December 11, 2003: I started writing Aura's Jewel.
January 16, 2004: Chapter 11 of Aura's Jewel was the last chapter posted.
Hopefully there weren't too many of you that turned away when Nathan became Jessica. Made for an interesting twist, at least. But that's partly just an excuse to hide the fact that I have an actual interest in transgender transformations. I just don't normally let this interest crop up very often. People would assume too much about me. But enough about me, let's talk about the story.
Great way to cancel a story, huh? So many things are left unresolved, even moreso with what just happened in this chapter; Nathan being stuck as Jessica, the jewel stolen, and the mysterious voice. And here it seemed like we were finally almost to the Valley of Borea, where Aura's sister was supposed to be waiting. It's almost like a season-ending cliffhanger on a TV show, with the next season cancelled before the cliffhanger could be resolved. Man, I hate those. Season-ending cliffhangers, I mean. I'm fine with regular cliffhangers.
I remember that I had actually started working on the next chapter (which is lost, so I can't show it), but I was hit with writer's block. In fact, I think it shows in this chapter. It's pretty lacking compared to the last couple of chapters, I think. And so, on top of the story not having enough interest, I decided it wasn't really worth continuing. Could I continue it now? Possibly, but I have to wonder how different the writing would be. Three years is plenty of time for one's writing style (and skill) to take a dramatic change. I'd almost be willing to bet it'd be like a completely different writer taking this up.
Author's Note
When I started working on this chapter, I only knew one thing. Nathan would change his form to something unexpected. The hard part was coming up with some sort of conflict. I'd say this was the most difficult chapter so far. It took two hours to create. Which is a long time for a 6-minute chapter. Well, at least I have a better idea of what I want to do with the next chapter.
BTW, in case you think that having a guy turn into a female is wierd...you're right. But then I had to do something to make the change back to human interesting.
