Set Sail Updated · 2:49am Sep 30th, 2019
The updated version of set sail is now live. It doesn't shake up too much that it would require a reread, but it could be interesting to go back and see the changes.
The biggest change, compared to the original, is Arctic's interaction with the Queen. Before, he was fearful and seemingly clueless, now he's much more confident and a bit bold, which I feel fits him better.
Another change, which may appear a bit more subtle, is the informal type culture that's present in Shunuie's hive. Basically, everyone in the hive views each other as a form of extended family (even the Queen is viewed as a mother figure). As such, even if they've never met, they will treat each other with familiarity. Being formal, on the other hand, can be taken as an insult as it implies that they are alienating you from that family. It's a bit weird to explain and perhaps easier to show. Think about how Arctic first introduced himself to Pitch and you'll get a general idea on how that works.
I'll probably look to rework "Arrival" as well as make minor updates in other chapters at some point. However, my main attention is going to go back to part 2.
