Journeys - 9

Gnomeregan is a strange place, not that it's a surprise to anyone who's met a gnome.
Beta's still on holiday, so any mistakes are entirely my fault.

Since we're in Gnomeregan, have an attached image for Frazzle. Decent gnomes can now be generated – and it even gets the three fingers right.

--------------------------------------...

Journeys - 8

Late is becoming unfortunately normal. I should probably change my blurbs since they're clearly inaccurate...

Also, unbeta'd; Trestira is away till the 25th and I'm an awful self-proofreader at the best of times.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Journeys - K,J

I will make one update a week. Whether I get a second out will, for the moment, be dependant on whether I have the chapters ready beforehand – building a buffer is important both for stability and quality.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ...

Journeys - 7

Somehow, some way, the first five paragraphs of the second scene took longer than the entire rest of the chapter combined. Nothing worked to start it.

"Clara, where the bloody hell did you go..." I gr...

Depression sucks

Depression sucks. This is something anyone, anywhere, who has dealt with it in any capacity understands intimately.

I'm away from what was ruining my life, safe in a new home, and happy. I have money, I have my mother, I eat well and don't have any reason to be afraid of anything.

So, what happens? I spend most of the week listless a...

Journeys - 6

Sorry for the delay, lack of sleep delayed it at first, then the Thornspeakers decided they really needed two chapters so my attempts to fit it all into one... failed. We'll get to see Ulfar next weekend – along with seeing where Jaina's at in an interlude.

Oh, and the attached image is a new Gwen generation – more or les...

Journeys-5

We were just finishing up our meal at the Snug Harbour – Klinar had chosen to treat me, and it was at least decent – and dealing with Taelia and Finnall's combined desire for more stories when Cyrus returned. He wasn't alone, however; not only did he have Lord Waycrest with him, but half a dozen marines escorting Lady K...

Journeys - 4 (Expanded/Edited)

Ended up not liking Journeys 4 in hindsight, mostly just how it started, so I went back over it. Part of the reason for today's delay.
And probably tomorrow's as well.

First scene is entirely new, second and third have only minor continuity edits. Nothing changes about the scope or result of the chapter as a whole – just flow.
---...

Journeys - 4

I nodded stiffly to the marine that had been escorting me and took a deep breath as I eyed up the ornate door before me. I didn't want to have this meeting, if I hadn't run into Katherine last night – seen her alongside Finnall and Klinar – I wouldn't have agreed to it at all. Not without Darius here as well as Vivi.

Journeys - 3

Daelin Proudmoore's words hung in the air like bared fangs, his spiteful declaration that  we were little more than unwelcome intruders in his eyes cast back as echoes by the grand audience chamber we stood in. Not one of the Kul Tiran nobles were surprised by his outburst, not a single one of his guards – not...

Journeys-2

"There's no wind anymore, so why are there waves?" Trix asked curiously, looking out across the glistening reflections of the moon and stars that lay upon the open ocean as she hung up her sodden shift on the railing of the ship. "Even if I can't see them I can feel them. They're there, under the surface."

Journeys - 1 (Edit/Expanded)

A/N: Sorry about the repost, but in order to get back into things I needed to re-do this chapter. The ending segment is entirely new and what was causing hangups on writing the next one; I struggled, hard, with the transition to being on the ship.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Quick Update

In the new house! No more hotel rooms!

Sitting on the floor using mobile internet and my mother's laptop, but that'll be remedied within a week. All's gone well and things are moving on from where they were; still alive, and honestly itching to write after being stuck without the ability for so long.

And, uh, I forgot t...

Housing Update

Good news, albeit news that means the haitus is going to continue longer than I'd like.

Firestly, the time I've spent in temporary accomodation – a rather nice hotel, if I'm honest – has been the least stressful month of my life in... years. The lack of any kind of proper setup to do writing is annoying, but it is what it is.

Sec...

Update

Really, I should have been doing these monthly. Or at least trying to keep in contact.

To say that the situation has not improved would be an understatement; my grandmother, in no uncertain terms, chose the man who threatened me over me. This is the last night we'll be here in this house as, with his return now that his bail conditions are...

Friday Update

Sadly, I did not manage to complete any chapters like I'd hoped. Or even get much in the way of any writing done.

