《ATL: Stories from the Retrofuture》ATL Returns Update
Advertisement
ATL returns very soon, just next week. Updates will resume on May 11th (and Systemless will resume on May 9th), and I hope you’re here to read each chapter as it comes out. When ATL returns, I’ll post advance chapters on Patreon (in addition to all the other amazing bonus content).
Just like I wrote in the previous news update (only on the main site oops), when ATL returns, for a while it will only update once a week, on Tuesdays. I’m really sorry about that, but I’m continuously overloaded with projects and they keep lasting longer than I want them to. I already know that my other projects won’t get any less busy by the end of 2021, so to be safe I’m going to post it pretty slow. Hopefully this will mean chapters are a little bit longer than average, but no promises.
Hopefully Dog Days in Hotlanta is still good enough that you’ll keep up every week (it’s about half over currently). But if you want to wait until it’s over to catch up, that’s fine, too; ATL is going to be around for a very long time, so you’re OK to do some binge reading every few months (that’s what I do too). I really hope you leave comments, though! I love comments and try to respond to them when I can.
And, like the previous update, I’m still working on how to do ATL Season 1 ebooks. I’ll probably commission new covers for each story, and maybe pay for a nice copyedit, but that’ll probably cost so much that it will destroy and money the books will ever make… lol the realities of indie publishing… (please donate, I really want to afford the edit) If all goes well, I’ll get all eight Season 1 stories released on digital ebook platforms by the end of 2021, and add them as Patreon rewards as well. If all goes REALLY well, I’ll add each Season 2 story as ebooks right as they finish, too.

Honestly, I don’t know if anyone wants ATL ebooks… Especially when the stories are already online for free. But I want them, so I’m going to try my best to release them.
I really wish I could tell you about all the cool projects I’ve been working on in 2020 and 2021! Hopefully a few more actually show up soon, because I’m really antsy about them. These ATL delays have been worth it, I promise.
Thanks for reading this update. I’m really excited about ATL returning soon, and I hope you are too.

D Days
Dragons were the apex predators of the magical world, feared for their strength and intelligence. They stood at the pinnacle of creation, until mankind fueled by fear and envy banded together and struck them down as the greatest threat to the continued existence of their kingdoms. Peace reigned for many years across the continent, until an accident in the Magocracy of Ken turned one of the most powerful mage lords into a power mad lich. Raising an undead army and creating a cult that worshipped him like a god, he cut a bloody swath across the continent in a bid to create his own domain. A great alliance consisting of the Kingdom of Light, the Magocracy of Ken, the Forest Kingdom of the Elves, the Mountain Kingdom of the Dwarves, and the Wild Tribes of the West rose up and the high lich was defeated, his armies destroyed, and his cult scattered. Still recovering, the world is a constant state of petty power struggles and back biting between nations. Border disputes are common and the constant fighting has taken a toll on the populations of all the nations. Of course, none of this has much bearing on the everyday life of a an ordinary young orphan in the care of a Temple run home. Or does it? *Current Word Count as of 8/4/18: 59,415 I am shooting for at least one update a week. Also, if you see any mistakes let me know and I will fix them. Cover by!*

When this whole thing started, well let’s skip ahead. The start of the story isn’t nearly as interesting as where I ended up. It all started with a dead body and an explosion… But what you really need to know is that, I used to be a loser, then I got jacked and went on my own adventure… After the explosion I took off west, expecting, well what does it matter what I was expecting? What I found was an epic adventure! Who would have thought that could happen to a former loser like me? I became a criminal, a musician, traveled through time, battled beings that shouldn’t exist and took part in a high stakes tournament. But that’s not the half of it! My editor says this blurb thing should be around 200 hundred words, but why don’t you just go ahead and buy the book to get the full story? “God does not play dice with the universe.” -Einstein (Sort of) “However, it’s entirely possible he’s using Me as his personal sitcom.” -Some Guy
