I’m about to start writing the final battle between Luzurial and Eparlegna, which comes in roughly two phases.  Let me remind you, that hasn’t been written yet.
Combined word count of chapter and epilogue as of now: 13,115
I will in no way be surprised if I hit 20,000 by the time I’m done.  I would just like to apologize to everyone in advance.
For the curious, the previous longest chapter of the story was Chapter 7, at 13,043 words.

so my state just issued a ‘stay at home’ order for everyone except essential people. so i had to go on my DAY OFF to WORK to get my HALL PASS and badge just in case they start checking people out if they really need to be outside or not! yea fun fun

Logan meets Duncan for the first time in The Fomorian Crown haha.

So, yeah. My dog died. So sad :(

Anybody else feel like writing a story about their favorite charaters dealing with this virus or is it just me! a new BBT fic might be in the works!

Soooo. Might be back earlier than expected. Project is almost certainly on life-support/ DOA due to public health scare. And spring training essentially canceled.
 

Alright, folks, Part 9 of WitS is officially done and I’ve sent JayDee their advance copy!  I’ll wait to see if they spot anything horribly wrong with it, but otherwise it’ll be up as soon as they read it!

Okay, folks, here we go.  Deep breath...Chapter 9 of The Woman in the Statue is coming soon.  And by soon I mean I’m hoping for Wednesday.
Bear in mind that, as I’ve been writing it, I’ve decided that the finale is going to be two parts, so the actual end of the story will be Chapter 10.  All titles in the chapter index have been updated to reflect this (Part x of 10, in other words).
 
Now let’s all hope I don’t screw this up.

gosh, i cant believe i am 35 now. scary! lol 

::runs through, screeching like a pterodactyl on a bender, wearing a sparkly tutu and dragon wings….::  

Its that time of year again

 

Head, meet desk.  Desk, meet head.  Repeat.  Again.  Again.  Again.

Saw someone complain that women characters only ever get written to the Virgin, Mother or Whore archtypes. It’s a fair point about poor characterisation and representation in a lot of media. I am glad to see I avoided that by managing Virgin, Mother, Whore and Lupa.

so fantastic news that i wish i could post to facebook but I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNTIE FOR REAL! my blood sister is 10 weeks prego! cant post on facebook because my sister told me not too but i am bouncing off the damn walls!!! 

Almost done doing one last major edit for Lichlove
namely a rename as Resurgent. In addition to adding more details and a chapter or two.
The sequel is Throne Of Asphodel. 
And the end of the Trilogy: TBA Getting closer to the endroad and learning the intracies of self-published writer Haha.

Me: “I’m gonna read and review one halloween fic a day from the AFF halloween party!”
Sudden real world stuff taking up free time: “Bend the fuck over JD.”
...fuck, hope I can read another one tomorrow at least!

Had to share this article about the benefits of our collective-favorite hobby:

Operation GetFired  is not going well.  I must up my SnarkGame. 
 

ok so i need prayers, my mother has stage 3 kidney disease, and my uncle had a stroke last night. i swear someone put a curse on my whole damn family. bad things keep happening! i wish i knew who did it or a counter curse or a way to break the curse! this is starting to piss me off!!!

So I’m working on Part Nine of The Woman in the Statue (the goal is to be done around the 18th), and I wanted to describe the lobby of the Van Dijk building, but how big is it?
Now I could just bullshit this...but you all know I won’t.
So the building is about 300 meters tall and is a regular octagon in cross section (meaning all eight sides are the same length).  If the lobby in which Chloe, Luzurial and the assault team fight hybrids takes up one entire side (“edge” in geometric terms), how big across is it?
Well, if we assume the building has a base diameter of one sixth of its height, then it’s 50 m in diameter and thus has a circumradius (the radius of the circle connecting all eight vertices/corners of the octagon) of 25 m.  Each eighth of the octagon can be described as an isosceles triangle with two sides 25 m long (since those “sides” are the circumradius) meeting at an angle of 45 degrees.  So now I have to find the missing side.
Just to remind everyone that I am not a math major, I literally had to use Google to be reminded that an isosceles triangle is just two right triangles smooshed together, which I really should have remembered from 9th Grade Geometry.  Anyway, since the sine (0.3826834323650897717284599840304) of one angle (22.5 degrees) of a right triangle is equal to the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse (25 m), and then we multiply that result (9.56708580912724429321149960076) by two to get the end of the isosceles…
So the lobby is about nineteen meters wide.  Why do I do this to myself?
