    Chapter 13 is out!

    That's right people, after far too long, I have finally updated ODaM. So go! Read! And enjooooy! Muahaha!

    In other story-related news, I'm making some progress on the next chapter already. No idea how long it's going to take, but I can only hope that it'll be up faster than this update was. :scootangel:

    Best.

    Long overdue writer update

    Hello people, this is Rakni with a writer update for Of Dragons and Mortals.

    Hope you people didn't think I was dead or anything! Though I'd forgive you for thinking that, given the lack of updates and stuff.

    My excuse? Family drama, personal stuff, a brief stint in the hospital, just... lots of stuff at once. It's been a busy and emotional couple of months.

    Writer update

    Rakni here with a writer update on Of Dragons and Mortals.

    Wow, I've been quiet for a while, haven't I? Problem is, I have had a lot of RL stuff to deal with, and I've struggled with motivation to write and all sorts of things. I haven't said anything because there isn't much to say.

    Until now.

    Chapter 12 is out!

    Against all odds, me and my editors managed to get the new chapter out. My IRL troubles haven't gone away or sorted themselves out yet, but sometimes you just want to write. I have a small announcement to make here, but if you'd prefer to get to reading, the information will be provided for you in the author's notes. It's nothing scary.

    Writer update

    Rakni here with a writer update.

    Unfortunately the news are not so good: I'm struggling with some pretty big RL issues at the moment and I can't find much time to write. Combine that with a case of writer's block, and I don't know when the next update is coming.

Writer update · 11:31pm May 27th, 2014

Rakni here with a writer update on Of Dragons and Mortals.

It's been almost two weeks since I last touched base, so here goes: Writing progress on the next chapter is going smoothly and I am making steady progress every day. Things are happening...

By the by, I know a few authors put out small snippets of upcoming chapters in blog posts. Teasers and the like. Is that something you readers would like to see, or would you prefer to remain unspoilered until the chapter is properly finished?

Anyway, here's what to take away from this post: I am still writing, and the next chapter is coming sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

I will do another post if/when something significant happens. See you then!

Best.

K well I am dying to read what happens next as i am sure many others are. But I would much rather have you take your time and keep up the high level of material i have come to enjoy from you. So take your time your work is more then worth the wait. (just please don't make it like a year or something :rainbowderp:) lol:rainbowlaugh::moustache:

In alot of stories I wouldn't mind reading some spoilers, but for some reason I just don't for yours. But that's just my two cents.

Don't spoil it.

Your chapters are pretty tightknit, ergo, I think it'd be best if you didn't give us snippets.

Agree with the others, spoilers bad!

yes Rakni, your story is so great that any and all spoilers would be a terrible temptation. You have a great story with incredible skill and talent. Plus you publish at a timely and good rate. We are more than willing to wait to see what comes next! :raritywink:

Yay for things and their happening!

I prefer to remain unspoilered.

The leader of the creed demands an update soon. Hashtag: join the creed.

I don't think I'll ever get used to receiving praise like this. Thanks:twilightblush:

It's almost touching, the way you're all in agreement about this. Makes me almost want to apologize for suggesting it in the first place:/

Anyway, message received. No snippets, no spoilers. Just chapters.

And on that note, I'll get back to work.

The problem with spoilers is that they are addicting, You become dependent on them, and then it goes downhill. Use them sparingly.

Sometimes it is better to let your audience site back and marinate over what they already have. Give them time to digest what has happened. Let us the chance to speculate on what happens next.

If you are using a spoiler though, be careful of what you use; sometimes your teaser gives too much away, especially if your readers can figure out ahead of time what will happen.


Overall, it's your call. Go with your gut.:ajsmug:
