NEED** these chapters, man! Jonesing for my TSM fix, and there's no crutch, no substitute, no cure to this addiction. (And the first whiff I get of an intervention, Imma go Progenitor on their ass!)

I am with those betting on Tefler getting it done this month with 2 chapters. TKS Tefler!

Shree_Pratham

Thanks for the update. Please write at your own pace. :-)

Cignal

Thanks for the update Tefler.

it's pretty certain the shit will hit the fan. i'm 100% certain Tefler has been researching both shit attracting fans, AND fan seaking shit for the last 124 chapters...

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

While I celebrate the impending release of 124 I am skeptical that we will see 125 by the 31st. That gives Tefler only 8 days to make Grammatical changes to 124 as well as send the first half to editors, get their feedback, incorporate that feedback, and write the second half....which is neigh to impossible. The man is a prodigious writer, but given that, 8 days just seems a bit short. At best I would expect a partial chapter on the 31st with several additional scenes added later. Unless, of course, Tefler has been writing both chapters in parallel, which is entirely possible. What that means for us, most likely, is the shit is hitting the fan and instead of doing it all in one chapter he is splitting it up as it would be double chapter in length to do it all in one...which I don't mind. Just don't be shocked if the finish of 125 spills over into August.
