It's a couple days early but the first batch of Departures chapters are complete, giving me a month of content in the backlog. To avoid potentially losing momentum with releasing it so close to both Aftermath and Monsters we Make, I've decided to push the initial release date forward. I'm still a few hours out, but expect the first chapter to go live around 8:00 AM, PST. Chapters will be released on a weekly basis through mid March, and will probably switch to every other week depending on how

Small Status Update: Departures is sitting at 4 written chapters, all of which are in various stages of editing.

The writing in Silver Eclipse’s introductory chapter is especially annoying to re read because it just comes off as big blocks of expository text with no real space for character development. Here’s a little preview of one of

I had planned to save Chapter 3 until I got back from my vacation, however I'm almost done with it and I still have a few days before I leave, so on that note: I'll probably publish Chapter 3 on Tuesday or Wednesday and then mark the story as "On Hiatus" until I get back. Ultimately I plan on having at least 6 chapters in this story counting the three that I've already written, with either an epilogue, or a final chapter that sets up the next story. As with anything this might change over time
