Stripes and Chains Revamp
7 years ago
So today marks the first day in over two years that I'll be updating my journal. If you turn your attention to my gallery you'll notice that the entirety of Stripes and Chains past chapter 1 has been removed.
Why?
This is because I am revamping the story. Do note that this is not a retconning. Past stories have been saved to my hard drive and are still available to view and read on my Weasyl account. Weasyl will be updating differently now that I know they support PDF files. SnC is undergoing a small rewrite. The story itself will be expanded on between chapters 5 and 7. Benjamin and the rest of the cast will be receiving more character development. Past chapter 5 things will be a bit different. Pacing will be different, characters will be expanded, new side stories will be posted. Rest assured though that the themes and events to take place in later chapters will return but with a new veneer.
The purpose is because I had written that a year had passed between chapters 5 and 7. Looking back this was severely unsatisfactory and lazy on my part. We never got to witness what really happened during that year. Now you will. Chapters 2 through 5 are staying much the same as they were but they will be receiving an update in writing style. I'm not much better than I was before, but sufficiently so that I feel what was there was not up to my new personal standard. I kept rereading my work and noting how things could be better written or better detailed. Look for these chapters to return all polished and shiny in the following weeks. The next chapter is already four pages out in what I hope to be 12 to 20 pages. It will be added along with chapters 2-5 once those have been refurbished.
Also, I'm going to be making folders and categorizing every thing.
Please excuse my mess in the meantime and for those of you who have held out in the hopes of my return, thank you so much for your support!

I wanted to read those other chapters since the only ones I had gotten to read were Chapters 1, 9 and 14 and I only discovered SaC two weeks ago...!
