The following post is snippet of a longer post on Paid Patreon and Ko-fi users, released on 5th October 2025.
Done in September:
YouTube Channel news: Going in to September was going to be tough. I’d completed Both Mass Effect 1 and Elite Force 2 in late July and throughout August.
I’d initially held back on starting Mass Effect 2, hoping to use the time to get Elite Force 2 out faster. As I’d had plans to perform some necessary computer Maintenance and upgrades that I’d been holding off on doing.
This upgrade was started on the 19th September, which included moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It didn’t help I also had a hardware issue rise up during this process, at least it’s fixed. I’m still working stuff making it sure the stuff I need is working.
However, during the down time, DECA finally release the latest Star Trek Online Mission in September. This forced me to get certain things working before others. This also delayed my work on the next thing:
Additionally, In July, I realised I need to make changed to my YouTube channel. I’m planning to split the channel in to multiple ones. Currently “Mike Sharpe Writer, The YouTube Channel” has mostly become a Star Trek gaming channel, and it’s mostly performing well with Star Trek Online content. It’s not doing the main purpose of the reason I made it, which is to promote my Website/Books which is actively hurting thing with the channel and my goals. One of the new Channels will become the Official Channel to the website.
Talking about books: Solen Masters Book 1: Acacia’s Silence has finally returned from a hiatus and now is Public. Chapter 15 and 16 are now in Public, with Chapter 17 in Early Access.
Last month I mentioned that added a New website to host Acacia’s Silence, Wattpad. It’s currently releasing one chapter a time every Tuesday, until it gets up to date with the other Public Releases. For example, the latest public Chapter, Ch 16, was released on Patreon on 29th August, went Public on the 29th September. Wattpad is scheduled to get Chapter 16 on November 18th. I’ve done this for multiple reasons, but getting more eyes on it is the goal.
As I previously advertised, Both of the Paid books got another sale! This time it was the “Talk like a Pirate day!” Sale, which meant that both books where free on certain stores! It was a short sale, for only a few days at most.
