What are the next steps in Raven's plan, and what part do her family still have to play?

icehead Wrote:It's time to put Paula's idea of pairing off Zander and Heather into practice. Will it turn out to be the magic pairing that she hopes for? And will pairing them in a double date with her and Lance equal two and two?

icehead Wrote:Mina's games with Marcus are coming to an end, and it's time for her to admit straight up what she wants with him. Will Marcus accept and give in, or will he continue to resist her? Can he resist her anymore?

For that matter, can Kenneth continue to resist Heather and Andie? With his stepdaughters throwing their sexuality in his face, can he continue to keep himself away?

icehead Wrote:Here we witness the morning after for Marcus and Mina. How is Marcus going to deal with what he and his cousin have done?

Then, it's time for one small part of the truth to come out. Carlos and Srishti are about to reveal to Rick and Krista the real circumstances of how they met them in St. Martin, and the relation they have to someone Rick knows. How will they take the reveal?

Dukerino Wrote:Hello, folks! It's May, so my hope is that Princess of the Void returns from its hiatus this month. However, April has been tricky for a couple of reasons that have prevented me from putting as much work into Princess of the Void as it deserves. The first is that I am in the middle of a long and sad goodbye to a family member, an aunt, who is in hospice with late-stage dementia.

The other is that I am being sued, lmao.

The other is that I am being sued, lmao.

There is very little I can say about this right now, except that me and my fellow defendants (a number of other web series authors) firmly disagree with the lawsuit's allegations. We have retained counsel and feel that we have a robust defense.

Writing started as a silly little hobby for me and accidentally became the most important thing I do in my spare time, thanks to my enthusiastic and wonderful audience. The great gift I've been given, besides all of you, is that–contrary to the old chestnuts about how bad it is to make your hobby your job–the joy of writing has never gone away. This past month, I have been much more productive than I thought I would be, getting about seven chapters into PotV on Patreon, because writing these silly little stories has proven to be a wonderful escape from the difficulties I currently face.

Because of the legal action currently happening around it, that is not true of Princess of the Void at the moment. And so, despite my great love for the story and high excitement about where it is going in Volume 6, working on it continues to be very difficult. It's not impossible, and I'm still doing it. But it's slower than I want it to be, and until the legal path forward for the story has cleared up, I can't update it here on ($website). I hope to do so as soon as possible, ideally this month, but that depends on a few factors (including legal ones) beyond my control. Volume 6 is ongoing on Patreon but somewhat slow going. My backup plan, if this legal stuff continues further than May, is to return to updates at the reduced rate of one chapter a week. Ideally the legal stuff is finished quickly and I can return in full force to the 6th and most exciting (in my opinion) volume of the story.

I don't really know how to conclude this update except to thank you for your continuing support during this period. I am optimistic that I'll have good news for you, and chapter 6.1 of Princess of the Void, very soon.

...ironically on the same day that Raven and Mina decide (to) let him know theirs.

Warning.

icehead Wrote:Paula and Zander's birthday is coming up, and their nearest and dearest are planning a very special celebration for them. And given their new relationships, and with devious minds like Raven and Bobbi behind the scenes, you can bet this is going to be a night to remember.

icehead Wrote:It's Prom night! Zander, Paula, Heather and Lance are headed out for their senior year rite of passage. Including a special celebration afterward in their own style.

A few surprises are in store for them tonight. Some of them pleasant...

...some of them... not so much.

Dukerino Wrote:Hey, it's still May! This counts!

Welcome to Volume 6 of Princess of the Void.

The situation I described in my previous update is still in effect. The legal issues continue, and while they are ongoing, I need to split my attention between this story and others that I have full legal ownership of. However, it's unfair to you, my readers, to stop entirely. Instead I am updating Princess of the Void once a week. We'll be doing Fridays only going forward for a time.

icehead Wrote:Marcus has completed his classes and is headed home to the circus that the Greenfield house has become. Is he ready to join in with his siblings' new lifestyle?

If Bobbi has anything to say about it, he might find it hard to say no.

icehead Wrote:What do you want? Such a simple, yet complicated question.

What does Paula want? Now that Marcus is home and wading into the waters of his siblings' new lifestyle, does Paula want to partake with him too? Is Zander the only brother she wants to cross that line with, or is she open to sharing that with more of her family as Bobbi has?

What does Keiko want? Is she tempted to cross that line with Marcus too? Would doing something like that with her son be better or worse than what she's been doing with Barry?

What does Lily want? Does she want to keep running from her past? Is she ready to face her family again?

What are each of them going to do?

Dukerino Wrote:Hello, folks!

I have some news for you up top here. You might remember that I've mentioned a few times another story I'm working on while Princess of the Void's legal future remains in question. That story is called Headless Over Heels and its first 100k word volume is already complete over on Patreon, but I am happy to announce that it will be launching on Royal Road this month! Once it does, I will post an update (and a bonus chapter in all likelihood) here to let you all know that it's here and where to find it. As an early preview, the below spoiler is its cover drawn by Cromsferatu, portraying its heroine: Annalise al Ydris. Dullahan, executioner, and mother of two.
