I’M FINALLY GETTING SOMEWHERE WITH A STORY
JWYDJWHSODYSY
You know, when I started this little prequel to my upcoming Victory Universe, I wasn't actually all that sure of what would happen to it within the context of the contest I was writing it for. Would it win big? Would it be forgotten in the entry pile? I honestly feared both options. Premonitions was the very first act of a writer, like the Tin Man of Oz, shaking off more than a decade of absolute rust. I took on the project knowing I wasn't yet at a level where I could do proper
I was able to get a final edit of Chapter 6 uploaded last night. It took a few small adjustments to get the overall word count under 20K. Thankfully, nothing significant was lost in that transition. The original version of the final edit was 20,126 words compared to the final count of 19,997 words. That cut it very close to the contest's cap! In all of the site views that display the truncated amount of words, that gets commonly rounded up to a perfect 20K words. It wasn't a significant
I completed the promised re-edits of Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 of Victory: Premonitions before posting Chapter 4. This messed with the every-other-day release cadence I had admitted to liking so much, but it was definitely necessary. The prize pool for the contest has gone up, so competition will be steep! With that in mind, I went ahead and posted the work-in-progress cover art I was working on. It's just a simple interpretation of Saturn for now. The plan was originally to draw The
I'm excited to be making progress on actually posting this thing. This whole project has been very exciting. I'm not sure if the Mature rating will stick. I've always had a bad relationship with these online self-rating systems. I'd much prefer an "in progress" rating that was the functional equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and seeing where things go. As it stands, part of me wants to tone down the later chapters and re-concept the scope into something with less adult themes. I'm not
Chapter 3 of Victory: Premonitions is out! So far I've stuck to an every-other-day cadence with these releases that I really like. This chapter saw a lot of special attention in the editing process to correct for run-ons. This was the result of some specific feedback I got from the first two chapters. I may still go back and make edits to Chapters 1 & 2 to correct for this before posting Chapter 4. Behind the scenes, I completed work on Chapter 6 and have everything through to the
I think we finally got it! Internet hasn't gone down the drain yet, and the anti-virus programs aren't showing anything else. As a sort of reward for it, I've decided to try to get the next chapter of Chara's new home out today or tomarrow!
Stay determined folks!
Well, it's finished. Fifteen months, twenty-nine days, and I truly don't want to know how many words later, I've completed the first draft of the long-form, long-in-the-making project I've simply been calling Firestarters.
Happy Victory Day (9 May) Everyone!!!

So, for those of you who do not browse the first house of pone, yet somehow care about it's goings on, this happened:
That's right, ya boy got another fic on EQD.
But that's not all, because I got an extra surprise:
