#planned updates

Hey everyone! <3

I'm so sorry for the silence here on Tumblr, I really need to keep up with my author updates. If you've been here a while, you know Social media and Tumblr/Forum visits are always the first thing to go for me when I'm very busy (no excuse, really), but rest assured I always continue plugging away/finding pockets of time to write.

Now for the fun stuff!

Progress on the FULL chapter update 

The chapter that covers the weekend with Sam is almost done. I’m a whopping 90k words in now (this includes the sneak peek with the post-match scenes + dinner + bar scene).

NEW scenes I’ve written since the sneak peeks include team dinner with Sam (or not), a party scene (with potential drunk confession scenes and a little drinking game), as well as not one but TWO scenes where MC gets to decide whether to share a bed with Sam.

Scenes I'm still writing: MC returns to Cargill after sending Sam off to the train station, MC's weekend if Sam's not there

Tentative dates

I’ll be posting the non-beta-tested chapter update as soon as I edit and finish writing—likely by early Sep for ko-fi supporters and beta-testers, and 2-3 weeks after that for the edited/beta-tested version (to the public).

P.S. I love receiving your asks, and I know I've been terrible with answering them lately, but know that I cherish every single one of your messages and usually will start answering more of them after a major update (to take a break from writing!)

CT:OS Pt. 1 (public) will be out 28 Sep!

Hey all!

Hope you enjoyed the CT:OS update (Pt. 1)!

I'm back home from my trip, which means I've gone back to writing and editing in preparation for Pt. 2!

As Pt. 1 was a little delayed, and I didn't do much writing or editing while on holiday, Pt. 2 release will likely be closer to the end of the month / next month, but I'll firm up the release dates closer to when I've gotten everything written and have sent it out for beta-testing.

Good news though, is that because I'm pushing back the dates a bit, I'm aiming to add some extra content that I hadn't planned to fit into pt. 2... which means you'll all definitely get the Sam kiss you've been waiting for ;)

For now, here are the tentative release dates:

Beta-testers: 28 Oct Early-release: 4 Nov Public release: 11 or 18 Nov

Lastly, I'll push out an edited version of CT:OS to the public demo around the same time that I release Pt. 2 to beta-testers, so if there are errors or bugs from Pt. 1 that you think I haven't quite fixed yet, do let me know.

Main features of Pt. 2 under the cut.

Ooh! I'm thinking of doing a Merry Crisis update next, roughly end-Jan (early-release).

Then, since it'll be Feb earliest that I start writing CT:OS again, I'm thinking I should add more to the singles match (do a bit of the post-match reactions) in the update, which will take some time.

I think in the past you once said there would be a hangout (or sleepover??? Im i miss remembering?) at Tobins house with the team in the next few updates, is that still in the cards? I love the team dearly and wish for more bonding time <3 deepal is very quickly becoming my favorite

Heyy thanks for the question! And hehe I hope you enjoyed / will enjoy the Deepal scene with Rayyan in pt. 1 :)

Yep there'll still be a team sleepover, I had to move it back cause I felt the ratio of tennis : non tennis in this chapter was already pretty good and adding the sleepover would tilt the scales.

Here's a rough plan of the major scenes coming your way in the next 2-3 updates:

Next update (pt. 2)

Cargill vs. Cornell (singles & doubles)

Following update

Team dinner / hangout / party after the match (+Sam)

Hallmates afternoon hangout (+Sam)

Sam & MC scene ❤️

Update after that

2 weeks of classes, one more home match (short)

HAHHAA.

Not me plugging myself, but. I think CT:OS update 7.0 is going to be a romp too, anon ;)

New! My 禁断 - Kindan - [Forbidden] series where I play with taboo pairings, settings, kinks...ect. 

Pairing one: Nara Shikaku x Nara Shikamaru - Incest 

I’m sorry that I’m taking a little break from my SasuHina pairing, my loves, but I’m currently feeling so burned out and exhausted in that avenue that I need to plunge into something a little different from my usual. Otherwise I’ll burn out my candle at both ends.

I would greatly appreciate if my honeys could stay with me during this little break, I do so apologize that I cannot deliver what my honeys seem to love so much.  

Also, just a note, I’m NOT going to stop writing for SasuHina. Chapter 4 of Halcyon Temptation has already been planned and will be posting after I complete the next two one-shots to come: 

禁断||| The Black Spider Lily ||| - Nara Shikaku x Nara Shikamaru 

牡鹿の鷹||| Hollyhocks & Sage ||| - Uchiha Sasuke x Nara Shikamaru 

After that I’ll be making my rounds through Blue Spinel and then back to Adamantine Litmus, all before Uni starts up again next year and I get swept away with all the hard work.
