《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.

Or would it become something else entirely?
8 177The Blessed Princess
Long long ago, there was a time of eternal harmony, when pain and anguish ceased to exist. The world was united as one under the rule of a glorious goddess. But this goddess made a stupid mistake, and chaos rained through her lands. Her people fought and fought, and she lost control over her creations. To sustain peace, she destroyed herself, and her remnants scattered throughout the lands and into the souls of her people. Her last words were to her daughter, the goddess of love, whom she had cherished, "Though I cannot fix the mistakes I've made, I can wish my people to be happy. No more endless pain. No more raging wars. Love, please. Save my world. Restore hope into the eyes of those I've created." She became the forgotten goddess after her world lost its ruler. First Princess Azulia was born a human with a shocking resemblance to the forgotten goddess. Her hair was ink black, and her eyes glimmered like priceless sapphires. Her features were uncanny in similarity to the goddess, even in the way she held herself. Though the goddess's eyes were more like icicles, Azulia's resemblance was enough to make you think twice. Azulia was raised with the mindset that she would be the future Empress of Hydrangea. It was a destiny placed out in front of her and carefully sorted out. Those around her directed her life like a pawn. Until one day, comes the beak of time, and her destiny points in another direction. Azulia must learn to break the tension her family shapes and create a destiny of her own. Her world depends on it, even if it means she must destroy herself.
