#general update

By the Blade, We Are Bound

The next chapter of this story is mostly ready. You will find me using that word a lot through this post: mostly/almost. The bulk of the chapter is done but it needs some serious editing. It’s sitting at 3,506 words but I’m not sure I like the length of the last chunk. So it might end up being a little longer than that.

Drifter

At 6,291 words, this is shaping up to be the longest Drifter chapter of them all ! Ignoring First Concert, which doesn't really count. It’s almost there but, again, the end needs some work. Seems to just go by too quick, end too suddenly, and there’s some dialogue I need to fix. But I quite like this chapter, so hopefully I can get it fixed soon. Got a bit of Vanilla in this one!

Eggman’s Notes

As of yet, there is no new story ready for this series. There are three that I have started but I haven’t gotten around to completing any of them. One in particular is going to take some real doing... The one main one I’m working on is a regular observation story. The other is Eggman’s side of a scene from These Inhibitors’ Flaws - not spoiling which yet.

And the last is one that everyone is probably waiting for because I’ve been so vague about what happened. I have not yet decided which side of Fleetway’s creation I want to show off first, Sonic’s or Eggman’s. I’m still debating and so have been working on neither story instead. I’ll try and get to it eventually. But I also found a song that works so much better than the one I had originally picked out for the song fic about Fleetway (which I have already planned the story around) and… now I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth restructuring, if I should write two, or just write a normal oneshot at this point and relegate the song inspirations to the notes instead. It might get more people to read it, so maybe I’ll have to abandon my old plans and go with that.

Help Me… Please!

I just finished the next chapter for this yesterday! 3,695 words. I was up until half three in the morning, so you guys better like it, damn it! I’m kidding but like… please enjoy it. I like the way the chapter ends and I’m building to some stuff.

I did have this whole complicated idea for the lore that I made a while ago and now I… don’t really like it. Which has kinda made me scared for when I get to explanations of stuff because it’s just shit now and I don’t have any other ideas. I just feel like it’s a very disappointing, shitty conclusion to a story I’ve really been enjoying the rewrite of. I need to have a sit down and try and fix it but I’m not currently sure how to do that.

I Don’t Mind Seeing Where This Goes

This is another series that I haven’t started the next story for yet. I have a few story plans but I feel like I need one or two in between the current and the next one so… we’ll see. I’ll have a think soon.

I Live to Rule by the Sword

As always, this is somehow the story that I have the most updates ready for. Granted, this time it’s only two but still. I’m almost always prepared for this one and I’m not sure why. I do wanna do a lot with this story though so maybe the impatience is getting the best of me and I keep sneaking my way back here instead of working on everything else. The chapters are 3,728 words and 4,118 respectively. There’s a reason that second one is longer and it might get a touch longer in editing. I did a lot of research for that one and have still probably gotten a whole load of stuff wrong. Everything probably. But I tried, I just want you to know that.

Primal Instinct

I lied! There’s two chapters waiting for this too! 3,673 words and 3,294. That second one is not quite up to snuff yet, mostly because of the first half. I’ll give you a tiny spoiler: it’s Amy’s perspective that I’m struggling with here. I love the second half of the chapter but I did a lot of research for the first part and it needs some serious editing. Also, I struggle to write Amy so… that’s gonna be fun to try and fix.

For a story that started very slowly and had a lot of gaps in updates, it’s really become a fun one to write. I’m glad too because Unleashed is my all time favourite game so I’m so happy to have a proper story to pay tribute to it. There’s something about feral Sonic that gives me the warm and fuzzies; I love this fluffy little fuck. I used to doodle his design for the story all the time so I’m glad he’s finally been put to words.

Running on Steam

I’ve run out of updates here too but I am hoping to make a start on the next chapter possibly soon. Today, if I’m in the mood, but we’ll see. I have a plan for the next chapter, so I do have a starting point; hopefully that will prevent me from getting stuck. But I eventually have to get these two through a police blockade and um… gotta say, I’m struggling on how exactly to make that happen, ha.

These Inhibitors’ Flaws

Chapter ready! Wooooo! I know this is my biggest story, so that should hopefully make some of you pretty happy. Not sure it’s the most satisfying though or the continuation I’m sure a lot of you were expecting. There’s some brother stuff there though, so maybe that’ll make up for it? It’s 3,573 words but it needs some real editing. There’s a lot of dialogue to sift through towards the end…

When to Fight, When to Wait/The Mystery of the Mobian Royals

3,599. So damn close to a round number! Oh well. This chapter should be ready-ish. Almost. It needs a little something but I’m not sure what yet. It’s an interesting chapter though, I hope. Getting to some more plot finally. What are we on C plot? D? I don't know.

I did start a oneshot/multichapter story(?) while on holiday but... I didn't write much of it and I kinda gave up on the idea. It was beach related but I didn't think it was interesting enough, so I kinda half-scrapped it. It's still around just probably not gonna be anything. I might post what I have so far here at some point to see what people think.

Anyway, sorry this was long but they always are. Let me know which one(s) you’re most excited for! I mean, if you want to. I like making these big comprehensive update posts to keep you guys in the loop but I’m not sure if any of you find them particularly interesting. I’ll probably still keep making them though. It breaks up the usual monotony of the “this is being updated tomorrow” posts I usually make. Those are kinda pointless huh? But then, without them, I probably wouldn’t post all that much. I don't do sneak peeks anymore because people didn't really like those. And I also don't doodle as much as I used to. The rest of my time is dedicated to all the stories I have to update, so smaller pieces for Tumblr have kinda fallen to the wayside.

I don't really know what to post anymore to be honest.
