This is my baby! It's a little complicated to say when I started.. .
The CONCEPT started in 2019. I started the overall plot for a D&D game, actually! The game is still ongoing.
The WRITING started last July 1st (so a year and a few months ago) when someone drew fanart of two characters I was telling them about, and inspired a chapter. Then I wrote two, three... there's so much now. It's basically the plot of my D&D campaign, in parallel to the campaign, as a non-D&D story, with different characters.
It's really a passion project, I'd LOVE to get some opinions! Am updating daily until my birthday, Sept 18th, after which I will pause updates for a few days as 'part 1' will be over.
