[FFXIV] A Realm Repopulated Ch1 (Public Release)

And here we are!

I'll be leaving for Christmas later on today, so I probably won't be able to finish off the FE story I've been trying to complete. But I'll have a bit more time before I leave, so I'll see how much I can do, it'd be nice to get it done and I'd like to try. If not- I won't be back home again for quite a while, but I'll hopefully have it done before the NY.

Either w...

One last chapter for 2023! What should it be?

As I mentioned, with the FF14 story finally finished (that seriously sat at like 90% for almost a year), I'll be finishing off the FE story I was working on before, there's not much left to do on that one, so I'm hoping to have it out very soon.

And that means, after that, I'll be trying my very best to get one last chapter out before the year's end! So, what would your preference be for ...

A Waning Silence Ch13 (Public Release)

Done and dusted and out for the world to see! 

If you read the Early Access version when I initially posted it, I edited and fixed a few things up throughout the week, so hopefully that got more polished as the week went on. If you saw some errors, and especially if you highlighted them to me, they should all be fixed now, so thank you very much for the help!

I also changed th...

Minor Update

Just a very brief update to assure you that I am still working on the next chapter, I have been doing a lot of writing for it, and it's getting close to completion.

I keep going into the end of every week thinking I'll be able to knock it out this weekend, and then wind up not being able to. There's only a few scenes left, so I do imagine I should be able to finish it this weekend though....

A Brief Update

With "A new chapter of Waning Silence" pretty handily winning the previous poll, I've been working on that. However, it's taking a bit of time and there's still more to go, there- so hopefully you'll see that soon.

One of the reasons for the delay is that I recently got commissioned to write some scenes for a character in an Indie HGame called Love's Champion. I wasn't familiar with t...

What to work on next

I've recovered from being sick, finished most of some side work that was keeping me busy, and am now back on track with more writing-

However, before I get too far ahead, I thought I'd throw this out there and see what you guys would like to see next, since I've got a few half-finished stories still languishing for months now, or I can keep going with Danmachi, or something else entirely-...

A Waning Silence Ch12 (Public Release)

Now that it's done, I'm not sure if I wanna dive directly into another chapter and finish up the Denatus plotline and see about helping Lilli or Chloe lose their virginity, or maybe

Now that it's done, I'm not sure if I wanna dive directly into another chapter and finish up the Denatus plotline and see about helping Lilli or Chloe lose their virginity, or maybe go back and finish that FE ...

A Waning Silence Ch11 (Public Release)

And here we are, a week later, and time for the public release! I hope you've been looking forward to it.

The good news is that writing Ch11 was so fun I've gone straight into Ch12 and already made good progress with it, so hopefully(tm) we'll see that done well ahead of schedule too!

In the meantime, Ch11 has now been released to all good bookstores and libraries for hardcopy,...

A Waning Silence ch10

Hey, a chapter that's neither late, nor overdue! A miracle! 

Of course, this update is both... Uh... In short, I just barely managed to get the chapter up before I had to leave for work, so I didn't have time to make a post until tonight, which is now. So here we go!

It's the long (hopefully) awaited Bell/Syr lemon that we didn't see in the previous chapter, practically two cha...

A Waning Silence ch9

At long last! The arc I've been talking about finally, finally, finishing is finally, finally finished! And a new girl got added to the fun too! This chapter was meant to be done around the Christmas/NY period, but between all that stuff, getting sick, getting my Robin CYL chapter out and everything else, well here it is.

It's a big one again too, which hopefully explains the wait. Next ...

Something for the future with Cassandra and Daphne

The next chapter of "A Waning Silence" is still coming along.

But in the meantime, I just got back this commission from one of my favourite artists, and so I'll share it with you. The full series is for his Patreon, so this is something of an exclusive look!

Robin's "Choose Your Legends" Victory Party

Phew? Whatever happened to that "I'll try upload again before Christmas" thing?

Well Christmas I guess, I massively underestimated how busy and how distracted I'd be with the end of the year, I barely even got started writing anything until a good distance into Jan. And then writing went slower than expected since I got busier and then sick, and then all of a sudden I put my Danmachi ch...

A Waning Silence Ch8

Phew! Finally got the update out!

To what I'm sure is  everyone's great surprise, it took far longer than expected and wound up  being far bigger than expected. Such an unprecedented turn of events is  surely a shock to everyone who's ever read any of my work.

I'm  fairly happy with it, and I've finally got the story in place to go  through the Minotaur sect...

A Waning Silence Ch7

I expected this chapter to be out in about a week or two after the last one, but (as usual, perhaps) I underestimated just how much ground I was trying to cover and by the time I realised it was getting out of control, I'd written enough for two chapters.

