    Death of a Queen, V2 -- Finished!

    Hey all,

    Got bored today. Saw that I accidentally released a chapter this morning, so I decided . . . eh, might as well just finish it.
    Hope you enjoy!

    Thanks,

    Death of a Queen V2, First 3 Chapters Released

    Hey all,

    It's been a long time coming, but I just wanted to let you all know that Death of a Queen, Version 2, has had its first 3 chapters released. This has been the culmination of a massive effort from both me and my editor, Applezombi, who generously donated much of their free time to this project.

    Work On Hold

    Hey all,

    As you may be able to tell from the title and from my lack of posting recently, I have some news. Some of my writings are going to be going on hold. This includes Ashes and Life of a Queen. Death of a Queen: Version 2 is finishing up its editing run and should hopefully start releasing soon.

    Now as for why this is happening.

    Ashes, New Chapter

    New chapter for Ashes. Sunset is still making her way through the High Wall of Lothric. I think the loneliness is getting to her, though. Hope she finds some friends soon.

    The Next Big Story

    So, I've got a question.

    I know I have at least one reader out there that I hope reads my Blogs.
    The last few days, I've been struggling with a question.

    Right now, I'm waiting on Death of a Queen Version 2 edits.
    While I'm working on that with my editor, I wanted to work on another project.

Editing DoaQ V2 · 7:52pm Jul 18th, 2022

Howdy,

I'm not sure anyone remembers that I even planned a rewrite for this story. But I did. It was a massive undertaking, correcting all the things that I didn't like about the first story. So, it is with tentative pride that I announce that the story is finished. And it was really something. To justify just how much has changed from the original, I feel safe to say that this new version is over 100k words longer than the original. This includes new scenes, changed up pacing, and a whole restructuring of the story as a whole.

As of this moment, I'm moving into editing mode for the story. And I'm ninety-nine percent sure that it won't take a year for this one.
This was a difficult journey, and all of you (if you're still here, that is) have waited patiently. I hope to be able to post the first chapter someday soon. Until then, don't lose hope. I promise that this will happen.

Thanks, and have a great day,
Arkane12

Still here m8!
🎼Never gonna give you up🎼

Nice! I recently stumbled upon the story again while looking for stuff to read and read getting worried, now I can look forward to reading the new version again.

Oh, I look forward to this. My memory is that the original was quite good, but could have benefited from a little more planning in advance, as the pacing was fairly inconsistent, and some threads seemed to disappear and reappear, leaving it tonally confused.
So I'm sure this will be great to read. Well done. Stick with it.

Thnaks for the news, i will be waiting

Looking forward to it.

This really motivates me to continue reading this story (for reasons of being busy and some procrastination, I hadn't finished it). Really looking forward to seeing the changes you've made! :yay:
I am very interested when you talk about changes in pacing and restructuring, it's precisely an aspect that I consider somewhat weak in the original version. This really gets me excited! :raritystarry:
Thanks to you for the great story and dedication :pinkiehappy:
