TL: DR version: Things are going well, have been doing a ton of work, but don't have much to show for it yet.

More details behind the cut.


So... bit mixed news.

I've barely touched the next chapter for a month now. 12450 words, 34 pages. Pretty much where it was last time I did one of these.

BUT, that's because I've hit the outline hard. Trying to make sure that when all is said and done, this Jackass stunt of a fan-fic lands on its feet in the end instead of on its face. That thing, 'Five last chapters, V2,' is currently 77 pages, and 19356 words. Written in a semi-scrip format as too let me 'prototype' things faster. An experiment that's so far worked really dang well, and is—admittedly to my eyes, showing some promise.

(Also, nearly done with my first draft of the Unicorn PI book I've mentioned! That one's a whooping 45451 words, over 165 (!) pages. :yay: Not even counting the whole heaping pile of notes. Very excited for it, and I hope it turns out well.)

(Also also, I've got the concept for another book I've been tapping away at. This one about the dragons coming back, via mass transformation/fusion/possession of humans. How would somebody react if they grew a prophet's caste mark one day, and a sizable scary group around you were adamant you need to follow that path? But, you know, in a form that's slightly more interesting and less likely to cause the resulting book to be burned in the streets. Currently very early, and sitting at 'only' 92 pages, and 24856 words.)

So... yeah.

Things are going pretty dang well, but I'm currently in that minor creative hell, wherein you're working like a demon but have next to nothing to show for it, because all your projects are these unassuming piles of parts on the workbenches that makes sense only to you.

Oh, and I also achieved Mun orbit in Kerbal Space Program for the first time. Recuse, clearly, my mind wasn't melting enough already. :pinkiecrazy:

Still, some of you have been pretty frustrated with my silence—and I fully understand that—, so I hope this blog is at least a tiny bit illuminating what I've been up to lately.

As always, thanks for your patience, and for reading. :twilightsmile:

Alas that one of my favorite stories is being written by a perfectionist, for now I must wait even longer for the promised spectacle!


All clowning aside, good to hear that you're still around.

I'll just keep waiting on the fic that'll never get finished. Alas poor SA, bumped back again by a newer, sexier fic.

Keep working on it i'll wait. In the mean time there is a really good ongoing Dresden Files Stargate fic to distract my self with as well as other things.

We've been waiting for Peace Talks for how long now? I think I can cut some slack to a fan-fic author.:yay:

Absolutely up for editing again, should it get that far.

Indeed. I am so happy one of the stories there is from Murphy's perspective.

There is also a few others.
Sailor moon. https://m.fanfiction.net/s/10336591/1/The-Senshi-Files-Silver-Warden-OLD-VERSION
Worm. Very spoilery for worm though. https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/of-wasps-and-wizards-worm-dresden-files-fusion.489542/

though I have to just ignore the fact that half the source material is hentai as a result.

There was a song of ice and fire one as well, but I cant find it.

But yea. Always need more dresden.

I was wondering what was going on with this story. Good to know that it wasn't given up on.

A Song of Ice and Fires that weren't my fault is the fic I think you're talking about.
Glad to hear this is alive, I can proofread if need be.
EDIT
As far as recommending Dresden fan fiction goes, I'm going to throw in Love Is All You Need to Destroy Your Enemies, in which Carlos Ramirez goes to Nightvale.

Yep, thats the one. And thanks for the rec. There is no sucnh thing as enough Dresden.

Thanks for the links, but I already read all of those multiple times and was there for the untimely death of Silver Warden. Also I think this https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/a-song-of-ice-and-fires-that-werent-all-my-fault-asoiaf-dresden-files.336499/ is the fic you were thinking of an this https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/high-hope-dresden-files-worm.726025/ is another Dresden Files/Worm fic only it focuses on Harry daughters.

Thank you for the blog update on your status. It is nice to know what you're working on and I am looking forward to your stuff.

Well, at least I'll have enough time to re-read what's here and refresh my memory. :derpytongue2:

That aside, I'm just glad this story is still on the back burner and hasn't fallen from the stove-top.

You could post half of that as a chapter ya know? My chapters sometimes are not even 1500 words long.

Just do a shorter chapter and publish something already.
