Hey gang.
Hey gang.
Hey gang,
I’m really sorry about this, but this week’s chapter is going to be a day or two late. Im dealing with some major irl family drama and it has left me too emotionally wrung out to be able to properly give the chapter its final editing pass.
I am super sorry. I tried, but I just couldn’t brain enough to edit and revise to my normal standards and i dont want to oost a subpar chapter when its got important stuff in it.
Gonna try and give it that final pass tomorrow Or sunday.
Hey gang,
I put this in the most recent "Author's Note" but I figured I'd also add it here. Just sort of a fun thing.
I have some plans for the Friendship Games that may involve minor characters. A lot of minor and bit parts. And I can only fill so many of those with "Background Humans" of my own making or with ones from the show who exist as a name only.
But, my team and I talked about this a while back, and I thought it could be fun to open up the option to the readers...
So, Chapter for the week is going to be delayed because my writing partner/editor/lovely lady has covid and is not in any condition to do anything except sleep and eat. We were in the process of tweaking the chapter that was supposed to go up this week (to bridge the stuff we added with the things we already had written) when she fell ill, and I can't do this without her.
No cause for alarm folks. I know Rubicon's title has changed slightly, but that's me doing some formatting formally. Its always been broken down by arcs and Intermissions in my Scrivener, and Rubicon itself has always been two parts: Volume I, which is titled "Cross the Rubicon: Choices", and Volume II--"Cross the Rubicon: Consequences."
Likewise, the arcs and intermissions each have their own titles.
Arc I has always been tagged as "Redemption", and Arc II is "Shadow Rising".
It took a while, but we have two new chapters and an interlude that are brand new and part of the upcoming story that delves into some questions you guys asked!
It also added almost 20k words to the story so far, haha.
Provided nothing explodes during final editing, I’ll see you kids tomorrow night/Friday morning with the next chapter!
Hugs and cocoa from the Rubicon Crew!
Okay, my dearest readers....
So there's going to be a bit of a hiatus from chapters being posted for the next few weeks, as the absolute STORM of comments and speculation in the recent feedback has inadvertently spawned some...extra chapters and some minor edits and reshuffling. Something about it all set my editor/co-writer into a bit of a flurry of inspiration, and now we have....an interlude and two or three extra chapters to write and insert...
So, I've been debating this back and forth for a long while, since I know a lot of creative sorts do things like patreon or ko-fi or other donation things to let people toss them money here and there.
Hey cats and kittens,
Met my personal editing goal for the month, and now have about 10 months worth of weekly updates ready to go! So I'll pop the first one up on the 30th, for all you people who have been languishing and wondering if I died or gave up. :}
Hey gang!
Sorry for the long radio silence--its been a couple of hellish months here with all kinds of IRL drama: car problems and family issues suck. Being poor sucks more.
Anyway, enough about something I'm sure most of us can relate to, haha.
On to what I'm sure you're all reading this for.
Rubicon Updates.
So there is a new sidestory that has gone up, written by my lovely editor/co-creator/etc. Called A Fool's Reason Be Prejudice, it focuses on Glamour Shot, a character I know a lot of you loved during her appearance at the New Year's Party! This story explores her character and situation a bit, since she'll be making an appearance over in arc 2 of Rubicon as a minor character, and I really have to admit, she's
Mentioned I was gonna do one of these soon, so here it is. I know people are twitchy for the rest of the story.
So...Interesting update.
I promised yall a short story by my lovely editor/beta-reader/co-creator this week.
That one-shot has morphed into a small sidestory that will be more than one chapter, that will be a Rubicon sidestory. Bruhahaha. We just finished the prologue, and oh maaaaaan. I can't wait to see your reactions, cuz hoo boy, its a doozy.
Hey gang!
So still working on Rubicon--chugging along at a fairly decent pace. (Broke 400K words for the story last week, and am already closing the gap to 450K) In the meantime, as promised, I've got a few sidestories coming your way soon.
The first should be up--or it will be once the system drops it on the site officially. It's called "Uncertainty In Space and Time," and its a little different than the normal stories, but I felt it necessary to share this little gem for...reasons.
Hey gang.
Its taken a bit--life's been a bit hectic, because sweet merciful heavens 2020 can go fuck itself. So ready for it to not be 2020 anymore. Anyway, this is the long awaited post that roughs out timelines and talks about what stuff from Canon I'm keeping for Rubicon, and where I'm going "NERRP."
So, ended up distracted today with a bit of an idea, courtesy of a prompt in one of the Discord servers I'm in. An hour later, I had the 1000 word rough draft of a one-shot set in the Rubicon Universe. My editor and I are now in the process of hacking it apart and rebuilding it into something worthy of being posted here. The first two paragraphs have already transformed into almost a thousand words on their own, lol, so...its going to be quite a bit longer than it started, lol.
Hey again, ladies, gents, and fans of an indeterminable nature!
Hey gang. So since the comment responses were....unanimous in favor of World-building and lore blogs, I figured I'd start off with something small. In this case, I'm talking about the actual process of World Building, Lore, and How it all plays out to make the story you guys know and love.
