Weekly Update

Oookay! And I was hoping to actually have the upload done tonight, but I've got work in a handful of hours, so I think I'm gonna get some sleep instead.

 

More importantly though, I'm switching the plan up a little.

 

I always expected this chapter to be pretty massive, but now that I've actually got it written out and I'm looking at where I'm expanding things, and where things are getting much larger than my skeleton accounted for, I've come to the conclusion that it's probably best to split it into two chapters. Since the alternative is gonna be some monstrous 30-40k word beast, that's just gonna be silly.

 

I've mostly gotten it all written anyway, although not all transcribed, so the second part should come not long after the first (presuming I don't get myself killed in editing/re-writing). Aim was to have an upload up tonight, and then the second part by end of next week at the latest, but tonight went slower than I was hoping for, so we'll see how that holds.

 

I've updated the Google Docs to reflect this, but the plan right now will be to have the first part end shortly after the meeting in Ylisstol, before they depart (finishing with the Cordelia blowjob that overwhelmingly won the vote!) and then the second part cover the rest. 

 

So part 1 is setup, part 2 is all Say'ri. Makes sense in a way.

 

For perspective, what I've got transcribed so far is a little under 20k words, and will probably end up around 25k+ or so by the time I've finished with the meeting, the talk with Olivia and the Cordelia scene. So it'll be a pretty meaty chapter as is.

 

And yeah, I know, splitting chapters sucks. I agree. It feels lame to do it and it probably feels somewhat unsatisfying to read, but I think it's probably a necessary evil at this point.

 

Thanks as always

Weekly Update

Apologies for the late (and useless) update this week, I meant to do it earlier yesterday or today- just got back from the hospital earlier today and wound up crashing out until just a bit ago afterwards. 

 

I was just in for a minor surgical procedure, no problems- worst of it was honestly the god-awful drink I had to take for two days leading up to it. It's amazing how bad they can make that shit taste, I thought I had a pretty tough stomach but I still wound up chundering some of it...

 

Anyhow, I think the sedatives and such seem to have worn off, but I'm not in much of a headspace to do an update and haven't been able to do any writing the last few days. I've got a little bit longer off work so that should hopefully give me time to finish things up this week.

 

Thanks for your patience, as always,

Weekly Update

Similar (but better) story this week. Work's gone really well on the chapter, but it's not yet complete. It's sitting at a little over 16k words, and for anyone who's followed the outline, I'm through to just before they leave from Ylisstol.

 

I've added a small sex scene between Robin and Lucina before the meeting.

 

And as a response to the poll I put out, I'll see about adding a sexual scene between Robin and Cordelia before he leaves. Although, that'll depend on what I can get added and whether or not the scene will work... It's a scene idea I like a lot, but it's definitely amusingly controversial in the comments!

 

Anyhow, look forward to a more exciting update next time!

Weekly Update

Still chipping away on Ch18. Not done yet, but I'm fairly happy with the progress I've made, especially today, since I managed to pretty much dedicate the whole day to just finding a quiet place and writing, which was nice.

 

A little worried it's gonna end up being a ridiculously long "Why didn't you split this into two?" chapter, but I think people are at least somewhat used to those kind'a chapters from me by now, hopefully it's not a turn off.

 

Heading back to work this week though, which is a headspin. Holidays are a fast and fleeting joy, c'est la vie.

Weekly Update

Probably not to anyone's great surprise, I haven't managed to finish in time for Christmas. Mostly because the few days I had dedicated, set aside for writing ended up being taken up by family. Fun overall, of course, but not very productive.

 

I literally got up early today, got everything I needed to do sorted, sat down to start actually writing because I wanted to either get a chapter finished to upload before Christmas or at least get some real progress done and be close... But then right as I get started my brother uses the key I'd given him to open up my house.

 

Apparently he'd checked out of the hotel/appartment he was staying in today and was coming over to crash with me instead. And he's brought his Switch so he could play BoTW on my TV (which doubles as my computer monitor, it's a large TV which makes for a nice monitor). 

 

Ahwell, more importantly, Merry Christmas everyone! Look for more from me soon!

Weekly Update

Not a lot to say this week, still slogging away, making progress as I can. I'm sticking to my claim that I'll be aiming to have this chapter up before Christmas/NY, but seeing as I've just found out that I'm apparently going to be hosting family from the 20th, I may need to amend that, as things play out.

I'll update more as I know more.

 

I did manage to lose 300 orbs in FEH, only to find out that Echidna is apparently a 4/5* unit rather than just a 4* though, so that's... something...

Weekly Update

Just a relatively small update today, and kind'a late at night since it took a while transferring everything across to text/GoogleDocs.

Still a lot to do. It's a busy time of year with a lot of things delaying me (apparently work Christmas dinner tomorrow, which ends sometime around midnight, so doubtful I'll get anything done) but I'm still aiming to be done before Christmas.
