Art is of value only if it has fans, but no art is popular if the artist isn't great. Value tje artist, the art will come, its not owed to anybody but he himself.
Seriously? Millionaire? Not even close. Otherwise we'd have many more millionaires in the world. You also have to consider he's likely using at least some of that money too. It's not just sitting there untouched unless he's living off other sources of money.

Oldsjohnson442, it has never taken 3 months... We've had a few occasions where we've hit 2 months, but the average time between each chapter used to be in the weeks (days even for earlier times). (please see listing of chapters for dates)
*crossing my fingers* Here's hoping Teffler will put out 2 chapters here instead of 1, to get us back into the "only 2 chapters behind paying fans" policy
Tefler owes you NOTHING. If he chooses to stop posting here that's his right. If he wants to make the story something everyone has to pay to read, you guessed it, he has the right. I'm grateful he still continues to post here at all, and don't think he'll stop. That said, if he did stop posting here i'd still appreciate every chapter he did realese for FREE here. Stop being so self entitled and just enjoy what you do get.

3900+ patrons and growing...
136 chapters * $5000 average = 680,000 $
TSM Ebooks sales extra $$
That is the maths.
I absolutely agree Tefler's work is worth paying for, but I find Patreon irritatingly unusable.
I have bought the ebook versions he's put out on Amazon (they just didn't go far).
What Tefler is doing here is art. And Tefler is damn good at it. The fact that we get even a little glimpse into this world for free is beyond generous. Thank you Tefler for everything that you do, your storytelling is fantastic.
Patrons pay $1/chapter going forward from when they join. But this series hasn’t been on Patreon from the beginning. And the number of patrons has grown over time. So it’s false to multiply the total current number of chapters by the total current number of patrons.
Thanks Tef for sharing your tale with all of us deadbeats and whiners!
Never cease to be amazed at the grossly superfluous and stupid “comments” of some readers. Hope Tefler understands that the vast majority of readers just so appreciate the great enjoyment of his work in this epic.
We go thru this little dog and pony show every chapter. Guys he will post it when he post it. I am sure he is smart enough to know he will make more money keeping all his followers happy. Being on a fixed income, I will can not and will not pay to read unfinished works, when he has the whole first book complete I will look at buying it on Amazon and I am sure others will too.
As long as he is posting at least once a month I am happy. I am also sure he knows if it gets to be to long between chapters he will start losing followers. Give Tefler some credit. He has to be pretty smart to write the great story he has.
I hope and wish Tefler earns at least Three $ Million :: T$M saga.
His storytelling is superb, captivating, fascinating and gripping.
I think he must have written at least 4 million words so far... 30K per chapter.
I for sure will buy his eBook collection after TSM saga concludes.
Tefler,
I don't know if you even read all seventy-something comments every chapter. After all, we're not paying patreons.
However, I wanted to say that I consider TSM a wonderful story, fully worthy of being purchased. That said (and I know the first 4 books are on Amazon), I want to wait to buy the books until the anthology's out; so that the covers all match up. What can I say? I'm an OCD collector type.
Please continue to post as you are and, once the Saga (yes, deliberate capital) is complete, please do let us know when it goes up on Amazon in it's entirety. Or if you've got some independent publishing going by then, I'll purchase direct if I can find it!
Yours faithfully,
a fan
In the future, one complaint equals one spoiler
I have said before - if you're going to be rude, at least have the balls to not be anonymous.
I'm going to make a complaint... It's been so dang hot this weekend!
Okay, now please follow up on your promise. =)
Yours truly,
Bottom Feeder #1 <---- correct spelling over there
Has anyone noticed that many of the comments are repeats of comments from other chapters? LoL, we need something else to discuss.
I've never seen these conversations here. Maybe they're on patreon/discord.
My favorite lioness is either Sakura or Rachel. And it's not because of their body shape, LoL!
