There's no really easy way to say this, by my heart isn't in The Alchemist and the Mirror anymore.

The next chapter is almost complete. Just two scenes need to be completed, and then I can go on my edit run through it and then it should be live by midweek. It's another exposition-y chapter, and the one or two to follow will likely be slow chapters as well, but hey, the story is two thirds to three quarters finished by this point. Seeyas on the flipside.

So, as many of you are aware, back in March I released a status update for the twelfth chapter of the Alchemist and the Mirror. During that update, I pointed out that the chapter was sitting at 2.3k words and that I'd completed the first section. A lot of stuff came up in life to derail my writing train since then. Student loan applications, twelve month anniversary check-up for my transition [Hormonally, I'm a normal woman as of last blood work!], summer heat, and a number of small mental

Sorry about the long break. Distractions, distractions, distractions. You know how it goes. Video games, anime, etc. You know that whole shiz by now. That's not what y'all care about though. You want to know about chapter status, right?

Yeah yeah. Seven's a lazy writer. Why you no write but play game, and whatnot, right?

As I said when I shared the poll, I would be making my decision based on the results today. After playing some spooky scary Alien: Isolation this morning, I decided to look at the poll results.

I've had a great idea for what kind of person Silver Script's human world counterpart is.

So I am currently in the process of working on the eleventh chapter of the Alchemist and the Mirror, and I have a number of ideas in mind for how the next few chapters will play out. That being said, I can only choose one or two of them. For that reason, I've decided to do a poll.

The next chapter is around one third to half-way done, and if I can get as good a head of steam tomorrow as I had today, I could have Chapter 10 out as soon as the weekend.

Just a heads up that I finished the next chapter this morning, and am presently going over it in my own editing pass, as DarkxRedemption has gone radio-silent. A decent length chapter, and whoever's been working the TVTropes article for the Alchemist in the Mirror is going to want to get their fingers and their trope comb ready.

Good news and bad news time, peeps.

Good news:
>I am still alive.
>I am still working on Chapter 7 of The Alchemist and the Mirror.
>There will be booze and awkward situations.
>I really like Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War - Soulstorm.
>I plan to have the next chapter out before Monday.

Bad news:

So, I recently found my way back onto the TV Tropes page for When a Pony Calls, and found that The Alchemist's Heart now has its own page, which is currently being shared with its sequel, the Alchemist and the Mirror. All in all, I'm very pleased to see it has a TV Tropes article. Sure, at some point, it should probably be gone over for grammar/spelling in spots, but it's definitely enjoyable. That said, I'm confused

Hey guys, just a little update from your favorite asshole writer. The next chapter is finished, and it looks like by my calculations it's going to come out to around seven thousand words according to FIMFiction. It just has to pass through Dark's approval, and then I'll be putting it up.

So yeah, finished the third chapter today, DarkxRedemption is currently busy or otherwise unable to get to chapters 2 and 3 at this time. Would you all rather I do two edit runs on them and post them before DxR goes over them for now, or wait an extra bit longer?

Still no news from my editor on chapter 2. That said, I've got chapter 3 in the works now as well. Likely to be finished that either today or tomorrow. In chapter 3, you finally get to hear Silver Script explain 'perpendicular dimensions' in comparison to parallel ones. For buillshit I made up, it actually kinda makes sense. Hype get?

On an unrelated note, I watched this this morning:

Next chapter is finished and pending editing. Depending on when DarkxRedemption can get to it commenting/suggesting changes, and when I have an opportunity to tend to any changes—I have an appointment that will have me on two hour bus rides each way tomorrow—the chapter could be up as early as tomorrow night.
