I'm so sorry · 7:33pm Sep 28th, 2012
First up, an apology. I am putting Twilight's Voyage on hiatus. Sorry to everyone who was enjoying it. All 1 chapters of it.
But why, Prof? I hear you ask.
Because I just finished writing chapter 2, and I hated it. Not as in "damn this needs a serious edit" but as in "kill it with fire!"
3000 words and two weeks of effort, and I hate the result. The dialoge is stiff and uninspiring, I am trying to juggle the actions of 9 characters, some of whom I don't know that well, certain charcters have their characterisations all over the place, with no consistancy, I keep leaving secondary characters (spike, angel, the CMC's) out because I have too many characters already and last but not least, I have no idea where the plot is going.
Oh, and I also wrote Discord in both far too early and as "chaotic/neutral good" rather than "non-violent omnipotent asshole".
I began writing Twilight's Voyage as an exercise in world building, with no real focus on the plot. Well, I finished most of the world building at the end of the first "data file" chapter. With no well though out plot, the story is going nowhere. I have a few ideas for late game stuff, but nothing inbetween now and then.
So I need to sit down and have a big long think over where I want to take the story. And that means sticking it on hiatus for a while, and possibly rewriting the first chapter (although I might not and just leave it as is).
I am very sorry about this.
If you wish to read chapter 2 (against my advice), in all its horrible glory, I copy/pasted it into a google docs, however, I haven't formated it so its a little wall-of-texty.
My Little Evangelion should update before next week, asuming my proof-reader gets back to me, Temple of the Moon Queen is also close to an update, and Mystery (inc) will update before christmas. I am not realy feeling inspired on that one, but I am keeping it active regardless.
Twilight's Voyage on hiatus
but as long as you update the other stories, i'm ok with this
391811 Thanks for the understanding. I just need to sort out in my head where it is all going, and between all the stuff happening in my life at the moment, i don't know how long it will take. So rather than have you wonder at where the updates are, I thought I should just make a clear break to keep everything on the level.