I just like their personalities. Dana is a bit foul mouthed, though I like the nurse and school cosplay she does. Alyssa... I wouldn't fully trust, even from John's perspective. Calera's not bad. She'd be #3 behind Sakura/Rachel. I haven't fully thought of the others yet.
For the last several dozen chapters, I've wondered why there was never a Lionesses of African descent. We have blue and green girls... We don't have the full rainbow!
To a lesser extent, I've also wondered about Native Americans/Island natives as I see them as different colored but that is my opinion.
We missing any other significant human colors?
(No, I'm not racist. I'm a completionist, LoL.)
First things first. I love this story.
The colors of the rainbow. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
So if you count the colors the nymphs turn when changing( the haze that surounds them) with the skin tones of the girls, he has kind of got it. But to add more colors, he would have to add more people. I think i agree with majority of commentors, on this subject, he has enough already. I have no doubt he will get the brimordian (might be spelled right) nymph. But if he adds more, they will start to lose people in the storyline. If people have to go back to reread a section(or two) to find out who someone is, its too many. I find myself at times having to stop reading to try to remember which nymph is which.
Just my opinion on it,
Buddy
As much as I’m dying for a new chapter the wait won’t kill me. At least I know there are more chapters coming unlike many stories that simply die on this site and leave you craving an ending. And as for the freeloaders vs patrons shame on you people some times that last dollar is spent on a meal for a child or enough gas just to make it to the next check. Mean while they are using this story as a wonderful momentary escape from our crappy reality as of late.
LoL, I know black isn't part of the rainbow spectrum. I just wanted a word to describe a lot of colors.
I agree that the crew is pretty numerous now. However, I only have problems differentiating the nymphs as they don't stand out from each other that much and they mostly joined at the same time.
I also have trouble differentiating the Malari Matriarchs for the same reason.
Tefler has only planned to put out 6 chapters here for this year. Next year will be even fewer with only 4 posted here. I'll be back in January for chapter 132.
At worse: Jealous Troll w/ misinformation
At best: Exaggeration
Made me LoL though so not totally useless.
So some anon allegedly has the skinny on Tefler’s publishing plans? Tefler has been upfront with all of us here, so I’d believe it from him but not from some anon. Tell us the source of your knowledge, and put your name on it. Tefler commented recently that Chap 132 would be posted soon. But please, idiot anon, keep your word and don’t come back until January, we don’t need your idiocy stirring the pot.
Thanks again Tefler, we love what you’re doing! Thanks for continuing to post here, many of us have been following for years now!

When is Dana going to find out that Commander
Thomas Walker is her brother? Will they be full
siblings? A lot to be disclosed.
If that's true then credit card requirement to get access on Patreon sucks 10x more than before.
The writing is on the wall for the ones to see it, Tefler is following in his dearest friend Etaski's footsteps in abandoning us.
If you don't believe me here's the signs you lot don't want to see. Anonymous comments (I believe from Tefler himself) about his father being sick. Tefler NEVER commented on the inquiries. Anonymous mentioning of how often chapters are being posted on patreon, the money greedy site and mentioning that it only cost a dollar, (also believed to be posted by Tefler himself).
Then a message by Tefler that he's on holiday for a few days more then post on here after he just posted on patreon the money grabbing site.
The biggest sign is the fact that Tefler's word that we will only be 2 chapters behind patreon means nothing, see how far we're behind?
I know and understand it's his work and can do what he want but don't try and rope everybody into a money grabbing game, you WILL lose all the votes on this site eventually as you're driving away your fans, I've accepted already that we will not see the end of TSM on Lit. It was supposed to be only around 150 chapters anyways until he roped so many fans into giving him free money and now he's dragging it out for more money.
Don't even bother trying to send me insults, I MIGHT be back next year to see if TSM is still going. I'm out of here, I've supported him long enough as a fanto not be respected by honesty.
See you in January. By then Tefler will have probably posted at least 3 more here.
The anonymous claim that we've seen the last chapter for the year isn't consistent with a comment by Tefler a little earlier.
