Hiya to anyone who reads this! I hope you're doing alright!
Firstly, happy holidays! It's been a long, stressful year for me, as I'm sure it has been for many of you. I'm proud of all of your for persevering and making it through as well as you did. Here's to an even better 2023!
I know I haven't updated LoHS in a while. Between original fiction projects, university, and life in general, I haven't put in the work on it. Honestly? I don't think there are any readers who care about it. But I care about it, and that's good enough for me. I hope to start working on it again, even if only for 15 minutes a week. Let's have a go at this once again.
Okay, so here's the deal.
I said I was going to do Leader of House Starswirl on the 20th of each month, but I'd like to change that claim. I'm now going to aim for at least one chapter every two months, but the reality will be "when I get it done". I'm still working on it, but I have a lot to do outside writing, and there's short fics I want to do as well. Gonna cut off the promise now, but don't worry, it's still going to be coming at some point!
I think it would be prudent to discuss my plans for LoHS. A pattern has already emerged, but I'll say it anyway: I intend to release one chapter a month, on the 20th of the month. This gives me ample time to look over my writing while keeping track of everything else in my life. It's also the only longfic I'll work on right now. I want to be able to give it my attention, so I'll only dedicate myself to one large project at a time.
I was incredibly dissatisfied with the chess scene in "Meeting of the Four", so I took the time to edit the chapter. While this shouldn't change the overall story, I do believe that it does a lot of good.
I set up an anthology for my Quills and Sofas submissions. They aren't very good or polished, but they're written in an hour and fifteen. I don't know what else I'd expect.
My first chapter on this site is up! I hope you guy enjoy reading this story as much as I'm enjoying writing it. I'm not used to sharing my work with a wide audience, so I'm hoping that this can be a learning experience for me.
Here we go.
