We're not dead! (Just to let you know) · 1:22pm Jul 28th, 2015
Greetings and salutations everyone,
First, let me humbly apologize to any and all of you for the lack of activity recently. School is taking up very much of our time and right now our main focus is the preliminary exams and our upcoming HSCs. To alleviate any confusion, we're based in Australia where the education system is different.
That does not mean we've stopped writing. It just means it limits our coordination. Fewer than five of us are able to be online at the same time to collaborate. As a result, several stories have been processed into the making. Allow me to elaborate.
Honour Bound, probably the best of us when it comes to writing, has his hands full with his personal story and You Seek Knowledge. On top of schoolwork, it's sad to say that he hasn't been able to get too much done. None of us blame him though.
For me, I've been noticing a distinct lack of good Elder Scrolls stories out there and I aim to fix that. A story centering around Alduin's return to Equestria and the temporal phenomenon known as the 'Dragon Break' will be released in the near future, hopefully.
Prior to but focusing around the time Fallout 4 was announced, we were all jumping for joy. We spent a good couple afternoons talking about our adventures in post-apocalyptic America and entertained the idea of writing a story about it. Dolores is on the case and with some help from Harrow Wing, Quetzal, Verity and myself, we've managed around 20k words.
Something you should know about our writing is that it's quite disjointed. If we had a motto here, it would be 'Inspiration Strikes!' because that's how we work. When we get a good idea, we write down as much as we can about it, plan it, set out the scene and build a series of events around it. When we get enough of these, we write a bit more to bridge the gap between pieces, smooth out the corners and that's how we do it.
It's a pain to actually finish a story, but in terms of progress it's been serving us well.
This has been your irregular update, I bid thee a good day.
Kind Regards,
Astral Star
