I have about 4500 words done on the next chapter, and a revised outline for the rest of the second Arc.
Might get something out this weekend.
ATTWN Update
A bit of the muse struck and I managed to dust of the bits of the chapter I’d been working on and finish it.
The batarian history is coming along….slowly. But I should be able to get it out this month, although physiology and psychology will take a bit longer.
Another “Liara in the SA” sketch by Armesan
I have no idea why no one has done this before. Also, All Nighter Productions is awesome.
Still alive…
I have a mad and unthinking desire to try to write awkward Garrus/Miranda romance, possibly along with Tali having to merge the robot-dog with Urz to save his life and turning him into a battle-mount, and a Shepard who both Liara and Ash are in love with, and since he didn’t want to pick between them both got catty and now sleep with each other just to spite him.
There may be something wrong with my brain.
Liara Art (by Armesan)
Still not up to writing yet, though.
Art Stuff
LuckyFK did work on a painting of Garrus and Telanya : http://luckyfk.deviantart.com/art/Tel-and-Gar-498896853
And Nikita did the most awesome painting of Jiong and Susan evar:

I’ll have these in the gallery later.
Lack of updates
Sorry haven’t been around much, mother is going through a lot of medical issues right now and work is also crazy.
I’ve gotten some commissioned art done I’ll put up this weekend but it will be sometime before I do any updates to any stories.
So, a wiki
If you have not noticed, there is now a (very new and crappy) wiki on the site.
The purpose of the wiki is three fold:
- To provide a place for me to store notes and develop backstory and technology that I cannot shoehorn into an existing story but I require to build on. Some of the stuff is boring, other pieces just don’t need a place in the actual storyline and don’t fit in the documents.
- A place where a few other people can help me develop ideas and extensions for the story — in particular, my beta, Liethr, my co-author Progman, my primary feedback reader Michael1110 and the three or four readers I like to gank ideas from (AlexN7, NonSolus, RED78910, metaladdict, NarwhalWarlord, and Lay Down Hunter mostly)
- A place where I can store notes without the worry of losing all my goddamned work, which has happened more than once. I mean, seriously, what the fuck is the point of a RAID if both segments fail at the same fucking time?
Anyway. I doubt I will spend much time on it — ten minutes here and there at work every day adds up though. I can’t really get any writing done at work but I can build little bits of lore and backstory.
Working on the Naruto stuff now, to give my brain a rest. I’ll probably have another chapter of ATTWN to the betas by this weekend, and maybe more of No Single Raindrop as well. I MAY (no promises) get done with the research on batarian history this weekend, depends.
Crappy Sketch of the Week (Nov 19)
Argh.
State of the Premiseverse (Nov 2014)
Is as follows:
- OSABC I is done. I’ve revamped it up to chapter 12 and will do another 15 or so chapters when I grind to a halt in ATTWN.
- OSABC II just finished with the outline document. This still has to be revised, and there is no ETA on that.
- ATTWN is being worked on, the next two chapters. Arc I is about done, and Arc II may not kick off until next year, depends on when I get things done.
- No Single Raindrop is being worked on, I’m waiting for Liara to tell me what to write next.
- The Cerberus Files: Aliens is currently in research mode for Batarians. This tends to be a lengthy process.
- The Cerberus Files: Humans is actually waiting on the Batarian section so I don’t contradict myself when talking about the Batarian conflict.
- Fear Unrelenting is done. The other stuff I mentioned exploring in the authors notes would have been either too spoilery or has been folded into new story ideas.
- Lions in Blue and Silver is sort of on hold as I’ve run into a block. Still working on it though.
- I’m in the process of drawing up the outlines for the Council Document as proposed by Seven Seven. Not coming this year, I don’t think.
