Sorry about the delay folks, but time slipped away from me and I had to push it back a day to make sure the chapter was up to snuff for you. Not only that, but I made a last-minute decision to split the chapter in two. So while you won't get quite the same level of revelation as you did with the original (which was 11,000+ words long), you'll get a much better experience with this one and new chapters next week and the week after!
Well, shoot. Time to add another candle to the cake.
Today's my birthday. I had intended to post a story today, but someone helping me with it has pointed out a number of holes in it that need to be patched. So expect it by Friday, I guess.
I've got a couple other things in the works, but none of them have progressed far enough to announce. I will say, though, that one of them includes a particular fashionista that nobody likes (Spoiler: it's Suri).
I could start this blog with a long, rambling monologue about what lead to the state of Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Its odd birth, its unfortunate comatose state, long detailed explanations why the fic essentially died so long ago. I'm not going to waste all of your time with that. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them in the comments, but that's not the point of this blog. Instead, I'm going to keep this brief and give the basic information. After all, for many of you who have read
Hey readers,
Been a while since I've done one of these! As you may have heard, my Patreon stuff has gone over some major changes with a MUCH more active Discord server and different approaches to rewards. Also, I take booze money as a form of gratitude now.
I’ve been caught in a dreg of OC stories lately (and more to come considering I just experienced something it would be remiss to not write a Raining-Verse story about it). A lot of them have been good OC stories, but nobody reads OC stories.
So here’s some good old-fashioned Rarishy (kinda).
Over and over again, I've been snapped at for asking for help or a simple question. It feels unfairly isolating and makes me feel like I wasn't meant to be heard. Sometimes, I don't know why I even bother anymore.
While on the plane to BronyCon, I ended up finally getting around to reading my first non-Wheel of Time Brandon Sanderson novel. Elantris was the first novel he wrote, and isn’t part of a series, so I figured I’d start with that.
It may not have been the best choice.
First off, a belated Happy New Year to you all!
Secondly, the results of my hiatus (or perhaps, my hiatus thus far...)
Now, I don't want to just give up on a story that I started writing. It's something I wound up doing back when I was writing Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction with my friends and we wound up abandoning a whole bunch of fun ideas we had and leaving the readers on a massive cliff-hanger.
Well, I've been looking around a few places, and I've been doing a few estimations, and I think that before this year is over, I'll finally have my first batch of shirts and/or posters made and ready to sell/give away!
So by now Episode 10 of Season 7, "A Royal Problem" has aired in Canada, though not in the US. At the time of writing this, it's not long after it aired in the land of pine and poutine, and rather than getting spoiled, I've kept up on those releases.
I'm not going yet, however.
I want to be here for the people who also have to watch their friends leave. I refuse to leave the site anytime soon. I may be gone for a few days, but usually that means my family dragged me somewhere else in the world where I couldn't bring my phone.
I feel a bit upset that the guy I love is most likely leaving, but I'm not following him out. I'll go with him to the "gates" but no further. His work here may be done, but mine is not.
if a fic falls in the featured box and the author's not around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Jeez, I've been coming here a lot, haven't I? Well, I've got some good news! My next chapter has been finalized, so I now have a total of three chapters done and backlogged. Further still, my editor REALLY loved the latest one I did, so that was a huge deal for me.
On top of that, I've started work on yet another chapter that I'll hopefully get done some time soon. I'm really gonna try to ride this creativity streak as long as I possibly can.
Edit/Update: The search by 'heat' doesn't treat story length in quite the same way as the Featured Box's full algorithm does, so the results are NOT entirely comparable. When I tested this initially, the Box had such a large proportion of Anon stories in it that any discrepancy in NON-ANON story results wasn't initially obvious.
Sorry!
