I will try to keep this page updated with status of current and upcoming projects so I don't clutter the stories themselves with too many mundane personal notes.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I've decided to re-write all existing chapters of Ring of the Rhine Maiden before continueing the story. Only a couple major changes, most of it will stay the same basicly. Having gone back and re-read some of the Manga I really realize I have been over protecting the human charecters. In the Anime Mayura always gets convienently knocked out or whatever when something supernatural happens and I've sort of fallen into that pattern. The manga is different, Loki doesn't shield Mayura quite so much, she just is kinda clueless when it comes to interpreting what she sees.
I have started to rewrite La Couronne d'Licorne entirely. Originally I planned to finish out the story to the end first, assumeing some brave readers are wondering what will happen, but it has gotten to the point where I just CAN NOT go forward with the story without going back and rectifying some earlier parts. The problem is that, allthough I had plotted out what generally would happen, I didn't clearly decide HOW it would happen before starting to post and it took me untill about ch 20 to figure out what I was realy trying to say. I promise that the eventually rewritten story will be well worth the second read by anyone who enjoyed the first version, and hopefully will be more appealing to new readers. Many new scenes will be added, includeing some early scenes with Knight-in-training young Durand. Originally I had hastened through those in fear they would not be well accepted. I also hope to more smoothly integrate the history/culture notes into the story proper, and to make some of the more culture dependant plot twists a little more easy to follow. (I didn't know where I was going myself the first time I wrote it)
Rewrites of 1-5 done, the next few should go pretty quickly untill I get to the old Druid where I have to add quite a bit of background/historical information. That whole piece with Mailios is driving me crazy, I wasted a really good opportunity with that scene, well, hopefully I'll get to that by the end of the week or this weekend.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Coming up:
Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok;
1. Ring of the Rhine Maiden - Sequel to Celtic Connections. See above for status. I really am looking forward to working on this story again. I miss the characters. I will work on it soon. There will be, eventually, two more stories in the series after that, so stay tuned!
2. One shot between Mayura and Loki hopefully done in time for Mother's day.
This is still not done.
3. One shot between Yamino and Fenrir hopefully done in time for Father's day.
This is late too.
Plus Anima;
1. A full length (aprox 30,000 words) story - plotting finished. Now to go back and flesh it out.
Book number 8 finally made it into my hot little hands. Only two more to go before the series is over, that's about 6 to 8 months or so I guess, considering the books are released about every three months. I'm not sure if I should wait to start this story untill then to make sure I don't write something completely at odds with the cannon...not that anyone will probably mind...
Le Chevalier D'Eon;
1. La Couronne d'Licorne - A full length (aprox 20,000 - 40,000 words) story. I have been very happy the story has been so well recieved! Thanks to everyone who has r&r!