Clearly we should accept Tefler's word.
He has the right to change his policy of course, but like (I believe) 100% of the honest fans here, I hope he doesn't.
Seriously weird to be spouting conspiracy level bollocks like that. The guy can post (or not) whenever he wants. He could also stop posting on here entirely and I could then chose to either go patreon or just move on to something else.
Either way, have a great few months off, you muppet.
Anon (or apparently Tefler)
Complaining is easy, saying that you should do this or that is easy, I don't see any of those who complain say I have a published story, creating a story is not easy and I believe that an author should be able to live off his art, unfortunately I live in Venezuela, a country that lives at the rate of the dollar but I, as a citizen, cannot have an account in dollars and I cannot collaborate with the patreon, although I would like to do so to encourage the author. so I can only read your stories when you publish them on this page, I have no other option even if I wanted to, therefore I appreciate the publication on that page thank you tefler from alirio ordaz
Harddaysknight's did the same thing in its Lady in Red 3 Part Series. each part got shorter and shorter. As i started trolling about the next chapter 24 days ago not rating another chapter. 1 would think that Tefler would have come on that stopped the trolling but he didn't, and then 12 days posted about another drop and still haven't dropped it. if ANYTHING he needs to play catch up on here but I don't think that will happen... As for the Anonymous people get some balls and put your name on a post. Until that time shut the hell up. Bitching an moaning about something without a name should mean nothing without a name to get back to you being bitch back. the funny thing is that puttnig A name to your BITCHING means nothing because that name doesn't mean a thing on here. its just a source to a name. Anonymous mean you have no guts, no glory for being right or wrong, and NO soap box to bitch from. and now i will get off my soap box.... que in the next person WITH a NAME besides ANONYMOUS!!!
Because BlackWolfDra is instantly recognizable as a real name and in no way anonymous....
For those of us waiting on chapter 132, TJSkywind has uploaded another chapter of Starlight Gleaming which should be posted soon. TSM is better in my opinion but SG is not bad.
I've submitted chapter 132 for moderation. Hopefully it should be up in a couple of days.
Tefler
60 pages in one chapter read that then come back and complain
Again I thank you 🙏 for a great written story that is capturing my imagination
When is John going to meet the Drakkar Podmothers
and undo Mael'nerak's genetic tampering with their
DNA? What role will the Drakkar play in the coming
Progenitor war?
This submission is awaiting moderator's approval
Then it will be accessible for browsing
Hopefully it will post tonight. Stories usually post about 0800 Greenwich.
Thank you Tefler for not abandoning us, despite the ungrateful idiots who can’t stop bitching! There are so many of us who truly appreciate your generosity and are hooked on your wonderful story.
HillCountryCowboy
It is a proven fact that once a chapter passes 200 comments and 30,000 views the next chapter will be available so please have patience and wait until October 17ish
Your's truly not telfler *wink *wink
Mate, I've been hooked since episode 1. It's one of the few treasures in Life that I now look forward to. Thanks a million,
Some or many (I'm not entirely sure) shorten Literotica to Lit. There's another website out there for posting stories like this one. It's called stories online dot com and it gets shortened to SOL all the time. After awhile the commenters here managed to convince Tefler to post here and SOL plus there's his patreon.
Willjam from 4 months earlier is dead-on correct, TSM and Tefler are treasures! TTFN
This one is the BEST. Period Dot. Tefler is amazing with the twists and depth of the story line. I also have been here for a long time But I was not here at the start. BUT, I eagerly await the long away end. Well Done Sir, Well Done.
Re: prophet58
I have been long wondering if or when they will make an appearance in the storyline.
Can't wait to see how that plot plays out.
My father was a amateur photographer who had his own darkroom to develop film and print pictures,.. he had a red light to give him some vision while printing pictures,.. Has Tefler ever clued us in on the 'why' of the Progenitor's love of black surfaces and red lighting? ;-) TTFN
I had a random thought sneak up on me while reading about John giving his pregnant broodmares a bit of psychic cum during their 9 months of baby building to insure mother and child's good health,.. now with no medical back ground, and working with what I think Tefler has written concerning John's (Progenitor) nearly magical 'quad' elixir,.. my thought was: "what effect(s) will this has on the baby?,.. good or bad?" John does a reset on the girls that promises them Immortality and perfect health,.. would this keep resetting the baby, preventing a normal 9 months ( much longer if reset a number of times) gestation period?,.. would this have any effect on the baby? yes, no,.. maybe? thoughts,.. I know John's intensions are good, but please have Tef check with Doctor Rachel,.. have her double check the first Maliri baby's, before and after John shares with the young Matriarchs,.. am I worrying too much? Or might their baby bumps suddenly disappear,.. shock!,.. and if they can't keep John away from them,.. a multi-year pregnancy might happen?,.. ;-) TTFN
I really wish John would stop being a fucking ass to his mother. I mean he fucking knows that she is brainwashed!!
Many / most humans tend to lash out at others when they are hurting emotionally,... and especially they wish to strike back at those causing their hurting, actual / accurate or not. John was raised as a human, and despite his Progenitor roots, he seems to react / feel / cope with situations pretty much as would a 100% true human,... poor guy,... It might be a cold day in hell before he can forgive his parents,... (-: TTFN
Thats a good question Michael56Smith.
I have also wondered what effect that will have on the babies. I don't think it would make the baby stay a baby. From what I understand, it resets the person to the generic thrall template. So in theory it would mean they would all look the same. I just wonder about the age....... Everyone that John has gave the "gift" to, that is older than the set age, has returned to about the same age. What would happen when they absorb his seed through the mom while she is pregnant? Could the baby get older and instantly, or almost, get to be an adult? I know with the Lynette he was trying to restore her youth, but not with the twins. So, it's safe to say some of it is subconscious....... John is going to be upset if his 'kids' are born an adult. well adult body at least. If this is something that he can control, let's hope Rachel thinks of it before it happens.
Just my thoughts and opinions.
Raven
P.S. Didn't John and Alyssa have something important to talk to Lynette about? Like the outer rim situation? Maybe Alyssa told her mentally.
* John is reacting like a weak human child with his mother - by emotion and not logic. She could not control herself. Yet, he does not listen. If he could someway get his father as an ally and pilot of the proginitor dreadnought, then they would together be a formidable force against other progenitors. * John has a problem with his soldier's discipline. In a previous chapter, Alyssa had a panic attack and was a life-drain threat to the other monarchs and a risk to the Invictus as she blasted a hole through the progenitor shuttle. Now, Jade, who had went maverick before, charges a mansion to rescue her sister - without any orders. What, did she not trust John to organize that rescue? What if falling debris had struck and killed one of the people shrouded in white?
Daphne: already doing 'Faye' like things, but without the 12 avatars. And she doesn't want to be a 'real' girl to be with John. She may just end up being the type of AI that the T-Fed's were hoping to develop with their failed Nexus programs, ... if not very military as yet, ... I can see a version of her being aboard the 'Fernandez' family cruiser (should John choose to gift the Commadore with one), ... and maybe another one for Charlies (an Invictus II ?), ... ;-) TTFN
And what was Abigail Voss's maiden name? I don't think it was mentioned in this chapter, ... ;-) TTFN
I love people who post flaming bags of refuse like this comment, because they are full of just as much shit as their insulting troll posts are. If you hated the story and thought it should be done at chapter 50 at most, you wouldn't have read the intervening 81 chapters.
The fact that you spewing this cancerous ad-hominem on chapter 131 and not chapter 50 severely undermines anything you have to say. I bet you really like the story. No one who truly hated the story would continue to waste time on it for so long, unless your sole purpose in life is to expose yourself to things you hate, in which case you should seriously stop it and get some help.
