Chapter 20, Side Stories, and Escape From Tarkov · 12:46am Feb 29th, 2020
Hey, guys! Golden here with your regular inter-chapter check-in. I know I said I was hoping to get 20 out today, but after 19 ended up being delayed by like four days it was pretty clear to me that getting 20 drafted, edited, and published in time would be a pretty big rush job, so I thought I'd take the week off.
Not like totally off, of course. I've got a lot of side story stuff in the works, so I've been taking this small break from writing to focus on them.
Sea of Stars is approaching its climactic finale, so I've been sorting through the last few chapters making sure everything fits within the canon and satisfies my standards of quality. GM Insipidious is great to work with, and his writing often raises questions that lead to long conversations between my editors about how exactly it fits into and influences the wider setting. This is usually when he'll pop in just to say to let him know when we're done so he can finally edit the draft to fit. Fans of both stories will be pleased to know that the Admiral is also planned to show up in Act 3 of the main story, though that's probably a bit ways away.
Also on my list is Lost Student, which is really very quite close to finally coming out of its hiatus with a huge rewrite. The increase in quality is huge and PsyonicG's come a long way as a writer both in terms of skill and ethic. I just have a couple more chapters to look over and then she'll be able to put those out, so for those of you who like your wyrds a little snarky and your Twilights a little witty, you have that on the horizon.
Last, but not least, and in fact most recent, I've gotten in contact with Wanderer D to write a Sunset's Isekai chapter! For those unfamiliar—as in, those that never look at the front page—Sunset's Isekai is an anthology featuring Sunset Shimmer and her dimension hopping bar. It appears across stories all across FimFic, offering a special kind of drink to those who need it most, exactly when they need it. The chapter will feature Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Flintlock going out looking for a good bar aboard the Orichalcum the night before they leave, only to stumble across an interdimensional bar!
In non-writing news, I've been playing a lot of Escape from Tarkov lately, so that's pretty fun!
