While the next chapter is outlined fully, writing it up is somewhat of a challenge due to the way I&#8217;ve structured things.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not 100% sure what the timeline will be for additional stuff. Once I get past the big mess at Ilium it will be easier to write the intervening chapters, but there&#8217;s some very ugly consequences for the changes I&#8217;ve made to canon and I have to figure out how to write stuff in about them now, not later. We&#8217;ve all seen in ME3 how a failure to lay groundwork blows up on you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve spent some time playing ME:A and had several people ask me if I&#8217;d be writing anything about it. So far, I&#8217;m very pleased with the much more realistic tone, the mystery of the setting, the focus on exploration, and what not. The aliens are also far more &#8230; believable than previous efforts. That being said, anything I would do along those lines would be even more out of phase with canon than OSABC, and frankly the Scourge looks like out of control Godpower, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll have to see.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to reiterate a call for artists &#8212; even if you are not one yourself, if you personally know one who is active on DeviantArt or has a public display of their works for view, i would be interested. Please note that due to some issues I&#8217;ve had with previous artists, I would prefer they have a public showing of their work on a widely trafficked site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I&#8217;m now on vacation.
