This chapter kinda fought me a lot.
I had another like, 6 chapters of meandering around planned before I got to this point but I reread a lot of this arc earlier this week and realized that like...
I just want to start this out by saying that editing some of the public chapters has made me blatantly aware of just how terrible a job I did with some of them. I was in a very bad place for a bit ...
2025-01-11 20:45:16 +0000 UTC View PostDidn't realize it was Friday. My meds have reached a stable point where it's obvious I'm still depressed. The bad times - currently in a bit of a fugue - are clearly so much better than even my bes...

2025-01-07 04:38:04 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't done a trait update chapter in 40 chapters. I know because I had to go through every chapter to ensure I didn't miss stuff while making this one. I tried to add flavor so it's not just a ...
2025-01-04 07:47:40 +0000 UTC View PostI hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and such. I had a pretty rejuvenating break. I didn't get any planning done sadly, but I still really needed it. I think a break every few months is to be expected...

I accidentally wrote 4K and now it's your problem.

As always in recent times, I had a lot of fun writing this. I am a little worried about the expansive creative roots I have setup so far being a little to much to tackle in one arc, but worst happe...
2024-12-21 18:11:27 +0000 UTC View PostI just got too many plans and I'm pretty sure I can't do them all without this arc getting boring.
Woe is me, the harbinger of ideas.
Gaara plays a small part in this chapter but it's so n...
2024-12-16 12:45:37 +0000 UTC View PostSo as you may know, I edit the chapters twice. Once before posting here, and once again before posting publicly. The 7 weeks between posted chapters is a huge palate cleanser and helps me make the ...

2024-12-09 21:51:43 +0000 UTC View PostSo few important things.
This chapter's 3rd scene is pretty dark. If you are easily triggered, it might be good to approach it with caution.
Otherwise, the PCL Equation Update that happene...

2024-12-03 20:30:06 +0000 UTC View PostLike most side stories, this veers a little off course of the original prompt but still encompasses it in a way I appreciate and like. This was unanimously voted on so I put a little extra effort i...

There's a scene at the end of this that needed to be in past tense. I definitely noticed I haven't written past tense in years. Jeez.
Also emotional, so you know. Expect that.

2024-11-19 03:09:17 +0000 UTC View PostI tried writing this chapter with a bit more of a confident tone.
I think I've fallen too hard into using Sakura's rambly headspace and while I do think it has a cool effect, I would very much l...
