《A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]》[Rewrite now up + announcements]
Advertisement
So the first chapter of the rewrite has passed Royal Roads submission process, and you can find the fiction page here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24374/a-broken-world-rewrite
As I said before, its basically this same story that you chose to follow, only moreso. You can essentially look at this version as the first and the new one as the second, perhaps final, draft.
The other announcements hinted at by the title are a little more complicated, and to a certain extent, still being worked out. The basic rundown is that very little will be changing for readers here on Royal Road from what my original vision was. All of the stories I have published will be receiving weekly updates, each on their own day, at noon.
Stories like "Mystic Ink" and "A Dungeon Core" will be resuming sometime before next Monday (probably tomorrow for Mystic Ink and the day after for A Dungeon Core) with stories like "The 212 Crisis," "RADE," "Pathos," and "The Illuminating Heroes," arriving together this Sunday. The later four will quite possibly also be undergoing rewrites, but due to their limited popularity and rather short current length they will not be resubmitted to Royal Road, but the chapters will be deleted, rewritten, and reuploaded.
Patrons, however, will be seeing much more of a change- at least by volume. My health issues have left me essentially jobless for the current and forseeable future- the consequence of which is that I will be doing a lot more writing and will be able to reward those incredibly gracious folk with a lot more value.
Originially, my Patrons were able to read chapters early- but still essentially received the same number of chapters as anyone else per week. Now, without anything else to do but write, I will be giving my Patrons two chapters per week instead of one at the least, with some weeks hitting three or four depending on how I feel and how well the writing goes.

This is, to a certain extent, because I wish to show my appreciation and thanks for the people who were supporting me even when I had no content to release and to whom I feel extreme gratitude. Even if the contribution was small in the grand scheme of things, my personal situation, both in terms of health and finances meant that it was greatly appreciated.
And while that was the main catalyst for this growth in the chapters they will be receiving, there is another factor. Overall, I want to increase the value of becoming my Patron- something I have always worried about from the start. Many, if not most, of the other novels I have investigated allow Patrons to read chapters early at the five dollar mark as opposed to my one dollar tier. Being able to read chapters early as a one dollar Patron is absolutely NOT changing! As I feel that even at that rate, when compared to a novel bought off a shelf, the value of my work is hardly sufficient. That feeling is also a part of the reason Patrons will be seeing an increase in the amount of chapters they can read a week by two to four times.
However, as a direct result I will likely struggle to earn nearly as much as other Web Novels do on their Patreon pages- which is why I am revisiting what my $5 Patrons will be receiving as rewards. Originally, it was mostly extra content- a lot of which never really materialized as I became more and more depressed.
While the extra art, writing notes, and odd ideas and drafts that never made it into the actual chapters will still be part of the reward for five dollar Patrons, the rewards for that tier will be expanding. While that is something I am still thinking about, monthly AMA's and looks at other stories I have started (but am not writing regularly, more as breaks between other works) are definite additions that are coming and any other suggestions- from Patrons or otherwise- are welcome.

This is, quite probably, the last notification you will be receiving from this particular work. All other announcements will be on my Patreon page or in the Author's notes of other stories chapters. While I am a little sad to say that, (and not entirely sure why I am sad) the rewrite is something I look forward to immensely and I hope to see all of you there.
Patron or Reader, I thank all of you for your support and your incredibly understanding natures. In particular, for their continued support and faith in me even when I had neither faith in, nor will to support, myself, I would like to thank and acknowledge the following:
Hroar Jordan
Tyraelll
Krakatal
Mia
Antoine-Ali Zarrouk
And with a special mention to those who ended their support after waiting far longer than they needed to for a screw up like me to get his act together.
Seijax
Ventches
Romen Martin
Patarn
I have no idea how, but I will find a way to reward all of you for your support. Thank you very much.

The Sea of Destiny
[Let me be straight with you. This is trash, like old dime store novel trash. Don't expect grandiose writing, anything profound, or much beyond being free of spelling errors. Like my profile says, it’s hopefully like a salty snack, decent and satisfying for people looking for this kind of thing (at least that's my hope). It is simple, weird, and most likely growing in ridiculousness as it rapidly escalates.] Michael just wants to get away after a rough breakup. He figures some time alone cruising on a sick jet ski will help clear his head. After a small series of mishaps he winds up as humanities last hope adrift at sea after nuclear devastation destroys the mainland. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the bowl of the ancients before nuclear winter freezes over his dwindling food supply? Who are these mysterious women he keeps meeting, and will he even care about the talents they bring to the table, or will he be too focused on how they keep ruining his carefully laid plans for survival at sea? Read this cheesy short story to see for yourself, and discover the true mystery behind the hand of fate.
