Not quite dead yet. But not far off either · 4:36pm Mar 2nd, 2023
Alright, it's been far too quiet from my side for far too long. Sorry about that.
I honestly did not intend for this to happen, and even wanted to publish at least one new chapter of Celestia's Side Trip some time ago. However, life has thrown me quite a curve ball, and unfortunately I have been damn ill for a good while now. At a point I wasn't even able to stand up for more than a minute just to go to the toilet. Fortunately things are improving, but I am also in and out of the hospital while the doctors are trying to figure out what is wrong with me, cause as of yet, no one has a clue.
Good times. yay
Anyhow. Being down like that has given me a chance to reread my work so far, and I must say I am amazed by some of the mistakes that slipped through during the final improvement of myself, and the editing after.
At one point the cafe where Danny works turns into a restaurant, and the eyes of Eclipse aren't really consistant either. Either orange glowing eyes with green iris, only for the pupils to be glowing green next time around. (it's supposed to be the iris that is green.) But by far the most embarresing error I found was during the early chapters of Silver Spirit in regards of the interference with the ghost scanners. They talk about this, and mention things about it possibly being caused by the magical field... while in the later chapters we have established that the scanners were already updated to make sure they don't even register the magical background and such.
I can not find a good excuse for why I made such a mistake as, at this point in time, I already had a properly established background I was working with. And such a big error is just inexcusable.
So I am planning, when able, to go back through these chapters and update them so these mistakes are no longer present.
As for the new chapters you might be waiting on. The next chapter of Celestia's side trip is curently shelved for the time being. It is mostly done, but right now with everything else going on I just need to take a breather from it. I've been staring at that one for so long now it is just laughing at me right now.
GoaP is coming along nicely. I've made some good progress over the last 2 weeks, and am quite pleased with what I have so far.
Silver Spirit however... well, not a lot has happened there, to be honest.
I really am trying to get things back on track, but right now I need to prioritize my health, which has taken a big hit. But at the least I can put this blog out there telling you guys what's what, and inform you that I haven't abandoned my fics.
I hope at least some of you guys are still there to see this, and hopefully I will be able to get some of my fics updated soon.

I'd say wait a bit longer
But I've only recently gotten back in the swing of things. Still have some stuff to sort out, and mistakes to fix. Looking back at it now, it's amazing just how much I messed up.
Get well soon.
get well soon and get plenty of rest to recover properly
Stay warm if there are any storms hitting you. Health takes time to get right.
So... after a couple of months... any luck?

Things are looking decent. I am working hard on fixing up ALL the previous chapters and get rid of the bigger mistakes I made over the years. Silver Spirit is pretty much done, and I am currently busy on chapter 16 of Guilt of a Phantom. Still have a good deal of work left to get things where I want them to be, but I'm getting there.

Editing is done, and I will upload the improved chapters with the next update. New chapter of GoaP is a good 10K, and the next chapter of SS is coming along nicely.
