A Long Overdue Update

 A Long Overdue Update


Hey all, first things first, I want to say sorry for how long it's been without any updates. 

I want to make it clear that I am and have been working, it's taken far longer than intended, but I've got about 20k words written and I'm almost, mostly, kind'a done. There's more to go, but the end's in sight.

I kept talking myself out of making a status update post like this because I keep thinking I can just push through and have it done instead, and there's always more to do. So, I finally just wanted to make it as clear as possible- I am still working, I've written a bunch more this very weekend, I'll keep writing more after this and I'll get a chapter published as soon as possible.

It's a bit of a shock honestly, I was intending to have this chapter and another Danmachi chapter done before the Danmachi S5 began, but it's about halfway through now... At least the season's been great.

Anyway, I'll get back to it. Hopefully you'll hear from me again very soon. Sorry again about how long this has taken, and thanks for your patience.

[UO] The Unicorn Lord And The Maidens (Virginia) - Public Release

 


And here we are, the public release for the Virginia chapter of my Unicorn Overlord series.

I've been informed there's going to be a delay in getting physical copies of these out to market, so for now, I suggest anyone interested read the digital version here:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/56073406/chapters/149023075

After some consideration, I think I'll do a very short follow up to conclude this, just to tie off a plot point that exists in my headcanon and amuses me greatly. It'll only be a few paragraphs and won't have any sex (since I don't wanna risk making it a full chapter and getting distracted), so I'll probably have that up soon.

Other than that, I'm planning to go for another (hopefully quick) chapter of my XIV story before diving back into Danmachi.

Although, given that I just finished Volume 19, and loved it, that's a hard choice lol.

Anyway, let me thank you once again, take care.

[UO] The Unicorn Lord And The Maidens (Virginia) - Early Access

 


Done, at long last!

I remember thinking this one would be a lot faster to get out, since I'd already written some of it before pivoting to Scarlett and Melisandre in the previous chapter. But then, I also remember thinking that these chapters were gonna be 5k or so long... So this one being not too far shy of 15k kind'a showcases what happened.

Although, getting sick didn't help.

Anyway, I'm better now and it's finally finished. The last "2-3 paragraphs to go" wound up being more like 2-3 pages, and then more after that, but I think it came out pretty well, and I'd like to think that if you like Virginia you'll enjoy this.

As I mentioned before, this will be my final UO Chapter. There's a lot more I wanted to do, especially for (those unbelievably delicious Elves) Rosalinde and Eltolinde, and I had a lot planned out for them, but it's just taking me too long to get these chapters done and I'd rather have this story complete and behind me. I've enjoyed it, but I'll enjoy having it completed.

And more importantly, please find the Early Access link here.

Public release will be next week.

Thanks again for your support and sorry again for this taking as long as it did. Next up, probably Kan-E-Senna? Then Danmachi! S5 is coming soon and I'm hyped! Finally more people will know who Horn is, lol.

 A long overdue update


Ahh, sorry, I can't believe how long this has taken, but I'm finally, finally, finally almost done with the UO Story I've been working on.

I'm pretty happy with how it's going, the writing feels good to me, I think it's gonna be a good chapter, but it's also been like pulling teeth getting it done. And between that, the story getting bigger than intended (as expected?) and getting sick which knocked me out for a week or so, it's just dragged on and on.

I was originally intending to do 4-5 chapters for UO and I've got ideas for it I really like, but the motivation is gone and I really wanna get back into doing Danmachi (or XIV), which has only made it harder, so I'm gonna finish this one off and complete the story with this.

I've been working on it almost all of this weekend, and almost all day, was sure I could get it done, but I'm finally gonna have to stop for the night. Hopefully I can finish it off tomorrow before work, otherwise after that. Either way, there's only something like 3-4 paragraphs left, it's within sight.

I've been putting off doing a status update since I've just been telling myself I can (and should) finish it instead, but with how long it's taken and this weekend drawing to a close, I wanted to at least put this out, say sorry for how long it's taken, and say I do hope to have more very soon.

[UO] The Unicorn Lord And The Maidens (Scarlett+Melisandre) - Public Release

 


 And here we are, we week later, the public release for Ch2 starring Scarlett and Melisandre.

Hard copies are being shipped out to bookstores near you, but if you'd prefer digital, you can read it here:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/56073406/chapters/144562450

Having already made some headway into the next chapter, I was hoping to have that all done and dusted, or at least very close to, by the time I had this ready for public release. The dream of going directly into another upload was a tantalising thing... But unfortunately, I didn't get enough done for that. 

Shouldn't take too much longer, so hopefully the next Early Access upload is soon, but for now that dream remains a challenge to be met.

Enjoy, and thanks again!

[UO] The Unicorn Lord And The Maidens (Scarlett + Melisandre) - Early Access

 


 Phew! This one was a funny one to get out...

I said I wasn't sure I'd continue doing more UO Stuff... Then the reception seemed really positive, especially with the idea of quick and easy fast iterating chapters.

I said if I did, the next chapter would be Virginia... Then I felt like I couldn't jump that far ahead without addressing the ridiculously busty childhood-friend in the room (and the incredibly alluring Swordsmaster too, of course).

I said I would have it out in a week... But then I pivoted away from a Virginia chapter that was about 1/3rds done AND made the Scarlett+Melisandre chapter far more in depth than planned twice as long as Yahna's one.

So, I had the best of intentions, but nothing I said wound up working out, haha. Sorry about that.

I hate when stories take longer than I want to be done, but I do hope you can see the passion and effort that goes into them regardless. My sleep schedule for the last 3 days has been practically nonexistent trying to finish this one off...

Anyway, that's enough from me, please find the Early Access link here.

And, as always, thank you very much for your support. It truly does keep me going with this stuff.
