Recapped


It is not the darkness in the story that makes it beautiful. It is the light that rises after it reaches the dregs of despair. Hope. The realization that. while not ideal, things ended well

Holidays are busy. Also revising chapter 1 · 3:41am Jan 10th, 2016

Title pretty much says it all.

Basically, the first chapter has been bugging me for awhile now. I am crafting a new intro. One which I think starts the story off on a better foot than the last one which was far more high energy rambly and not really at all like how I would write later (well, there are some simlarities but you know what I mean)

Interim update bit · 12:12am Nov 21st, 2015

So, restoring a hard drive is hard. Still trying to do that and then finish getting all the programs installed for my computer.

That said, cool stuff has happened thanks to a certain awesome person named Norbu on here who has grasciously, kindly, and plain amazingly taken it upon themselves to make some cover art for "Of Quills and Blades" and also sent me an absolutely amazing blow up of Recap's cutie mark. And I love it. Absolutely love it.

New cover art

Where is chapter 4? Why the delays and a more feasible update schedule. · 7:35pm Nov 13th, 2015

Well shoot. My schedule kind of got thrown out the window didn't it? No update in October for Chapter 4 and then 13 days into November and still nothing. So, here is what is going on. Also, as usual, I have a super short summary for those who just want bullet points.

Progress update: Chapter 4 revisions and publishing · 7:51am Oct 5th, 2015

(looks at the date) Crap, it is October isn't it?

Well bleh. This is going to be a crazy month. Looking into school stuff, figuring out money, possibly getting ready to move come December, and the Guild Wars 2 expansion is coming out. Yay for an MMO with actual storytelling focus and capability though (yes I know there is a Bioware game. Just never got very far and the whole tab targeting system is one I do not like too much).

Chapter 2 is released! And stuff · 8:19pm Sep 20th, 2015

Well, today was exciting. I got on to upload chapter two, along with doing all the formatting that does not translate, and found out people are actually reading the story. Which is just amazing to me since I hadn't put it in any groups yet. I was going to do that when more of it was submitted but wow.

So to all of you out there that have followed me or Of Quills and Blades I want to give you a thank you! I hope you find the journey fun as the story progresses.

Release day: A little past Midnight of the 14th Day · 6:25am Sep 19th, 2015

So... midnight counts as the 14th right? It is the 14th in England if nothing else. Anyways, here is the first chapter! As noted in the prior post, look forward to the next two over the next few days!

Thanks for reading! Or... not. Not sure why you are here unless came to read it. Maybe these blogs are really just that entertaining? No... couldn't be :-p

The Taken Time and Tentative Release Schedule: Dawn of the 13th Day · 8:10am Sep 18th, 2015

So... Destiny the Taken King. In the words of one reviewer, it was as if the whole first year of Destiny was a beta and we finally have the full release. No spoilers but... here is what to expect. Destiny always had atmosphere down and now they are exploring actually giving characters a chance to shine. Whether it is the Resurrection of Ghost commentary (I call him Nolan-Bot. Though I preferred my old term "Dinkle-Bot but that no longer applies with the departure of Dinklage), the class

Chapter Two Comes After Chapter 1: Dawn of the 7th Day · 8:02am Sep 11th, 2015

I am happy to report that chapter two has been looked at and revised. That said, this one always hits me. It is an interesting chapter because some of it was planned and some of it just seemed to happen as I let myself write. It is here that I think Recap gets more of a chance to be an interesting character (and a chance to meet other interesting characters).

Unfortunately, I don't really know what else to say without getting into Spoiler territory (snickers... you will see why soon ;-)
