BoSF - Chapter Update
Hi all,
Just a quick heads up for tomorrow. David, the writer of BoSF, is running a little behind, only by a day, but I wanted to give everyone fair warning since I know, like me, many of you are big fans of BoSF.
As many of you know, the first seven days of BoSF were pre written before it launched on Patreon and YouTube. Since day eight, however, every chapter has been written live during that same week. David now knows exactly how Ekhinda has felt for the last two years, especially writing around 7.5k words per day.
I am hopeful the next chapter will be with us on Friday, just one day later than expected, and I really appreciate your understanding and patience.
Thanks again,

👍❤️ I can’t even imagine how hard it’d be to post a new story every week I am grateful what we get, Alot of hard work you all are doing! Ty. My hubby and I go back and rewatch the all the Older Black Ship episodes and side stories we can while waiting for the new Episodes to come out….its a trip how many details I didn’t notice the first time. 🤣
I almost enjoy the comments as much as the story. So many ideas that are well founded. We are developing a new society and test case in the Princapality. I like the idea of the union between Clara and Istonal. I think when Toronel becomes a Lord, then Elisabeth and Wyatt can also get married. Her comminor back ground would be needed by Wyatt. This story has so many ways to continue.
I like to request if possible other stories from the BoSF. One withe the Fishing Guild, where they set up weather stations on some of the islands off the coast and to have other persons from Heago be included. Weather fronts moving in would help all the planet know when storms are moving in and what temperature ranges for the day and expected to develop. Agricultural sectors need to know the temperature, wind, rain and any powerful storms that could do damage to the crops. Seeds need to be planted when the soil is warm and also conditions at harvest time. Weather stations post on out lying islands and may be settlements to be considered for the fishing sectors, including building summer homes that could be built for rental out to other planet residences, or for the rich members of the nobility. Then the issue of a sea rescue service for any boats that need assistance. When you are working on the sea, the battle is against one's self. A Sea rescue Service can then be sent up in Newtown as well on the islands off the coast, that can also do another service of charting, the shore line, current direction, temperature of the water, the topography of the sea floor. This would also give an opportunities to offer the students in school to become an apprentice on the boat, Weather Service, Sea Rescue and Ocean Study, and may be a new industry of oyster farming and creating pearls inside of oysters and them harvesting and then using the shells to go back into the sea to help the young oyster fry to attach to old oyster shells to grow into a future oyster. This would crate a industry for the sell to restaurants, and the pearl harvesting to sell to the jeweler to work with and sell. Plus then the discussion of having enough ice for the boats and in having a processing center that the fish can be cleaned, processed and then frozen into packages and boxes to ship out on a rail car. This bring up the need to have a work crew that can repair the rails and to install new rails onto the track. Note a wood rail road tie have a life of about 45 to 50 years before they have to be replaced at times and during accidents. So a established rail crew is going to be need as well in the transporting the cut trees that will then be sawed into lumber and shipped back out. Other logging areas on the planet may need to have access to a saw mill and would need flat bed rail stock to move these cut lumber to Newtown and this would result into have a lumber Brokerage to buy and sell logs and then finished products out to the planet. Then this logging sector will have to have firefighters, for fires do occur on the Screaming Forrest (Lighting Strikes, High Humidity readings, and possible wind damage from major storms - tie into the weather service). The loggers would need to know the actions to prevent fires or in putting out a fire that was caused by nature or in a accident. This again requires the young teenagers in the school to learn all the knowledge of Forestry and biology in growing new types of trees, bushes and scrubs. Not telling you what to write, but maybe ideas to help keep developing these characters that you introduced us to to continue the development of Newtown and showing the wealth and industry development that when
I very much enjoy the story line in the BoSF. I do hope that other stories will continue even as Wyatt has departed into Harms Way
Don't hurry, better a little late with the usual high standards and excellence than rushed and lacking.
Hows it going any updates?
I also have another question where is and what is rumble would it help me out more on finding the episodes that I'm looking for or I haven't seen since the holidays?
GYou can down load rumble app on the play store app that is on android devices, or use the App Store app that is on iOS devices. Rumble has all sorts of stuff like other platforms like YouTube, etc. 😉
no rush, take all the time you need, been enjoying the side story, and a little delay just means I get to get apprehensive an anxious is all. Great job!
What time zone are you in ? . As a Aussie my today may differ than yours .
😢😥😭😭😱🥵
Lol
Take all the time you need I would prefer he stays in good health I love the stories and can wait as long as needed the author is more important
thanks, looking forward to tomorrow
Hya Scifistories, as can be seen from the comments, managing expectations by informing in advance has no adverse impact on the commitment we have to the channel you have created for these stories. Hence why I really do hope that you do discuss with the writers what is a realistic timeframe to both write a chapter of sufficient length and drop said chapter. There is nothing magical about a weekly drop. The frequency should be dictated by the time taken to write AND a judgement of how long listeners can wait before the next chapter. As an example Viper yesterday informed us that the Big reveal concerning Niko parents is in the 21st Chapter. We are on Chapter 18 of WTJ at the moment. So that means I have no expectation of the big reveal next week so won't be disappointed . I get the sense from my fellow commentators that we all want this Channel and TBS universe to succeed so I hope our contributions will be viewed and valued as such.
