August Progress Report - Marathon | Plus, a question!
🕑 Added 2020-09-01 16:10:12 +0000 UTCAugust was the month of picking back up after the back-to-back roughness of June and July. Finishing patreon scenes such as the content featuring Shekka (and Anno!), pushing on some unannounced projects, and generally getting myself pieced together.
What happened this month specifically? Besides the above, I've expanded my responsibilities for TiTS development. All content submitted must be reviewed by Fen to be implemented. In the meanwhile, I will be proofreading and editing as much of it as I can to ensure better QA going forward in not just my content, but that of all other projects, such as Savin's, Adjatha's, and any volunteer work.
Noob and None wanted to take a break for August, so there was no C10 work during the month nor will there be (so far as I know) a patch this month. Therefore, there will be some to follow for the October patch, an all new zone and a few new enemies.
Summer hasn't been kind to me this year. June, July, and even August just two days ago. There have been some deeply harsh events that have taken their toll on me, but I will carry on. I'm afraid my Gab Chemist contributions were delayed by this, but not for much longer.
Tomorrow, I will be posting an announcement pertaining to CoC2. If you're a member of the Public Fenoxo Discord, you might have already seen what it is. The completion of a long-secret project is coming up. With that, I will also be sharing my CoC2 document folder along with the TiTS files. I've kept most of them (save for Evergreen) hidden because of references to something I didn't want spoiled. I have a feeling a ton of people would love to get their hands on the Cat Harem doc too, ha ha.
And, hopefully, joining this once-mysterious project at fruition will be quite a few OTHER things that I've been unsuccessful in delivering in a timely manner. I plan to resolve those issues this month. Words are hard (and often cheap) but I'm feeling it. In the next few days I'll be starting a marathon stream to last however many days it takes to finish Roo. I did this with the CoC2 Cat Harem, wherein I finished 40,000 words in only seven days. I streamed it every night at roughly the same time and managed to keep my head for it.
I need to do this for Roo. There has to be a push, and I'll be doing it for the early month.
In 2019, my biggest failing was defeatism. Occasionally I mention to others whom my favorite writers are and why I look up to them: Fen, Nonesuch, and especially Adjatha. Content slowed a lot in Spring-Summer back then; lots of plans but not quite as much throughput as I wanted. I've overcome the personal second-guessing since then. In my latest Shekka scenes (and the Cat Harem, still, regardless of it being a few months back) I think I've got a handle on my new general prose. I can only hope that you the readers will continue to enjoy it.
My biggest problem, now is just sticking to proper time management. Getting back to regular work transparency, rather than whittling hours away chatting randomly in our Discord, ha ha.
With the upcoming marathon, I very much intend to keep altering myself bit by bit.
And to end us out, a question for my patrons. Patreon has built in support for Discord and roles for exclusive servers based on whatever tier the creator assigns. As I am Fenoxo's employee on Trials in Tainted Space, it would seem awkward to set up my own private patreon server when I can essentially do the same things within our public discord server.
Please comment if you think a private, personal discord server would be meaningful. If anything, I think it'd just be a more readable repository for my posts, reports, updates, and especially links to projects.

An alternate discord with you as the boss sounds like a party so I'm game
I will be reposting the TiTS folder tomorrow with the CoC2 folder.
