Hello everyone, If you're reading this, I hope you've been enjoying one or more of my stories. For those who are following me, THANK YOU I tend to say what's coming next in the artist's comments sections rather than post journals, but I thought having something on my front page to say what I'm working on might be helpful. So here it is:    1.       First major project (DQVIII) - What I'm working on now :)          a.       Rewrite                                                   i.      Volume A – Finished (for now)                                                    ii.     Volume B – Finished (for now)              

Okay, it's confirmed. No-one's got back to me, so I'm going to assume that everyone's fine with me starting over. I'm moving all of my old posts with my old story into scraps, and I'll start posting my revised version instead. I'll try and post something every week like last time (on Saturday midnight), but I've only rewritten the prologue and the first chapter so far, and there's a lot of work left, so that schedule might slip. By about a year, depending on how busy I am and how much I can fit in around my job. For now, I'm posting the last segment of the old version, just to tie it off a bit more neatly. Happy New Year everyone!

Hi all, Just in case someone doesn't see my author's notes, once I've finished posting the next chapter or so I'm considering doing a major re-write of the story I've written so far. In particular I've come to dislike the 'omniscient narrative' style of the story, and I think I've got too much telling and not enough showing. Trying to stick too closely to the in-game dialogue has left some of the scenes clunky and laboured, while others just seem to drift with no purpose. I've tried to fix some of these flaws as I go, but that just seems to create bumps in quality and further breaks the flow of the story. Naturally, a re-write would mean my
