Friday Update #1

Howdy, everyone. Welcome to the first weekly update on my fanfiction blog. This week has been quite a week for me: Having a panic attack due to FFNet giving me a false site death flag, moving to and figuring out Wattpad, and finally getting a job all in the span of a week. I am not going to be getting into this much, though.

Instead, I will be mostly focusing on my fanfiction and the related stuff on that for this update. Now, I am rushing to get the last chapter  for Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles before rewrite. This is due to I will be starting work roughly 8 am to 5 pm this Monday for my new job. That is one of the main things I want to get out as it is the last FFNet post for a while. I am hoping to get it out either this weekend or early next week, but I am on my beta-readers' time when it comes to getting stuff proofed and edited.

Now, how is my schedule going to be the next few weeks? Upside, I already gotten into the habit of everyday, no matter what amount of time I have, to write. I been trying to keep a constant pace of 1,000 to 3,000 words a day instead of my binge writing of 7,000 to 10,000 in one day. The later resulted in my some issues earlier this year. I am also working on my proofreading and editing skills with attending writing groups both in person and online, though it's a slow go to get back where I was before college and get better at that.

Downside? I will have less time to write and draw, let alone proof, edit, and posting with getting a job. Hence why I am doing the rewrite of Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles instead of outright beginning to post it on Wattpad. It's not just to fix up things. I will be finishing the last part of volume 1 and get it as polished as I can before I post the rewrite up. I will be posting finished works weekly or biweekly depending on the length of my chapters for my fanfiction on Wattpad. Then, the finished story will be posted on FFNet and Ao3 if FFNet looks to be still stable now with seeing the FFNet staff accidentally trolling the easily freaked out writers and readers like myself. Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles' rewrite will get a full upload on FFNet once finished on Wattpad while other stories will get a chapter by chapter release.

So, if I am going to be silent for a while, then why even do updates on my blog? Well, I will be doing one-shots on Wattpad, some of which you all might like. I already have one collection up and decided I will be having the Digimon/Naruto crossover one-shot on its own to put to a contest on Wattpad. Now, as I warned in the fanfictions these two one-shots were in, these one-shots will be random and only appearing when I have the time and idea. My main focus will be my fan fiction stories. However, different one-shots will also be appearing. One due to my big mouth and my twin sister is pushing me to write it for another contest on Wattpad.

Now, I decided I will be doing my fanfiction in parts much like I am doing Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles in volumes. This has helped me keep my plot focused in my Log Horizon crossover and easily keep going even when I am not feeling like writing. But, what do I mean in parts? Well, I will be writing my stories much like how comics, manga, and light novels go. They do their stories in arcs and only one or a few arcs are seen per release of a volume or issue. Once the issue is done, it takes a couple of weeks or months for the next release of a volume or issue. Mamare Touno's Log Horizon which is a web serial in light novel format works this way and is free before it is published as the light novel. This will allow me to cycle through releases of the current stories in my reserves and keep myself from wearing down. My goal is to to get Volume 1 and 2 of Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles done before starting the cycle with adding Persona: Parallel Paradox and work on those two till I get myself where it is second nature.

Well, that's all I have to say for now-Oh, wait! Almost forgot. Though there will be mostly updates for now here till I get my schedule straighten out and back on track, there will be a few anime reviews appearing on this blog. Mainly due to with second season of Log Horizon coming out this October, I really want to get a written review up here along with a prediction of how the next season is going to be like. That one might be the only one to appear here this year since I am going to focusing on my fanfiction, but some more might appear if people like it and helps keep the blog active. Alright, this is all for the Friday Update, Auto out!
