《The Forgotten Man -- Platinum Online》Foreword
Advertisement
Hello readers of The Forgotten Man.
The narrative is a GameLit/LitRPG, which means it's a story about a guy in a game world and, like most of the genre, the main character gets stuck there. I've always been more interested in base-building and army management than super detailed skills and personal power gain. I've sort of aimed for what would happen if you played one of the heroes from Heroes of Might and Magic and experienced it first hand.
This is my first go writing anything long form, and I've decided to overcome my hesitance of whether or not I can sustain a longer project by sort of just going at it every day. I aim to write for about 2.5 hours a day, which tends to be about ~2000 words of writing. This is very much a first draft and it pains me, as a professional, high-school English teacher, to publish anything I haven't meticulously analysed three or four hundred times. I welcome and expect some criticism.
If you enjoy The Forgotten Man, I'd appreciate it if you followed, favourited and commented on whatever you liked and disliked. As many of my readers have likely already noticed, I read all feedback and, if I agree with it, change my story to be better.
Finally, I'd also like to ask, pretty please, for you to leave a 5-star review if you feel I've earned it. Higher ratings really helps to push my story via the internet's algorithms and I think I'll be more likely to continue if I notice that success.
Hope you enjoy the story!
Tim.

Star Wars - Trials of the Sith
The Sith are harsh. They can be cruel. They may be insane. But they are always strong. The journey to that strength is through the fire and the fury of trials where there is no mercy shown. While being forged into a weapon of the Empire, one has to have the strength of will, toughness of mind and the hardness of body. If they succeed, then they may, one day, be known as a Lord of the SIth. This is the story of one such weapon. **Author's notes - I will be posting this on other sites as well such as SH, AO3 and others as I find them. **About this story: This was only intended to be a one off story that is connected my much larger Star Wars fanfic novels, so the first chapter was huge. I have been absolutely delighted to see such a positive response to this (On Scribble Hub) and have decided to continue Talo's story. I have several ideas about this and will be twining her story into the novels as I figure it out. I am very much a Pantser so I have no idea how this will play out. I hope you enjoy the ride as we explore these concepts.

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
