When I started writing From Far Beyond I expected it to be my magnum opus on this site. By the time I cancelled it in July early this year I'd come to...well, not hate it, but I was pretty disappointed in how it was going to turn out, plus a lack of motivation to continue it.

But I did promise an explanation of why I cancelled it and what would have happened next as compensation, so here it goes.

Hello folks. Welcome to perhaps the hardest blog post that I've yet to write.

Since my arrival on the site, my big fanfiction magnum opus has been "From Far Beyond". I'm sure that most of my followers have read what I've put up of it so far.

Hello, folks.

So many of you–or maybe just some or a few of you, I don't know–are likely wondering where the next chapter of From Far Beyond is. I am still working on it. It's just that between college and a general rise and fall in my motivation to actually write, I haven't gotten a whole lot of it done. But I assure you, I am working on it.

I've replaced the original cover art for From Far Beyond with a newer version that I created. I've had the basic idea for this design for a while now, and I'm glad that I've finally been able to make it.

Nothing really major, but I added in an image of the TechnoCorp company logo and slogan in Chapter 2.

Hello, followers

I know I said that I'd probably have Chapter Five finished before the end of the month, but now I'm not quite as sure. Most of it has to do with college stuff (being in a COM major does bring on a lot of tough assignments at times), but I'm also experiencing a bit of a...I don't know if it could be called a writer's block; I know what I want to write, and I know how I want it to be worded, I just need to will myself into actually writing it.

Just thought I'd let you all know that I have written up to half of the fifth chapter of From Far Beyond. Well, close to half, anyway. Maybe a little less. But the point is that I'm around half-way done with it or so, and it should be up by the middle of the month.

I re-wrote the original prologue and put it as an official part of the story. It's nothing big. It's basically a title crawl, if you will. I just got sick of seeing that unpublished chapter from an earlier draft, and decided to change it up a little to fit in with the final incarnation of the story.

If you missed my Christmas message, then I just want you all to know that I have added Chapter 4 of From Far Beyond. I noticed the story didn't appear in the "recently updated" column...probably because I accidentally published the chapter early and then unpublished it, and it doesn't count as an update if you just re-upload a chapter.

Have a new chapter! Things are really getting going now!

I accidentally hit the Publish button instead of Edit. There's no new update.

Seriously, can they add an "are you sure you want to publish" thing to that? This is the second time in a row now.

Just wanted to let you know that the third chapter of "From Far Beyond" has now been posted. I don't know why it's not showing up in the updates section. I guess it was because I hit the publish button early that once.

For those of you who are wondering why you might have received a notification for an update last night (or whenever your timetable is), let me clear things up a little.

There isn't a new chapter. Not yet. What happened was that, while I was working on said chapter, I accidentally hit the publish button.

Dear readers,

As I have specified earlier, I intend to delete the prologue for "From Far Beyond" tomorrow for narrative purposes. I have it backed up via Pages file, but if you have not yet read it, I suggest you do so. Not that it'll matter to the final story.

With regards,
-Jade Dawn

Dear readers,

After much thought, I have decided that I am going to delete the prologue for "From Far Beyond". The reason for this is that it sets up a sub-plot that, after much thinking, I have decided would be ultimately detrimental to the overall narrative flow of the story.

Hello, everyone.

I am currently working on the next chapter for From Far Beyond. God willing, I'll be able to have it up sometime this week, maybe even tonight if I'm lucky.

Hello again to those who are reading my blog posts.

A few days ago, I said that I am putting From Far Beyond on hiatus until I can work out the details on where I want it to go.

Well, I've thought a little more, and I feel that I have found the direction I wish to go with it.

I will begin resuming work on the story in the next couple of days. Thank you again.

Dear readers,

First of all, I'd like to say thank you to all of you who have taken the time to read my story "From Far Beyond". It means a lot that people care enough to take a look at my ideas.

That being said, I've taken a look at what I have so far, and my current outline for the story, and I'm kind of running into some problems with it.
