Life!
Well now that that explanation is out of the way, this post simply exists as a reaffirmation to commit a little to the site and writing in general. Just like the previous post, I can say I never gave up on it, it was just... scattered; both in frequency and in aim. So I expect a lot of new pages/entries in the Other section popping in without warning! (Surely one of these days I'll get around to fleshing out a second whole volume of a title, even if it still needs plenty of rewrites like the first.)

Making any headway on listed projects or site-updates has not occurred.
Quite sad, really! However, it is not like nothing at all was written by me... merely... New Stuff. For some reason, yet again, two new projects surfaced in my mind's panoramic eye. And, as usual, whenever creativity struck, it forced more ideas on the newer things rather than the older. Ideas are exciting. They promote a sort of mental energy. That bubbly energy led me to spend occasional efforts to propagate the ideas into a fair go at a couple stories that I'm pretty eager to continue developing. Perhaps a little sooner than a month, but that's a good thing.
* Some minor/trivial behind the scenes things. Why even mention that little? Because MYSTERY! * Caught up Birthright to its current "relatively safe from being heavily rewritten" point. * Added in the pages for LotS, as well as the first few chapters (only small to be on the safe side, because of already expected reworks of many sections). And as a final note to self - remember to actually post these drafts on intended days, for Vaex's sake. I suppose a monthly-ish update schedule is likely, for the time being. Story content addition will be a little thinner this time (a lot of the before was just mass copy-pasting pre-stored content).
* Reorganized a few stories previously placed into Other to 'The Unseated Nightmare' category. * Added in the Side: Exulari for Part 1 of 'The Overwhelming Grandt Noata'. Also added the first chapter for Part 2. In lieu of as many words as before (which to be honest would be a hard to sustain amount if I'm throwing out 50k edited words at a time!), I've instead worked a little on art; placing some more images here and there for stories. I probably won't make very many direct progress posts about adding those on this site in the near future, unless I stockpile a bunch at a time before uploading them. They'll just appear when I feel like it~ I'm quite aware I'm much more of a dialogue heavy writer than the repeated descriptive type - so keeping in mind what a character looks like, for instance, could be hard for a reader. Thankfully, I'm an amateur enough artist to get my mental images halfway there for your viewing (dis)pleasure! Slowed down again! I blame games and work. Oh, and shows of course. Reading too. So enjoy a look at a character from one of the stories mentioned in this post! Eh? Which? Like I'd reveal that... This rightfully should have been able to be posted a week ago, but I got busy when on the tail-end of finishing up what I wanted to do for this update. Added small amounts of Other stories, including: Project:Vision - (to [New Moon Mists]) Suspicion - (to chapter S-3) Shadowstar - (to chapter Anama Nubel) Making Her Real - (to chapter Bloody Mansion) Knight-king of Victis - (to chapter 3) Shard - (to 'Noncombatants') Clearly the parentheses mean little to anyone before reading... or maybe even after! But I included this minor detail for my own future benefit - to see just how much of what I released and when. Most are barely in progress as of this point, but at least a few have a fair bit more than has been posted right now! Took a long hiatus for no reason! If only it was all such peaceful sleeping~ With just a little bit more effort, I've now finished formatting into the site all of 'Part 1' of The Overwhelming Grandt Noata. Future readers, rejoice! (I'll just imagine you are, don't worry.) The Side will make its debut once it is fully complete.
Luminesce 'Book 1' is next on the agenda, with some of it already in place. Seven Day's War shall also have its first few chapters up at the time of this posting. As well as Birthright. It's quite the spread, I know. Samples and excerpts of even more stories to come~ Furthermore, I hope to soon conceive a side-hover navigation that functions independently within each work's text... for those that might like to easily jump around the chapters while reading without going back to the project page. Should be fun - for me. Hopefully useful - for you. A commemorative post just to mark the day I started the site. A few adjustments here, a few uploads there, and I ended up with something I wasn't too ashamed of.
The worst part of it all was adjusting the formatting in the chapters I added. Shuffling it over kills all the Italics - and I also had to 'self-indent' each paragraph line. Perhaps I'll discover a way to make this simpler in the future! After all, it kept Bold fine. One can only hope, eh? |
