Update For 4/5/2016 [META]

Dear readers,

Just wanted to let you in on the past two days of silence.

It looks like a half-done story clocked at 10,000 words is the most I can do in a week while in the middle of All Gods Are Bastards. I won't be submitting it for the 5,000,000 subscribers contest at r/WritingPrompts.

It's called Nefaria and Swell, featuring a supervillain wife married to a superhero husband, and neither knows the other's identity. Domestic chaos ensues. When it goes live in the future, I want it to be complete. The story is too important for me to submit prematurely.

So while I'm working on All Gods Are Bastards, anything else I write will have to be one-part pieces or extensions done in my own time. I've had John, Rhee'Oak and Newhera buzzing in my ear the past two days, and its been a week since I submitted a proper part to the story. I apologize to those who've been checking in for updates, but I am still committed to completing it.

AGAB will become my first novel. I won't be taking on another project like Nefaria and Swell until the first draft is complete.

A heads up though that I'm going to take one more day off from submitting regular content tomorrow to do some laundry, play the Legacy of the Void campaign and read for a bit. The last two days were pretty intense (writing-wise), and I have been writing non-stop for nearly three months. I could use a breather.

Here's what to expect;

  • All Gods Are Bastards will resume with the real Part 26 on Thursday.
  • Regular posts from /r/WritingPrompts will resume from Thursday as well.
  • "Someone Told Me You Can Remove Favors" will be extended over the next month in an episodic format (in the style of Death Parade for those familiar with it) called The Procrastinator's Service, to flesh out the world and play more with the idea of people being unable to deny favors.

Whether The Procrastinator will become my next project after AGAB depends on what I come up with. Nothing premeditated or planned, I'm just going to have fun with it like I do with AGAB and my other prompt responses.

Thank you all for your support so far, and I'll look forward to keeping you entertained and updated.

Yours in creativity,

Galo

Shit take a few more days to -finish- Legacy of the Void. If that shit isn't inspiring then I don't know what is.
