#darkacey rambles

Act II of Who Remembers a God is currently sitting at about 80,100 words. I expect it will probably get around 15-30k more in order to fully wrap it up and be ready for posting, and The Editor (my cowriter of the Sechs Empire AU) has reviewed 19 out of 34 chapters so far.

I posted a short fic about Gideon and Oswald, "The Dark Dragon's Keeper." It can be read on its own, but it also serves as another mini prequel since it takes place right after Oswald was defeated at Kelve Lava Ruins by Ari and Scarlett and taken into custody by Gideon.

Editor and I are trying out a new beta reader/editor for our Sechs Empire Hetalia AU, so hopefully this will be the kick we need to finish this behemoth and get to revising/posting it.

My kink AU for GoA is making good progress and has a new beta reader. Once I knock out maybe 2-3 more chapters, I think I can start posting it.

Life updates

Still unemployed... but I joined an RF art server and made a bunch of new friends, so that's been fun!

On the flip side, I could have Lucas just… show up in town. The man’s been around since forever, basically, so it’s easy to imagine him visiting at least as a tourist. More likely, though, he’d go to the Univir to document what remains of their civilization. A project of that scope would require at least a couple months, if not years, considering how easily he gets sidetracked.

I’ve posted up through Chapter 10 of Who Remembers a God on AO3; Chapter 11 is going up on Monday (assuming I don’t forget)

Finished writing the final battle of Atohl’s End, finally bringing me to the closing of Act I.

I have Big Plans for Act II, mainly being that I’m diverging heavily from RF5’s canon plot going forward. I hope y’all enjoy it 😅

I’m moving into my new apartment this Thursday, the 1st, which means I have to finish packing almost everything by Monday evening (I’m working Tues/Wed). If the update for WRaG is late, this is why.

Current landlord Karen still hasn’t found new fucking tenants despite saying she was “in the process of approving” some weeks ago

I’ve been enjoying totk during my breaks. Just finished the Rito segment, and I’m slowly working my way up to the Gorons now.

Playing totk made me miss my characters from Not My Namesake, and I reread parts of it — if I had known even half of what ended up happening to the kingdom, I probably would have changed some things. As it stands, I think NMN still stands pretty well on its own.

This does make finishing its sequel harder, though, because I want to include all of the new stuff. But that would contradict my own canon. So… I might just handwave it, or make a note explaining what changes I would have made or added, but I’m NOT going to try revising NMN itself. There’s no point to retread old paths solely to make it perfectly canon compliant again.

I’m very active in certain discord servers (hi mutuals lol), but I’m mostly a lurker on bsky. DMs are open on both as of this post.
