So... it's been a while.
First off, obviously not dead, just the same problems as before (good ol' writer's block), but there is good news

<glances over at clock> stars above it's late, why am I posting this ag- oh right, wanted to plug something for a friend and I keep getting distracted
Well, first might as well get some updates out on Mage: next chapter is being worked one slowly, mostly due to a mix of writers block and trying to juggle some personal works, but it is far from dead, rewrite of early chapter will begin once in full the chapter is out.
As I mentioned back in September, I'm planning on rewriting the prologue section of Mage's Jump, I've decided that, instead of waiting till chapter 20 (which, given my my current update schedule, will be a long ways off... on the plus side the next couple chapters are a bit less focused on the main plot, one is a flashback and the other is to start what I hope/plan to be a minor subplot) I'm going to start it now and try to work on it while not taking too much effort from current chapters for
Good news dear readers, chapter 17 of Mage's Jump is finished and will be sent to editors to be torn apart looked over tomorrow!
I probably would have gotten this finished over the weekend, but I was staying at my sister's for Super Sac-con and spent very little time on my laptop during those two days.
Little heads up- this was written about an hour or so before I go to bed, and I'm already starting to crash at the time of writing
It's been... over 4 months since I last updated Mage's Jump...
Something that's been on my mind for some time now is: should I rewrite the prologue of Mage's Jump be rewritten?
short answer- yes
long answer- why haven't you done it sooner you freaking idiot?
Linking to Mage's Jump for now as it has more readers, and since most of the readers of the diary also read the main story. And I can only link one story at a time
For Mage's Jump readers- ch16 is complete and will be going into editing in a few days
For Son of Man, Daughter of Pony readers- ch4 is just about done with edits, updates Friday Published
For readers in general- I got job the other day, while I'm mostly only be working weekends I may end up working from time to time on weekdays, so updates won;t be coming very fast in the future, at least not until I get used to my schedule.
It's coming along, but I'm making progress.
To give a simple reason for it taking so long is that I honestly just haven't felt like writing it lately. I'm not growing bored with the story or anything, just my mind is focused on different things lately, so often I'll only get a few hundred words in a week, save for the few times I've ended up getting 500 or out in one night. I've got about just under 4.5k done so far, hopefully I can get it out by the end of the month.
Only linking to Mage's Jump because you can only link to one story
To readers of The Mage's Jump
I've been making some small edits to older chapters, nothing that really changes the content, just fixing some bits here and there that I've looked back at and thought "What the hell was I thinking?", as well as adding the translations to the irish/elvish dialogue, which I'm not sure why I've never bothered to do until now
I would like to apologize for the delays on chapter 15 of Mage's Jump. The main problem is that the chapter contains characters I've had little experience with, and as such trying to find dialogue that fits them has been a bit problematic overall (thankfully the other memverse writers has offered some suggestions to help, so I at least have an idea of what to have them talk about). Along with that I haven't really been up for writing some nights, along with only being able to focus on writing
To get right to the point, ch.14 is delayed another week or two
First off, I'd like to take a moment to point out two relatively new addition to my user page
