Info for the future

I decided to give you guys some information on what I'll be up to the next while, split across the stories I have. This is a long post, so if you aren't interested in some stories I ask you to at a minimum skip to the final section ;)

Nothing but bones

So, NBB3 has been released, and I'm working on undead AI-2, which is a much shorter work. I don't know exactly when it will be finished, though I'm hoping to release it before Christmas. Beyond this, I'm not going to write more Nothing but bones for a while as I have too many unfinished stories that I want to wrap up. That means that the Nothing but bones universe will be on a hiatus for a minimum of a year.

Minglings

This story is near to my heart, and as it's roughly 2/3's finished, it pains me to leave it lying much longer. I'll continue my editing of the original, increasing my pace until I hopefully do 2 to 3 chapters a week. Then, when I reach the part I left off, I'll go through the chapters I never got around to releasing, which will slow me down a bit. After that, I'll start releasing the rest of the story. Do bear in mind that Minglings was supposed to be a single, long story- roughly 500 pages. I have a well-defined end to it and it wont be a 'run-on' story.

Kernstalion

Kernstalion2 is almost done, and I'm going to let Est rest for a while after that. I will re-read the entire story (currently named book1 and book2) and try and decide how to cut it up into more reasonable chunks. To give you an idea on why: right now, the entire story is 2000 pages. Sadly, I'm not financially strong enough to have two 1000-page books edited, as this would cost around 2000$ per book at a minimum. Instead, I'm going to split it up into 4 or 5 books. I've also learned a few things from NBB. I won't release Kernstalion on amazon until, at a minimum, two of those books are ready, and I can start on the third at a moment's notice. Beyond this, I'll let the sales of those books determine if I'll find more things I want to write about in Kernstalion- though I'm open to suggestions.

Future projects

Now, as most of the above has to do with editing and other shenanigans, I still need to continue writing new things to continue improving my craft.

During the moments I had holidays or was in a rut on what to write for NBB3, I've taken the time to start a few new stories, some of which have over 20 chapters already. As I like them all equally, I'm going to let you, my dear patrons, decide what you want to read next. I'll post one edited chapter of two stories I have lying around. Leave a reply with what you think is most interesting. If you don't find either appealing, let me know too and I will post a chapter of something I have less backlog off. The story you pick will get roughly one chapter per week.