I sincerely wish you had fucked off reading this story back after chapter 50, then maybe your ire and bile would've been a little more believable.
Here's to hoping you'll fuck off now.
PS. Don't listen to any of the haters, Tef. Just keep telling your story the way you want to.

Being part of the family Lynette and Charles should of been at the wedding
... mayhem at the Merkey Masion, ... Ailita's rescue from those 'bad' people, .... the bubble-gum topped nymph found her perfect master (Yay!) .... and then after car deliveries and weddings, .... now the sh*t hits the fan, ... oh boy! .... real space battle action coming up, ... ;-) TTFN
Another nymph rescued and at least one more for John to find and rescue, will it be the next instalment. 5⛤
Space, the final fronter, Tef (bad) quote: -- "I'm laying in a course for Ross 248. It's so close by that it's not worth attempting to slingshot around Terra, even if it wasn't for all the traffic." I do not believe she meant to imply that she might use her speed-pick-me-up to slingshot around a planet (at least not one smaller than Jupiter), ... to fix it Tef should instead of the word 'Terra' use 'Sol', ... or change 'Terra' to 'the Terra System', ... either one would work, ... ;-) TTFN
I don't understand why his girls didn't tell him about Jessica's reactions once her mind was freed of his father's restraints. They heard her cry about her regrets, etc.
Yeah, ... why weren't Charles and Lynette at the wedding? Just because Lina wasn't invited doesn't mean they need to not go either, ... they could just slip on their uniforms, .... And what a dark and gloomy place around Ross 248, that is just so depressing for a world humans can live on, ... is it all lighted up like a 24/7 Las Vagas? ... Anyway, I hope more 'bad' people do not step up to fill the shoes of that horrible family, ... they need some good folks in charge, .... and the pink topped Nymph has definite possibilities, ... ;-) ttfn
Slingshot assits using Earth have been used frequently by numerous spacecraft. Check out />
Hey there Anonymous, regards Terra and slingshot maneuver: I was just bothered by Tef, once again, not really understanding space, and also in this case his writings were not consistent with his own story's continuity, ... I know that the relatively smaller worlds of Earth and Venus have been often used for sling-shoting our primitive 20th and 21st century space probes, but I am assuming that Alyssa was referring to her own, sling-shoting close around a Star / Sun to boost their speed maneuver, ... a big difference in scale, .... ;-) ttfn
its wild how tefler positioned johnnette's morals, as a load stone, that holds him back. the source of denial, that make him take the view of how things should be, while ignoring things as they are.. he is making terrible mistakes, ignoring the needs and desires of the girls, while making fear based decisions.. smh, and now he is messing with sakura with out her input or consent.. in secret too! because he knows the girls would oppose his choice. he doesnt trust them, he doesnt trust himself.. he still reacting like a wounded scared little boy.. not a grown ass man. his powers just amplify his weakness that he uses to define himself.
It's disappointing that Alyssa isn't telling John about the change in his mother. Also, he should recognize that Jessica is reaching out to him and just listen.
yay, they got Abigil married and rescued Ailita, a pretty good chapter, ... ;-) ttfn
I'm pleased to see Tefler's first accurate description of a red dwarf, but why would the planet be gloomy?
The habitable zone of red dwarfs is really close to the star - often, a year would be shorter than an Earth day, and it's thought most such planets, at least by the time they've cooled down after formation, would be tidally locked - always presenting the same hemisphere to the star.
So no-one would willingly build a house on the night side, but in the twilight or day side, unless the radiation was too high, though this would likely strip the atmosphere in this case. The daylight would be distinctly orange or red, as the star isn't hot enough to emit light in the blue and perhaps green wavelengths. The Sun is ~5400 Kelvin, a red dwarf would be around 2-3000 Kelvin, a scale also used for camera white balance and lighting.
This was recently depicted in Dune 2 on the Harkonnen homeworld, filming the whole thing in infrared. It appeared in monochrome, as there wouldn't be much of a colour palette if this were authentic.
