This blog post has been a long time coming, I think, but it's something I've refused to even consider for... too long, really.
Totally minor thing, but I just noticed that I put 2.1 above the first Interlude. The chapters should now be in the correct order. Sorry about that.
I don't know for how long or by what absurd means, but I'm back! I'm going to be working mostly on OLH, though I've got a first draft (to be revised) of the last Letter to the Sun which I'll try to get out sometime after Finals Week ends. Not sure what I'm going to do with Postclassical, but hopefully I'll manage to finish that too.
As for why i'm back, I think I can safely put 50% of the credit on the glories of antidepressants, and the other half on THIS:
i think I've referred to this story a few times before, and since it's been such a huge influence on me in terms of my writing I thought I'd do a proper recommendation for it.
(Note: This is not fanfiction. This is an original story in an original universe. No ponies involved. Sorry if that's not your thing, but you really should branch out a bit more.)
Well, that took an unforgivably long time.
But yes the first Interlude chapter is out, and I can say with as much certainty as I ever have (read: not much) that I'll have the first part of episode 2 out within... let's say the summer.
But on a more serious note, yes, I actually just managed to put out two full chapters within a year of each other. That hasn't happened... in a very long time. Let's hope it snowballs, eh?
So since I've sort of become the "Homeworld guy" here on FimFiction (for what little that's worth) I thought I'd throw in my two cents about the remake, and my general impressions.

This is gonna piss some people off.
I really want to like this. I really do. And if I'd just played the HW2-based parts of the game... I really would have liked it. Unconditionally and completely.
But... they screwed some things up. Big time.

Sooooo... yeah. Actually, despite how that all sounds, I will have an update for you all sooner than later. Got a bunch of stuff done today (did you know you can read The Great Gatsby in a single morning?) so I'll probably actually have more time to write than usual. Plus, HW:R will keep me away from League and Warframe, which... should be self-explanatory, if you know what those are.
Just to prove that I can actually get shit done.

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up. It's Gearbox. We haven't seen much. We don't know what it's gonna look like finished...
BUT HOT DIGGIDY DAMMIT, I'm excited!
It's been a long road getting here, both in the literal and figurative senses. I don't like to ramble about my personal life—I feel work should be judged on its own merits, not on the trials that plagued its production—but this last year was a long string of chaos. I've written more this year than I ever have before, and though much of it never saw the light of day, I'm proud to say that OLH is back on track.
