《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.

Cosanta
Attie, a young boy who has from a young age not been able to speak or utter much of any sounds, and his exploration of the world using his gift of spiritual sight as the anchor of his power. It will be slow going, but power is granted suddenly and viciously, the story will be centered around a world gradually being exposed to supernatural powers and entities and how these changes affect mankind and individual people. Multiple main characters, some with stories that intertwine and others entirely separate and distinct. Heavily character focused. --- Any critique about anything at all is greatly appreciated.

The God Complex
Alon wishes to be remembered—to stamp his existence on this cruel world, to engrave the fact that "he was here" into the very Earth. This is his sole purpose; To be important. For what greater reason is there to exist if not to be remembered? People are special. People aren’t... Your actions in this life define how those left behind remember you. Once you die, you’re reborn and live on, if only for a time; The grander the actions in this life, the longer your second one becomes. Alon knows this better than anyone, and he will live in the minds and hearts of everyone in Krestelen longer than anyone that has come before. Krestelen is a place long forgotten by those outside its walls; known by most as the Cursed City of The Dead, with the Lower Tier of the City being abandoned by the Upper Tiers after an inexplicable Fog blanketed the entire sector thirty-four years ago. This Fog adds those unfortunate enough to be caught within it into the legions of Vacant roaming the empty streets of the city: A creature that has seemingly lost all reasoning and sanity, to wander around the streets crying into the palms of their hands as they beg for help, to be freed from their condition. This is the place that Alon, and the Gang led by his mentor Casian, shall steal the very source of what gives those in power—the rightfully ruling family, the Deramore's—their ability to live in luxury as those below in the Lower Tier struggles to survive. They will forever be cast into the annals of the history of this cursed place—for better, or for worse.

Reborn as a Dungeon Boss
If anyone were to take my actions, my feats, my influence on the world, and write them down as a story, there would be one point that needs to be raised before all else. This is not a song of redemption. This is not a tale of hope. This is not a parable of goodness. No. Mine is a warning of destruction. Slaughter. Death. For death brought me into this world...and death I shall bring to it. This will be my second attempt at writing a novel. For the fans of my first work, I'm sorry for disappearing for so long...life happened. I will continue that one at some point, but for now I want to try to get back into the groove of writing. Thank you for giving me a chance.
