...to follow the negative ones. Some updates on riffs and Death Wish!
Pony riffs: I don't believe I've mentioned it there, but since I last reported it, twow and I have made progress on Episode 6! Not too much, we're a ways into chapter 2, but it's more than we've made in the month or two before! Now that school's out, I look forward to working on finishing it this January. I'd like to get on it immediately, but I'm making presents for my family this Christmas so I'll be busy doing that on the days leading up to it. There are otherwise no pony riffs in progress, since I want to finish Episode 6. Once it's done, I'll release it and 7 simultaneously (though it's up to twow when he wants to release 6 on his series). After that, while I'm anticipating Starlight-Part 4 for rather self-centered reasons, I want to give twow a little more buffer time on whether or not he wants to continue it, so I'll probably hit up the RiffList again.
Main riffs: Episode 8 was released recently; if you're over 18 (since the story's NSFW), I'd love if you'd check it out. I'm currently working on Episode 9, which is much shorter but I'm struggling for fun points a little... It's another 18+ story, to be clear, if not as horribly blatantly so as Episode 8's. I think I need a story after this that has its grammar ducks in a row, because I think I worked better when I was dissing at the ideas and not the presentation.
Death Wish: I think I'll make that coloring official. I recently got the typeface I want to use for making a real logo for making a proper cover for this fic. Does anyone know where to find an image of the Ghost Trick logo in white text with a transparent background? Or at least a PNG? Preferably English, but I'm cool with the Japanese one too. On the story itself, I'm on the last segment of the 4 Minutes, but it's a tricky twist of fate to figure out. When writing these, I've found I often have to hop back up the main descriptive body for the scene to readd the details I need, which, I'll be honest, I'm not entirely used to. I've done it before with a few reinserted riff lines during a reread, but not a lot. I'm just glad I managed to make that push past the first part of the 4 Minutes. I want to finish and publish Chapter 2 by the end of the year, or failing that the end of January, so we'll see how it flows. I hope you all consider the wait worth it, and look forward to the next step of Sissel's adventure!
Y'know, I think I read somewhere that the night that Ghost Trick takes place during is Christmas Eve. At the very least it's sometime in December. Since I doubt I'll post again by the 25th, a merry Christmas to you all! Or whatever it is you celebrate. It really doesn't matter to me. Merry days!
