That's an exciting topic!
There are a lot of moments I would love to get out there, but for now...
The end of chapter 3, I think, cause there's an important shift in N'Arahn, my furious demonlord.
But since my story is, wait, what was the word? Slowburn? Ah, sorry, English is not my native language. :sweat_smile: Well, all the processes, especially those of character/ emotions/ growing are quite slow, so it all takes its time. 🤷


I've got several, which is great news! The "Red Order" mega-arc/season I plan to have more action and maybe animations. Whoo!
I'll give a few hints on what's coming: cocky Aseel, firecracker tomboy/human, Broodist duck, invasion?

I had planned to have it all conclude by a certain holiday this year like a maniac, but I've decided to pace myself, maybe a year and a half's worth of episodes, not including fillers and breaks.

(Things will slow down in "The Brown Order", which is all about romance/love/relations, and then the concluding "Black Order", where secrets, betrayal and drama ramps up to the nth degree, YAS! but gonna be a couple years, if I can maintain focus)

For now, there's still the matter of hoodunit to close, and some setup eps before the next season officially takes off.

I also can't wait for the chapter 'Peekaboo,' as it's a big turning point for my leads in "Damsel in the Red Dress."

I should stop sharing spoilers:

The restaurant is more crowded than I expected for a weeknight, bubbling with bodies like a pot of mortal soup at a rolling boil. Small groups of teens and twenty-somethings hem us in on both sides, like Kattar and I are the extraneous tide in a little pool surrounded by flesh and bones as numerous as the grains of sand. Everything is sound, ricocheting into my skin like a thousand pint-sized kamikazes exploding in minute amounts of tranquil panic.

Someone. Joking and debating - too little too late - why they should have gone out for Chinese or Mexican instead. Someone laughing at a companion’s failed dye job that made them look like a ginger-haired skunk. Complaining about totally aggravating partners and how totally ‘starving’ they are though they’re less than twenty minutes away from dinner at this point.

At least three sets of parents with pre and grade-schoolers are ordering an early dinner while trying to convince their irascible offspring, rancorously crying for McDonald’s, to try something new. One set actually brought a Happy Meal with them for their toddler, and that’s as ridiculous as it is very probably illegal, though nobody but me really seems to mind.

Kattar is fidgeting uncomfortably, unnecessarily intent on his menu, but I’m sure it has nothing to do with the cantankerous kids, who at this point, are throwing themselves on the floor.

I’m also sure he’ll never tell me why, even if I ask, so I try my best to ignore it like I ignore the tantrum.

To be honest, chapter 4 and the onwards! A lot of twist, even I wrote it while in shock!

Just updated chapter 4 where the facts will slowly torturing Cenric and the characters... It just updated around 2 hours ago.

For reference:

There are a lot of things ohhh boy. My number one is introducing Ezra, and Idk how to even describe them? They're 5'2, willing to slash your finger if you touch them, and is both a friend and foe. Overall, they are one of my favorites to write. They're also NB, which I think adds a pinch of diversity.

Also some stuff with two of the MCs. I can't go into detail without exposing some stuff, but some of them are not the species they are thought to be.

I can't wait to introduce the characters that will be a part of Vlad's group. Every single update we get closer to it, and my heart beats faster with a mix of anticipation/happiness.

Hmm. When Rip takes on a horde of Frost Giants and meets the forcibly evolved Queen Frosty Mama.
That's gonna be a blast to draw.

Oh and when Rip goes 100% Leviathan's Wrath...I got some visuals planned that are gonna be dope.

Honestly, I can’t wait to write about Spoiler 1 and spoiler 2 (not saying names yet lmao)
Their relationship is a terrifying clusterfuck, spoiler 1 is a genuinely horrid person, but that’s what makes it fun, amirite?=]

I genuinely don’t know how to write healthy romance, I should really get someone to help me with that

oh, if you'd like advice on how to write healthier relationships in your stories. I'm actually working on making some writing courses now, so practicing helping people with their writing would be good for me anyway

I'm excited to get to ch 40 where James gets an unexpected visitor while waiting for wee wains to knock at the door for Halloween candy. We take a turn out of our Earth-adjacent realities into the supernatural. If I could get my beta reader following a schedule I'd be posting two chapters a month instead of one but we'll get there.

Also super excited to eventually publish book 4 where a particular Norse god makes an appearance. What better companion for a god in exile than an Irish lass with a strong faith in the fae?
