    I will probably be a little late with the next chapter of Demigods and Heroes. I had a busy weekend, so I only really got to write for it last Friday, and this coming chapter is gonna be a pretty eventful one. I hope to have it out by Friday at the latest, though.

    Alright, so, I may be a little late on my already sporadic updates of Wizards and Witchers and Sorceresses, Oh My!
    I got kicked in the ankle by a horse a couple days ago, and while nothing is broken, I have spent the last few days in bed with my leg elevated, instead of writing. Also, my foot is purple, now. Writing will resume shortly.

    Good news: I have electricity and water once again! Bad news: the ice and cold seems to have killed my internet. So…I can write, but I can't really post anything until we get that fixed. Fun times.
    randomlightning
    Update from me: I promised a short break from writing while I recovered from dental work. I have extended that break on the grounds of I have no electricity and it's really cold. I will continue writing when I can feel my fingers again in a few days.
    Any chance you'll be returning to Capes and Curses? I found it to be really high quality, and I'm sad that it looks like you've moved on. If nothing else, I'll be looking into your other stuff.

    Maybe sometime down the line. Probably whenever the next JJK season comes out and gets me in the mood for that again. Right now I'm more focused on my Star Trek story, as I chose it for NaNo and vowed to reach my 30K goal, no matter how long it took.

    I know I just posted more of Star Trek: The Fractured Frontier, and I was planning on writing more to make that hit 30K for NaNo, but one of my horses is dying, so I probably won't be writing today. Maybe not tomorrow either. I'm sorry for the delay.

    Any chance you will go back to your Star wars and vampire quests?

    Maybe eventually. I'm not currently feeling up to writing any quests that are super involved and story and lore heavy.
    That's the reason Krakoa quest is such a quick and easy thing to write.

    I apologize for my lack of activity this month, I have been alternating between sick and busy for the past few weeks. And without enough spare time to write more than maybe 300 words at a time, I decided to plan out a Metroid/Mass Effect story as a thought experiment, and now I wanna actually do it because I think I'm cooking there.
    randomlightning
    Looks like it's another stare at my keyboard for hours without typing day. Grrr. Probably doesn't help that I'm constantly trying to decide between more of my DC story, my Fire Emblem story, or a Marvel story that I really don't need to start.

    Screw it, I'm just gonna play Pokemon and watch the rain.

    Apologies for a relative lack of activity, I watched The Pitt over the weekend, and all my ideas are currently leaning towards medical dramas, which I definitely should not write, because I'm not a doctor, and the writers of House MD are probably more knowledgeable than I am about medicine.
    Fantastic show, though. I thoroughly recommend The Pitt, 10/10, very stressful watch.

    Is it just me, or does interaction on quests seem lower than average for anyone else?
    I mean, I'm not the most popular writer out there, but 2 votes in over 4 hours, especially on the first proper chapter is…really low, by my estimation.
    randomlightning
    Sat down to write, and just when I started to get my momentum going, I get a call from my mother telling me the dogs have killed a skunk and I have to help her get it away from them, and get the smell out. So much for a productive day of writing.
    randomlightning
    Been a little while since I updated any of my stories here. Sorry about that. I've been reading books, watching TV, and playing video games when I haven't been doing work around the house. Trying to recharge my creative batteries, so to speak. Hopefully, I'll have time to do some writing next week and on the weekend.
    randomlightning
    Ugh. Set aside time to work on Octavia's interlude stories for Vampire Quest today. I got a whopping two sentences written in 8 hours. Hate it when this happens.
    randomlightning
    Alright, if anyone comes to check on progress updates on my works, I'm a little exhausted from being best man at my friend's wedding. I probably won't get back to my normal schedule until later this week. In the meantime, the Legend of Zelda mind control story I promised is almost through with the first chapter. It'll be in my snippets thread today or tomorrow. I hope.

    Hello! I just wanted to ask if your Skyrim Thane quest ever has a hope to return. I loved the details of rebuilding the nearly dead hold, and the characters you brought to life for that quest. I hope your doing well!

    I won't say it'll never return, but it's very unlikely right now. I still love the characters of Sam and Aoibheann, but ultimately, I burned myself out trying to write that along with other stuff, and the dice rolling parts were barely thought out. Sorry, I know this wasn't the answer you were hoping for.

    I promise, updates to things are coming, I've just been working this weekend. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to finish the next chapter of Capes and Curses, then Vampire Quest, soon.

    Of course, I'm now working tomorrow, so I guess soon is relative

    That moment when I just finished a chapter of a story, but I've long since realized it's not a good idea to update on weekends, so I have it sitting in my docs folder till Monday. Well, Rulers of Krakoa fans have waited 3 months, they can wait two more days.

    …so, early this week, one of my dogs passed, and yesterday I fell about five feet directly onto a metal jack, hurting my back.
    Not my week, to say the least.
    Despite all that, I'm, for the first time in months, feeling the urge to revisit DC Quest. We shall see how that goes when I get to typing.
    randomlightning
    Well, despite being technically too far inland for Hurricane Beryl to hit me too hard, the remaining storm front still dropped several tornadoes on my head. Awesome.

    I will attempt to read and react to your questions later this week

    I mean, it's no rush. I've been real busy at the new job, and it's not exactly the thing I can write during downtime at work, so it may be a while before I can write for that quest again.
    randomlightning
    So, uhhh, good news, bad news.
    Good news: Got the job I interviewed for!
    Bad news: The job does kinda suck, and it's gonna be hard hours.
    I might need to put my quest on a longer hiatus while I get the hang of things. Sorry about that guys, but I do need the money
    randomlightning
    And now, I am housesitting again, except this time, without sharing too much personal info, I'm uhhh, I'm not in a good place, mentally. I could really use any good vibes y'all could send me, I won't lie.
    randomlightning
    Oh, this is different. Not sure how I feel about this. That said, it doesn't seem to have fucked any story and datasheet formatting, so that's nice.
    Edit: Oh. Oh, so nettally is broken. That's no bueno. Okay. Well, for those waiting, this won't delay the next chapter of SW Quest, that's still tomorrow, but, uhhh. After that might be a while longer?
    randomlightning
    Watch new episode of X-Men 97. Get hyped to write Rulers of Krakoa. Check in on Fall of X books. Hype vanishes. It's a constant cycle