So here's the first part, when I finish off and tidy up the second part, I'll get that out too, probably in a few days or maybe by this...

A Waning Silence Ch6

And I'm back!

Actually I got back from overseas a while back (I was only away for a week or so) but I wound up getting drawn into working on a private commission that was meant to take a few days and ended up taking an enormous amount of time and energy, spiraled out of control. But it's for someone who'd done a lot for me, so...

Anyway, more importantly, that's all done now and I'...

A Waning Silence Ch4

It keeps coming, this is what it's like to be so inspired I guess? Actually it's also largely just trying to make sure I get this arc done, which was meant to be done with this chapter but will instead be handled with the next one since I had to split it in half too.

I think the biggest lesson learned here though is to just get out 10k or so chapters instead of the 20-30k ones I always wi...

A Waning Silence Ch3

Contrary to my own expectations, instead of going back to the previous stories I've got sitting at about 80-90% done, I was utterly inspired to keep going with my Danmachi story, so I've put out a third chapter for it. This one actually does have sex, so heyo, getting back in the groove entirely.

And contrary to the expectations of anyone who's been following me, I think this is a pretty...

A Waning Silence Ch1 and Ch2

About damn time! I think at least!

I've said a few times but I've never stopped writing, I've just been doing so on a somewhat more haphazard routine. It's actually been a bit of a mess, I've got a bunch of stories I've been working on, but I was always getting pulled away from one to another before I could finish, I've had one story at about 90% done for months, and another at about 80...

Update

This one's really taken a while, and I'm sorry about that. It's probably pretty obvious, and I've seen where this was going for a while now, but actually writing these words turned out to be a pretty daunting task, something I kept re-thinking and going back on.

Either way:

The long and the short of it is that right now what I've been doing hasn't been working and it's not getting a...

Weekly Update

Still a bit more to go.

I've pivoted what I was aiming for with this chapter from what I was doing originally, and I thought I'd be able to get it out a bit faster, still have quite a bit left to do, but progress is coming well this time. The end is in sight.

Weekly Update

Should be able to have an upload this weekend. Not sure how satisfying it'll be, but I'll have something up.

Weekly Update

A frustratingly useless weak this time, unfortunately. Between work and family commitments, I didn't manage the 2-3hrs a day goal I set myself, and ended up barely making any progress. 

It should almost all be squared away now, so hopefully I can fix that ASAP.

Weekly Update

I didn't manage to stick to 2-3hrs of writing every day, but I did manage to do it more than previous weeks, and I feel like I actually made significant progress which is nice.

Let's see how things look this week, hopefully it can start making sense again.

Weekly Update

Still not done, still feel like I'm just chipping away at it. 

Looking back at a week's work and seeing how much I've still got to go, and how long the progress I have made is getting frustrating, especially with all that time I spend barely getting more than a few paragraphs done.

The only way to break through that is to push through it, and looking back at what I tracked this...

Weekly Update

Back in lockdown. Which should mean good news for getting more writing done, even as it means bad news for everything else.

Working from home is a funny experience, but I suppose that's the new normal for the next little while. Ahwell. My vaccine is booked in soon at least.

Hope you guys are all safe too. Writing is still chipping away for now.

Weekly Update

Sorry, not the most inspiring update this week. I've managed to mostly shake off the cold that'd been messing with me (was sick for a lot longer than I usually am, kind'a scary in these times, but I'm mostly back to normal now) and stuff with my family seems sorted for now, but I didn't make a huge amount of progress either and the story is still just being chipped away at.

I think I'll m...

Weekly Update

Progress is progressing, not as fast as I would like but it is progressing and I'm getting stuck out of the rut I was in story-wise.

My family's just gotten out of quarantine so I'm playing host again for the last few days (and for this week), which has put a damper on my ability to write, but the biggest thing that's been messing with me lately has been dealing with Ao3, which has been a...

Weekly Update

Just a "Progress is continuing" update this week really.

Good news: My brother flew in to visit, which is nice.

Bad news: His presence means I can't write as much as I'd otherwise like.

So yeah, progress is continuing. Hopefully will have something more fun to share next week, we'll see.

Weekly Update / Wedding Collab Story

Heyo. Slightly delayed update since last night wound up being a complete mess for me. But more importantly, I uploaded another story just yesterday ! A slightly sweet, very kinky little Robin/Tharja story, as part of a challenge/collab going on, on the Discord (and again, anyone who wants to drop by, you're welcome: https://discor...

Weekly Update

Another one of those days where a late night and early morning still aren't quite enough to finish off what I was doing.

It's well overdue from what I was expecting, but that's -I suppose- to be expected.

Still, it's basically done, I should be able to tidy it up and post it when I'm back from work.
