Projects Update

Picking up an old story (The Dungeon Appraiser) was WAY easier and more rewarding than I expected it to be. I’ve shelved the two new stories I was just about to start for now (and taken them down from everywhere since I don’t know when I’ll try to actually start them). I’m going to focus on the She Was Too Low Level stories as I start slowly working other older/partially finished stuff into the story rotation. That’s what I SHOULD have been doing from the beginning of my genre shift to fantasy stuff and what I’ll try to do in fall when I make the genre shift back to superheroine stuff.

the next project I’ll be picking back up is “The Fall of Almery Keep”. It was a poll driven series I did a few years ago and from this vantage point it was where I really settled on themes/mainstays of my Alaria setting. It eventually introduced The Forest Witch who is a character I’ve worked into a lot of stories since then (although many of them have never been finished/seen publication). That same story introduced Dunla Dhuarcain as a side character, but is someone who has gone on to appear (mostly as a version of her ghost known as “The Girl in the Mirror) in a TON of Alaria stories.

It also introduced Amora Crimsonsign who I had intended to become an even more important character in the Alaria setting. The plans I had for building up her/how she’d change Alaria got a bit derailed over the last few years. I pulled the lighter tone f/f Alaria stuff a bit further apart from the rest of the setting, and in doing that I at one point unpublished what had been finished of this story. I started reworking part of it to try and make it f/f and fit that lighter tone, but after a couple false starts abandoned that and kind of let those characters and the plot lines I wanted to take them down fall to the side.

I’ve decided to pick those characters back up and work towards what I initially wanted to work towards. To begin that I’ll be re-editing and re-publishing Almary Keep, keeping the original full spectrum of m/f and f/f sex as well as the darker tone. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be working on going through the 3 or 4 books that were done and getting them republished on Smashwords. Patreon backers will get access to these through a password protected page (and copies of the ebooks for higher level backers). Once I’m caught up I’ll repost the poll driven story that had just been started when I pulled it all done and I’ll keep the story going to the end point I originally intended (the fall of Almary Keep and the “end” of all the Sisterhood members there).

While working on this I’ll be taking breaks to work on the She Was Too Low Level poll driven stories and Dungeon Appraiser. Once this project is up to date its poll driven story will be added to my normal story rotation and I’ll reevaluate what, if any, other partially finished Alaria project to further add to my queue.