It's the authors who dictate the schedule. If they have issues they let me know and I pass it on. The authors are free to do what they want. i'm not forcing them to write. But, At the same time, a deadline can be a beautiful thing in this game. But I dont pressure them to get the story out. They may feel pressure from so many fans waiting on them, but thats a different kind of pressure.
Perhaps we should give David a week or two off. Give him time to focus on content vs deadline. Give him time to focus on quality vs our selfish lil arses. 😉 Appreciate all the hard work, David.
"Good things come to those who wait". Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you very much for the update. I for one really enjoy BOSF And whatever it takes I will be patient even if I have to hit myself with a Ball peen hammer LOL😻😻😻😻😻
Loyalty is its own reward and victory shall suffice
Thanks for letting us know. The story is more worth waiting for!
Thanks for the update!
Thanks 😁
That's understandable... Intriguing storytelling is not an easy task to complete successfully. Kudos to the entire staff of this channel who gift us all of these wonderful storylines week by week to enjoy! 💖💖💖💯👏
That’s fine I will just listen from the beginning again and be ready for the new episode
Exactly my thought lol
We are still ahead of YT thank you for the great stories of the BOSF I love it and can not wait till the next one.....thank you for the great world building
Huge thanks. Super appreciate managing our expectations. Keep well.
Thanks for the update. The stories are all great. I too would rather wait a week or so for a good story rather than something that has to be rushed and released with errors. It's been exciting to listen to the stories and the scenes pictured are better than just showing the ship for the whole time. I was hooked with Book one of the main story. Even though it was almost 12 hours I was really into it. Exciting and great story telling. The side stories really add to the character development. Thanks for all the great work the writers do for me and the rest of their audience.
Take your time, dont Rush and i think everybody understands that real life is Always more important. Thank you for the great stories
I am looking forward to the next story. But to be honest, you should think about writing the stories a couple of weeks ahead of the posting. That way it would give the writers more time and to be honest you could use more time to PROOF READ the stories better. Sorry if I hurt some feelings, I just want to be honest about my feelings.
Hey David, take your time. We all know life can make things hard to complete. I would rather wait a few days for a complete project.
Thanks for the update
Thanks, and looking forward for the next episode.
Take your time. Cant rush quality
Take your time. Thanks for the stories
Thanks for the heads up
Every other week?
Lol brakeout the wet noodles to tie him to his desk lol lol 😆 😂
Just don't burn out!
No worries. I'd rather wait for a quality product than him having to rush it. He should take his time.
one day will not kill anyone. I would rather have the quality if one more day will give that, then that's ok. thanks for the heads uo
Cool
Perfectly understandable. No one wants you guys to get burned out or for the quality of the stories to suffer. Thanks for the heads up.
Sounds good. 👍🏼
Thanks for the heads up can't for tomorrow
Thanks for the heads up. I know that I can get sidetracked from time to time when life gets in the way of all other things.
Thanks for letting us know and for the great story BoSF is.
Thanks, love the side stories.
No problème. Tell him to not force himself too much in trying to keep the deadline. It’s the best way to burn yourself when you are writing
Thanks
As long as we have some exploding pirate ships and The wraith and blood Ren doing their thing. I'm good. 😂
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for everything especially keeping my stress level down which these days is huge.
Thanks
All good. For these 30-40+ minute videos, it's has to be a chore to get them done every week. Especially if it's a hobby. A day or 2 late won't kill us.
Ok, I guess if you have to.
Thanks for letting us know, but what day will next week's be on?
Thank you for the heads up
Scifistories you have done exactly what many of us have been asking for namely keeping us informed so that expectations are managed. I don't think writers should put themselves under undue pressure. I think it's far more important to simply have a date when something is going to be ready and then publish on that date. No one can then be unhappy with that as they will know when something is ready. I do think that the length of chapter is important so perhaps all 3 writers need to think about whether it is sustainable for them to produce a chapter of 30 - 40 mins each week . If it is not then they should say what is a realistic timeframe to produce chapters of that length regularly and let us know.
Thank you for letting us know. I don't think any of us has any problems with delay. It's only becomes slightly frustrating when we are left completely in the dark without any communication. 😊 Take as much time as needed.
I say quality first! David needs a day David gets a day!
I'd rather wait for a good story, not get something rushed, or burn out the author with pressure. Take your time! I only thought the first week was supposed to be a weekly thing any way, everything since is just a bonus
God 7.5k I just finished college and that would kill me
Thank you for letting us know. I am ok with the delay and hope that as a group will be mindful of the words said.
Thanks for the notice. Quality over speed.
Thank you for the heads up
