Short Update · 7:52am Jul 7th, 2018
Chapter's getting closer to done. Just hit nearly 7k. Not done yet due to me having a few more scenes but like I can see the end of the chapter. I can see three to four more large sections and maybe some shorter ones. I'm unsure about that but it might reach the dreaded 10k plus easily.
I'd love releasing these chapters faster but I kind of can't due to size but oh boy would I want to.
And for some reason I just noticed in my writing that my mind likes coming up with plots that involve slight torture. Hooray. And no I don't know why my stories keep having torture scenes in them. Hopefully that's not some unresolved unconscious thought or like just that the current bad guy in the story is being written without black and white morality. Which I can't like cut out cause my plot really is hinging on one major thing but like it's just my mind is now worrying about like the next two to three chapters.
Cause it's going to be a lot of probably horrible stuff but like it's for a really strange point.
An important point but like not a fun one. Pretty much the show shows a lot of times where the main characters win without much of a problem or consequences. I guess my mind really didn't like that interpretation of mine and well I feel like this might be a weird thing. Welcome to how there might be a win and all but there's going to be a lot of fallout. I just know that the next arc or two will probably sort of follow the show in some way cause I love Starlight, but writing this arc is depressing. I guess good depressing since I'm happy about the story, but like I need a pick me up at some point. And no, it's not going to be a tonal whiplash like the show at points, just a bittersweet feel. And return of some characters that haven't been seen in a while.
But yeah after this chapter there's like most likely two chapters left in this arc. I could go three but two seems better.
Just somehow. I'm probably going to add a content tag or two just cause well I've been debating about it. Probably will do that before I release this chapter in one to two weeks- most likely that's the release schedule since I have ideas still but weekends give me a lot of time currently to work on this. And yes, this would have meant that if I didn't have that week of no internet it'd have come out far sooner.
And I came up with an idea to keep Starlight around that I came up with when I introduced her so it continues to be definitely not a cookie cutter plot to the show.
I'm happy with the story but like I'm also happy I won't have to do a season opener or ender for a long while cause I like plotting them out far in advance. That's probably why I've been so worried about how this might come off cause the stuff I wanted in this chapter came about in my head almost six months or more ago.
I've been holding onto some weird stuff.
