I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update leads the characters into Jotunheim and begins what I promise is the last arc you’ll ever see of Alayne’s internal development.
I’d actually had a long argument with myself over how to do this with her. Alayne’s an…interesting character. If she were a real person, she’d probably be institutionalized with PTSD, depression, and multiple personality disorder. That’s part of the thrill of writing her story. She’s been through a lot of trauma and has never stopped to allow herself to process it. It’s something that the others have noticed in passing but, as there are hardly schools of psychology in Azeroth, they don’t know the right way to handle this. So, where she would be laying on a couch once a week talking with a shrink in our world, in the world of Warcraft, she’s got to resolve these things through other methods…
…and, this time, those “other methods” are going to cause her problems. No, I’m not going to spoil it for you. Let’s just say that there’s a reason for this to happen and you’ll find it out as you read along in later updates.
And now, back to work!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update takes us the rest of the way through the Trial of the Crusader event and starts the next of three arcs which will put us in Icecrown Citadel.
In related news, this week’s update is a little shorter than normal. Why? Because I had to scrap the last seventeen pages I had done over the past two weeks. Now, granted, in my writing, I’m writing 20 – 30 pages ahead of what I post. Each week, I post between 4 – 7 pages on average. But, having to scrap 17 pages cuts into my buffer a good bit.
Luckily, the new tact I took enabled me to crank out 5 pages in 3 days. I’m hoping to maintain that level of momentum for a while but it’s going to be tricky. Especially considering that work is getting downright insane lately.
And, speaking of that, I ought to get back to work.

…and, sometimes, I hate my job. But more on that later.
Anyhow: I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update takes us mid-way through the Trial of the Crusader raid event.
And now, back to work. Hopefully the next few weeks will not be as absolutely insane as the past month has been and I’ll actually have time to work more on my stories. ><

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week begins the Trial of the Crusader arc, putting us about a quarter of the way into the Icecrown arc, the final arc of Part III.
And now, back to work. 🙂
Great Weekend
I got back Sunday from the UK. I had a great weekend even though I got no writing done whatsoever. Hanging out with my guild-mates, going down to the pub and getting pretty hammered, and then going on every roller coaster we could line up for was fun.
I’m back home now and am cracking away on Alayne’s Story and a few other projects. So far, I’m 70% done with this week’s update. I’m hoping to get enough time to finish it on up tonight and get some work squared away on some other things I’ve been neglecting, not the least of which is The Unexiled.
Well, lunch break’s over so back to work!

Yes, it’s 1:30 am. I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. It’s been posted at this hour because I am packing up my stuff to go on a trip over the weekend and will not be around tomorrow to post it at my normal time.
I’ll let you know how my trip went when I get back on Sunday. I’m going to a guild meet up in the UK. Pictures will be posted if any of us are sober enough to remember how to work a camera. 😉

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update concludes some of the quest lines from Icecrown.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll see the rest of the Icecrown arc and the final chapters of Part III. I’m really working hard to finish this to give myself plenty of time for editing and rewriting some sections throughout the story before Cataclysm comes out and I get pre-occupied with that.
And, as always, no rest for the weary: back to work!

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. It was a little late because I left my USB stick at home. Sorry for that.
This week’s update continues the two quest-lines begun in last week’s update. We’re getting closer to the beginning of the end of Part III.
And now, to play some WoW and then do some writing.
Argh!
Normally, I post updates to Alayne’s Story during my lunchbreak. However, when I was about halfway to work today, I realized I’d left the USB key with the story on it at home. So, that update will happen later this afternoon when I get home from work.
Thank God I get off work a little earlier on Fridays.
To tide you over for the next few hours, you can watch this totally awesome video* I made of my guild doing Icecrown Citadel.
*I’m not biased at all.
Site Update Incoming!
I just realized that I have neglected to add a lot of chapters to the story here on the site and have not updated the fullstory file in ages. I’m going to do that tonight.
Also, while The Unexiled is supposed to go out this week, I’d like to tell you that it’s on hiatus for a bit until I finish Part III of Alayne’s Story. I’ve been warning that this would happen for a while now. I just can’t do both at once when I’m this close to finishing Part III.
And now, back to work.
