Current Writing Focus: Furry Visual Novel (Void Dreaming)
So. Uh, hi.
Been a while. How've you been? Yeah, I know; the title. We'll get to that. I just wanted to check in first. You good? You doing well? I know I've not been around a lot, but I hope you've been having a good time. Or... uh, as good a time as you can. Times've been pretty shit, 'tis true.
Life these last few years has been a lot for me. Vast swaths of the last four could die in a fire and I'd be much better off, but the reality is that the way things have shaken out has left me in a better position than I ever thought I'd find myself in. I'm really enjoying my streaming, and it's thankfully staying pretty small so I don't get tempted to start leaning hard into it and losing the fun. I've got work. Real work, full-time and everything. And after a period of basically just... you know, NOT, I'm writing again. Not just that, but I'm actually enjoying it. It's been great, to the point that a couple months ago I started thinking what I could do to get back into the saddle in front of people, as it were.
Which sounds more exciting than it is, now that I think about it. Calm down. The bridle is staying under lock and key for now.
Basically, I had two ideas. One was to finally finish Alisha/Alan's story that I started (and then abandoned due to a combination of lack of readership and the ensuing self-worth issues) in my FCMTS stories several years ago. I ultimately decided against it because, while I do want to tell that story eventually and give some closure to it for all ten of you interested, it'd be relatively quick. Honestly, if I'd dedicated myself to that, it'd have been done within the first weeks of November. I fucking POWERED that month. I wanted something bigger. Something to really push myself. Something to maybe burn out on if I miscalculate for a second because I'm a masochist that way.
Around the same time though, I was tinkering with the idea of a serial story in the vein of what I'd once done way back when I first joined the fandom circa 2003. It would have been a fitting return to where I started twenty years earl- JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THAT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO.
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WHO THE HELL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LINEAR FLOW OF TIME I NEED TO HAVE FUCKING WORDS.
*ahem*
As I was saying, it would have been a nice return to my original writing patterns from twe-*hurk* twenty y-*huurrrrf* twenty FUCKING years ago. The old days of yore. The Tales of Sol days. Gosh, that takes me back. Did you know a fan actually made a whole tabletop roleplaying system based around that setting and those characters? Late-teens/early-20's Fae could scarcely believe that. Of course, late-teens/early 20's Fae was also going through some shit. And causing some shit. Shit in general ensued.
I promise I'm getting to the point. And here it is:
The point is called Interwoven.
Interwoven is the story of William, the son of a conquered people trying to find his place in the world he was never meant to be a part of.
Interwoven is the story of Tobias, a prince well down the line of succession wrapped up in the schemes of nobility and the powergames they play.
Interwoven is the story of Ratholarin, a kingdom of logic and reason that has cast off the superstitions of their past.
Interwoven is the story of old gods and new nations. Of war and pain. Joy and magic. Sorrow. Joy. Hatred. Love.
Interwoven is the story of people drawn together by the whims of fate... or perhaps something more powerful even than that.
Interwoven is the story of their lives' pivotal moments, and of the tragedy of their deaths.
... Interwoven is clearly also the story of me being a touch pretentious with my announcements. Let's lay it out better.
Interwoven is an adult (and occasionally sexual) serial series of stories that will be uploaded here and... other places. Every week, starting on the very first day of 2023 and every Sunday to follow, a new story in the serial will be uploaded. Each one alternates between the experiences of William and Tobias, starting as cubs and teens and developing into their lives as adulthood takes hold. Some stories will take place close together. Some will be years apart. All will be in chronological order, and it will always alternate between these two characters and their points of view as they learn and grow, making their way through pivotal points in their lives and making decisions, good and bad, that affect themselves, each other, and the world around them.
Much like my original Blood and Water series, these stories won't be edited to great precision but should be of (hopefully) decent enough quality. Unlike Blood and Water however, this is an entirely new world for my furry stories, and one that I've been tinkering at behind the scenes so far for the last year and a bit. Beyond Interwoven I have a story set roughly a thousand years earlier in a time before Ratholarin even exists that currently lacks a title. I also have an in-progress story set about a hundred years later that is operating under the working title of Big-Dicked Gay Rat Furry Porn so, you know. Look forward to that sometime, too. Both of these however are on the backburner until Interwoven is complete. Speaking of, back to that.
Fifty-one parts across seven arcs are planned for this project which, if the current wordcounts are any indication, will mean that Interwoven will ultimately stand as the longest single project I have ever worked on (and hopefully completed). Given that I started this on October 31st, you can see how I don't have the greatest turnaround time for editing. This is me pantsing upwards of three fantasy novels in the space of half a year, in order to upload a chapter once a week for practically the entirety of 2023.
I may have gone slightly mad in my time away. Anyway, when do you get your paws on it?
As I said earlier, the first part of Interwoven will be uploaded on the 1st of January 2023 just after midnight PST (this winds up being 6pm for me at this point in the year, and allows the story to go live for most of the world on Sundays). This first one will not be a single upload, however; instead, it will be the prologue, the first part, and the second part. This gets you started with William and Tobias both, along with introducing other important characters like Zane, Catherine, Eric, Fredrick and Brett. It also shows William and Tobias at their youngest. As someone who doesn't write child characters often, they are a DELIGHT. I never knew how much fun could be had with their dialogue! Anyway, the next part will be going live on the 8th of January, and will proceed once a week from there.
So they're not too far away now. I do hope you look forward to exploring the lives of William and Tobias with me in the months to come.
