Graph update: Chapter 18

Following from the graphs for the previous chapter and the preceding entire story, chapter 18 initially looked like a skip.

Then I remembered.

The...

Chapter 18 of RCBG, 'Optimal Recomposition', is out now!

We have listened to our community, and are happy to note that this chapter includes something everyone's been clamoring for: Someone is mean to Desi! Hopefully, that's enough to tide you for another week, as we head into the exciting climax of RCBG Book One!

TWO MORE CHAPTERS TO GO!

Radioactive RCBG server terminology

When you're writing a story like this, there are going to be some bits and pieces you think of early on which end up not making it into the full thing. You're in the early stages, and haven't entirely figured out which parts will be important to the plot yet, and so you overestimate the need for some elements.

In this case, those elements were weird niche internet community jargon.

So let's have a look at some of the notes on absur...

RCBG Chapter 18 Title Reveal!

And as a bonus reveal, look who our first POV is!

How much do you enjoy watching the ScribbleHub readers experience the chapters' psychic agony on a delay?

Katherine ship wars

Let's do it. Let's see who you want Katherine to kiss.

This poll is multiple-choice because guess what? Both authors are poly.

Graph Update: Chapter 17 (SPOILERS!)

Hey again, Beth here! Chapter 17 had a few big new character dynamics, so it's time to update the graph.

Wow ok, so a lot has changed here. As you might remember, last chapter the graph had a completely different shape:

What happened? Well, th...

Chapter 17 of RCBG, 'Lategame Reclass', is out now!

At 11.6k words, this is the single biggest RCBG update so far!

And it's only likely to get longer, frankly.

As of RCBG chapter 16, who's LEAST in the wrong?

So ... Who is the REAL Main Character of RCBG?

Jeff omitted for obvious reasons.

Whatever that's supposed to mean ...

Character Graphs: Addressing the rapidly increasing complexity of RCBG

Hey everyone, Beth here. There's a growing issue with Ranked Competitive Breast Growth as we work on the series: There are a lot of characters. Eight entire PoV characters is more made up people than I have friends in real life! So let's do the only reasonable thing: Statistics.

...Eight is more than the number of friends I have in real life for a reason.

So! Let's proceed chapter by chapter, to avoid making this ...

Chapter 16 of RCBG, 'Bad Endings', is out now!

Not an ominous title at all, right?

With this chapter, Beth and Talia can confidently say that we're heading strong into act three, and book one of RCBG should be wrapped in nine chapters or less. We hope you're enjoying the absurd journey as much as we are!

Sicko Transbians: RCBG and the importance of bad representation (a short interview for "Lesbian With Teeth")

At some point within the last decade, queer artists (and, indeed, marginalized artists as a whole) were all conscripted into an informal, community-wide department of public relations. A silent consensus seemed to have been reached that in addition to any other metrics, queer art was first and foremost to be judged on the basis of the all-important question: is it good representation?

The criterion of ‘good representation’ w...

Our next bonus story will be 'Republican Competitive Ballot Growth'!

Thank you for voting, everyone! You can expect it sometime in July.

Chapter 15 of RCBG, "Friendly Fire", is out now!

Talia and Beth are happy to provide what everyone has been clamoring for: A return to the Accord server and an answer to the burning question "Hey, what's Melvin up to these days?"

Thank you once more to our Patrons and the dedicated fans of RCBG! Here's hoping that we don't break your hearts too hard with this one...

What bonus content would y'all like to see next month?

Given that the Viking Yuri/Lauremmy Prequel seems to have been received well, we would like to ask our readers if there was any premise in particular they'd like to read for next month's bonus story! (We would like to provide some bonus content on a monthly basis if at all possible, though we hope folks understand when we say we're not sure we can guarantee it every month, especially as we get closer to finishing up the first book!)

Viking Yuri Bonus Story: "I Only Read It For The Strategy"

Fun fact: This story is the single largest piece of RCBG we have ever uploaded, at just over 11,000 words!

In this prequel to mainline RCBG, Laura decides to close the gap between herself and her rival 'Izzy' via a brilliant, revolutionary new strat: Infiltrating a transfem DIY server and learning what they know about various HRT regimens! However, while carrying out her mission, a strange and out-of-place social channel catches her eye...

Your questions, answered! (Mostly)

Thank you everyone, for participating in our Q&A! We've done our best to answer your questions below.

Antinoe

Q1: Is the story happenning in a full on alternate universe or is it a uchrony? If the latter, what was the inflection point?

A1: Definitely one of those!

Q2: Is there a list of forbidden RCBG strats considered...

Author Q&A: Ask Beth and Talia about RCBG!

Hey everyone! We recently hit top 100 for the trans category on ScribbleHub and we couldn't be happier or more overjoyed at the overwhelming support from our readership. We're still working on the Viking Yuri bonus story as well as Chapter 15,...

Viking Yuri PREVIEW: The first 1600 words of our bonus story!

Hey everyone! We're working on a bonus story that explains ... sort of ... why RCBG's version of transfem culture has an oddly Norwientalist psychosexual fixation. For no particularly good reason other than bundle sale incentives and because we thought it'd be funny.

The introduction to this story is attached, and we're using a new export method for EPUBs to hopefully fix the formatting issues we've been having! Please enjoy. There is no...

Bonus Story Sneak Peek!

A list of possible server usernames for our planned story about the in-universe Viking yuri craze amongst online transfem communities :D

If any Patrons have a good suggestion or two, we might consider including it in the final draft!

Thank you to our Patrons for the overwhelming enthusiasm you've shown in supporting us! We hope to continue bringing you the very best, sexiest content we can dream up together.

Guessing Game: How Beth and Talia write RCBG

Hey everyone! Our readers have shown a keen interest in trying to figure which of us wrote which bits of RCBG, so we'd like to indulge that and also talk a little bit about our writing process.

Our first chapter together was actually Chapter 8, and it remains our least-blended chapter, with each of us mostly sticking to character's POV and lightly editing the other. This changed as early as 'Ovisaturation Any%', because building on each ...