To make a painfully long story short, my mother and I are looking at moving out at last, and will, hopefully, see me somewhere that I am no longer so stressed before christmas. Here's hoping.

The process of moving is, in ...

No chapters

Sorry, there won't be any chapters this weekend. 

There isn't anything particularly new causing difficulties, but I simply didn't get any writing done and can't keep forcing them through at the last minute.

I desperately wanted to keep up with the schedule, but it's slowly fallen apart and it's time I admit that and that I'm har...

Journeys - 1

I hummed lightly as I ran my fingers through my hedge's leaves, brushing against branches and feeling them curl at my touch, trying to latch on and bind me – before they realised who I was. Just a little more vicious than yesterday, and with a few blackwald thornvines sprouting in the gloom beneath to make a nasty surprise for anyone unwanted ...

Reunification - 4 - Added Scene

New scene at the start of Reunification - 4 added due to the backlash over Lorna's behaviour towards Gwen around Tulvan.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We will take your advice into consideration, Lord Candren." Liam answered carefully, mulling over the benef...

Reunification - 8

The full chapter this time; first section is the same, albeit with beta, the rest is unbeta'd. Sorry about that, I was writing past their bedtime.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darius paused looking over his men's camp at the sound of a familiar cry an...

Reunification - 8.5

Sorry for the extended delay, Sunday decided to be headache day. This is the first half of the chapter with the rest coming later today when I finish my sleep. In the meantime you get to enjoy the puppy-fluff.

Beta'd version will come with the rest of the chapter.

Next week will be the planned arc-end half-break, so only one chapter ...

Reunification - 7

Decided I didn't like Rokhstrom's section and rewrote it. Next chapter is going to be late in the day as a result.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Don't wear her out, ya hear." Robin ordered, leaning on the new fence as a James-led Hazel plodd...

Resistance - 6 - Final

"That was Tortolla. That was Tortolla the Wise, Eldest of All." Anessa whispered, still dumbfounded and occasionally reaching up to touch her forehead in disbelief. Amusing as it was to see the girl so awed, Aderic was simply glad that the girl was capable enough to keep her hippogriff on task, following Caedan and Featherstorm over the...

Resistance - 5

"I must counsel against this." Archdruid Staghelm said, and though he spoke to Malfurion foremost, his gaze was firmly fixed upon Jaina; narrowed glowing eyes pierced into her with thinly veiled anger. He knew that the suggestion had come from her, though not how or why she had said it. "We have prepared for the coming battle. Even our ...

Reunification-6

Seeing the men – and women – he wanted to talk to, Jack sidled up to the table with his drink and slipped into one of two spare seats. The old Hanging Barrel was busier than usual, what with the soldiers still hanging about with coin to spend, but there was plenty of space for the guildmasters to have their table. "So, what'd'you think about...

Status update

So, after the stress of the public release and the response to it, my general life problems – being threatened with eviction by my grandmother over the police prosecuting my aunt's boyfriend for threatening to stab me – things didn't go so great this last week.

And then I caught something. Yesterday, Saturday, was one long coughing fi...

Reunification-2 Darius Scene Addition

After all of the fuss on the forums I said I'd add a Darius scene to Reunification-2 to make sentiments a little clearer. Here it is a few days early for you guys.

Comes directly before the Godfrey Execution scene at the start of the chapter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Reunification-5

Tommen put a hand over his eyes, shielding them from the sun, as he leaned on his shepherd’s crook. Hard to tell if he were seeing things in the endless green hills that went out west – he'd almost thought somebody were comin' down, but Old Jon's wagon got hit by bandits out of Alterac a couple weeks back. Not that he were sorry about that; ...

Resistance-4

The wind shifted and stilled amongst the tall trees – what masts they would make, should they take seeds home to the valley and grow them there – and Brelan held up a hand. "Halt!" He called out, bringing the column of tired sailors behind him to a stop. Some collapsed to their knees, and even some of his brothers began to lean upon their st...

Reunification-4

Had my week gone well, this would have been part of the last chapter. Once again sorry for the delay on posting.

Beta reader is alseep so I'll sort that out tomorrow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From this day forth, as this crown lies upon...
