    This chapter is driving me absolutely crazy

    I know I said that the next chapter was almost done, but after stepping away for a bit to deal with IRL stuff and then coming back, I found that I didn’t like where the story was going. So I scrapped a good 1k of it or so, maybe 2k, and re did it. Then I did so again, and again, and again, and again, and so on. Happened with long stretches of paragraphs and short sentences alike. No words were

    Proof that I'm alive and working!

    Hey guys, sorry it's taking so long to get the next chapter out. I won't bore you with IRL issues because everyone has them, but rather the reason is that I've had to rewrite and restart this thing multiple times. I want the best for you guys and I want this jenga-sudoku-crossword clusterfuck to stay stable and sane. I am slowly hacking away at it; getting short bursts of words out at a time

    Getting off my lazy ass

    Alright, new story is pending approval as I write this and I’m going to have some free time after my test in a couple hours. Figure now is as good a time as any to get back to work. That being said, I have a lot of unpublished and unfinished stuff and it’s hard to choose between them to finish. So like I said before, I’m going to do a strawpoll on some of the ones I feel like working on

    Why I haven't done jack shit in forever.

    I swear to you that I actually have a story that's mostly ready for publishing (2 chapters mostly done with one left to go). Shakespearicles can testify for me. As for why I haven't published it on Mother's day like I had promised myself.... let's just say I kinda got into a train-plane-ship-car wreck that fell from orbit onto my unsuspecting ass. (That's half true as many of the

    Post-April Fool's Serious Update

    For those of you who didn't get yesterday's joke, don't worry because I'm not going to change up HLW again. It was hard enough the first time. That being said, I feel like I owe you all some information on my current progress. Last few weeks was an absolute dildo to my writing progress (My "spring break" wasn't much of a break and I just got done with 4 tests over the past two weeks). The Ember

Progress update · 7:58pm Jun 21st, 2015

Heyo! So I just wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's happened the past few weeks regarding HLW, because I feel like it should be said.

Okay, so in the first week of June, my trusty sidekick editor happy now? Jeez. lol. and I went through the first arc of the story to find what needed to be changed. HOLY SHIT did we find things to be improved. There are a massive knots that would have certainly fucked me and the story up way later down the line, which is why I'm rewriting it now when i have fewer chapters. I believe one chapter almost has to be rewritten entirely.

Anyways, I set all that stuff up to work on it later (because I just got the XCOM bundle and it's fucking fun as hell) during a long family vacation I just finished. I brought on the vacation a couple writing guide books to read, hoping they might help a bit and boy, did they ever.

I learned a lot about building characters, heroes and villains and supports, that it greatly affected the story. Black Widow has become much more threatening and i haven't even rewritten her parts yet. Chrysalis is certainly more confident than before and the royal couple has had a few tweaks and changes here and there. As I was rather busy on my vacation with sightseeing and relaxing, I only got through about half of the edits for the first chapter, but I still feel like i made leaps and bounds by working on the characters first.

With the way things are going, i may have to delete the original chapter and publish the new ones. I'll still keep the originals linked in the chap for those who want to see it. I should hope to get more done soon...maybe...okay, so i bought some new games on steam. sue me, it was a huge sale.

what's that about xcom? you playing longwar?....

3175695 let me get used to the game first. I intend to play the original the first time then with EW the second and long war for third

3178316 i would recommend just skipping to the mods , apparently vanilla really sucks compared to them , i only played through on vanilla though and now im sad from having done so after hearing about how much better the game is with the mods......

3178521 oh I'm sure it's better with the mods since I did mod my skyrim game. It's just that I want to know how shit works. I had to start a new game shortly after my first one because I made terrible mistakes and only had mostly rookies against cyber disks and berserkers that just started to pop up. I appreciate the advice but I'll go at my pace. Especially since I haven't played a super tactical game like this before.

3178583 oh i see heh.....
