The Spoils of War. -- Editing in Progress

Re-editing (SPAG, punctuation, changing 'Aro' to 'Rasa'), mild rewrites (sentences, paragraphs), and minor retcons (character thoughts, motivations, etc. -- nothing that changes the story, just makes it flow better, imo. And giving the chapters more personality -- especially the earlier ones that really need it).

Also, I'm doing up moodboards and editing some silent film title cards for the beginning of each of the ARCs (remember there are 3 Arcs in this story). It's been a lot of fun and hopefully all these edits and creations will culminate in the energy I need to get the next new chapter out.

Current chapters with moodboards (at the end of the chapter):

Chapter 2: Fate Intervenes

(Predicted chapters are Chapter 15: Unhappy Reunion and the final chapter of ARC 3 -- likely before the epilogue.)

Anyway.

Wish me luck. :)

First:

FF NET is being a bitch so I won't be updating there anymore for the foreseeable future. AO3 will be my only baby.

Second:

My current priorities are The Spoils of War and an unposted 30k+ one-shot that I'm beginning to think I might need a beta for, for some overarching help.

Third:

A Beautiful Lie is not abandoned. I'm just not writing it right now. (Tumblr link for latest chapter.) It will be next after my current obsession with these minor rewrites of The Spoils of War.

All other posted wips are on the backburner.

SasuHina month is coming in August, 2026, so I'll be posting for that. Beyond August, I do have several one-shots and a multi-chapter I'm working on -- ALL will be complete when posted.

KakaSaku is on my planner but not a priority.

Zutara: I will be participating in the Zutara Gift Exchange when it happens again this year and may be able to finish something for the Zutara Week. We'll see.

Last of all

Thank-you so much to everyone who has ever consumed the things I've created in all my fandoms over the years. You guys are the reason I never chucked it all in and left for good. Life is only getting harder right now -- for us all -- and it's a source of comfort to be able to come back to fandom each time and enjoy both creating and reading.

Be safe out there, please.💜
