    Been a while

    Bit of a long-winded update post. Sorry. That is my writing style, after all.

    So obviously I haven't been active in a hot minute. Two main reasons:

    1 - I wrote way too much way too fast and burned myself out, and as such need time to recharge (that happens a lot with me. My love for writing, among other hobbies, comes and goes).

    Good news and, well, not bad news, but kind of neutral news, I guess? Also next story plan, and a wiki of sorts.

    So uh, the final chapter is ridiculously long. Like, over 20k words long. Obviously that's too much, so I'm splitting it into two chapters.

    Yo I promise I'm not dead

    I'm actually pretty close to finishing part 2 of FiMTech. I know it's been over half a year since the last chapter was released, and I make no excuses; I'm lazy and have things I'd rather be doing. However, I do still write every now and then. I love this series and want to see it completed someday. No telling how long that will take considering the number of titles I have planned for it, but

    Hmm

    Chapter 13 of The War of Annihilation is basically just 5.7k words of dialogue. I can't help but think that's a bit much, but at the same time I don't think I could have made it much shorter while still fully preparing for the next (and final) chapter. Well, the ending should be exciting enough to make up for that, so hopefully it's not too unforgivable. My stories are usually

    Haven't been feeling that writing bug lately

    I've had a bit on my mind the past week and it's kept me from writing anything. I'll try to get back to it at some point. I'm sitting on almost 20k words of a story that I need to proofread so I can submit it, but I just don't have the motivation to do it yet. Soon. Once that's done I'll get back to FiMTech.

So uh, the final chapter is ridiculously long. Like, over 20k words long. Obviously that's too much, so I'm splitting it into two chapters.

Good news next - all of the writing is done (except for the epilogue, but that's basically done). I'll edit and proofread the first half, release that tomorrow, then finish up the epilogue, edit and proofread that and the second half of the last chapter, and release them together next weekend. The second half is about 12k words of fighting, so that's exciting.

I've also decided to go through with my plan to redo part one of this story. Now that I've fleshed out the universe a lot more in my head, I think I can incorporate much much more world building into the story, and create something actually worth reading this time around. Part three will have to wait, but it's not going anywhere.

I also started working on an encyclopedia for the series, basically just a wiki that only I can edit. That would let me incorporate a lot more of my ideas without making the stories too boring with all the technical details (stuff like magic weapons and my own 'Mech designs. I do have some stuff along those lines planned). People who want to know that sort of stuff can look it up, everyone else can just read the story. It's been kind of a background thing that I add to as I come across things while writing that I feel need more background info. I'll post a link to that once it has enough content.

Sike, I guess I'll release the first half today. I forgot I already did 90% of the editing for this part of the chapter.
