Story Updates

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update takes our group through the Hodir and Thorim encounters in Ulduar.

I’m really hoping that my guild gets through ICC soon so I can see how it ends. I’ve already got notes written out for how to move into Cataclysm but, to be honest, I’m looking forward to a few month’s break from writing Alayne’s Story to give myself a chance to update this site and edit Parts I – III. Not to mention get to spend more time working on The Unexiled.

Anyhow, lunch is over. Back to work. At least I get off a little early on Fridays now so that means more writing time!

I’m late sending out The Unexiled because the application I was using to generate the mailing list has crapped out. I’m trying to figure out how to fix it because the old method of using Thunderbird was causing some people not to receive the mail and attachment properly. I’m going to try a few more things this week to see if I can fix it. If not, I’ll go back to my old standby of using three different programs to send it out.

Sorry. 🙁

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. I will send out The Unexiled tomorrow provided that my tower PC does not give me issues with getting it to boot correctly.

And now, back to work.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. I’ll blog more about things later. Right now, I need to go dry my hair and get to work on The Unexiled.

I have just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. We’re finally getting into the Ulduar story arc.

Now, about The Unexiled. I’ve some bad news. I have had a very rough week this week and, by the time I got home and got finished with work on Alayne’s Story, I was too tired to work on The Unexiled. Now, I’m going to get my butt out of bed early tomorrow morning and try to get a few pages added to it. Provided, of course, I can keep from succumbing to the temptation that is Dragon Age Origins. I’ll try to send it out on Sunday afternoon but no promises. If I don’t get it out this weekend, it’ll go out next Friday.

And now, back to work.

I have just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update closes up the Malygos divergence arc.

I will be sending out The Unexiled tonight. I will warn you all that there’s not been much added since the last update went out due to vacation and illness. However, now that I seem to have finally beaten that stomach virus *knocks on wood* and I’m getting back into my routine, the next update should be better.

And now, time to review tactics for ToGC 10.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update wraps up the Occulus and takes us into the Nexus. It’s part of the Malygos divergence arc.

I will be sending out The Unexiled next week. I’m sorry for that and, to make it up to you all, I will send out another draft the week after as well. I’ve gotten absolutely nothing done on it the whole time I’ve been here in the US. I have been far too pre-occupied with going out in the forest with a loaded rifle, climbing up in a tree, and shooting at deer. I managed to bag my first one yesterday. Yes, I like to hunt. And yes, we eat what we kill here in Mississippi. We’re all used to living off the land a good bit; we don’t hunt for “sport.”

I’m sorry if that offends anyone but the fact is that if we don’t kill some of the hundreds of deer out here at our farm, they will destroy our crops and we will lose the farm because we won’t have anything to sell in order to pay the taxes and assorted other costs. So, if a few dozen deer a year have to die and become our dinner versus us losing our farm…well, Bambi does make good eatin’. Bros before does, amirite?

Really, though, I’m sorry if hunting bothers anyone but it is something I enjoy doing. It’s nice to get out in the woods where it’s quiet, peaceful, and to just sit there and soak up the sun and wind. Getting to bring home dinner really is just the icing on the cake.

I’m flying back to France tomorrow and I’ll land there Sunday morning. I lose a day going east. I’m going to sit my butt down next week and do nothing but write on Alayne’s Story and The Unexiled. So, I won’t miss anymore send-outs. I promise.

I’ll cut this short right here. We’re going over to visit my niece again (play time with the baby ftw) and then I need to finish my laundry and get packed up again.

Take care, everyone!

I keep telling myself I’m going to get better about blogging and I keep letting myself down. Story of my life. 🙂 So, just a few quick announcements, a bit about my week, and then back to work!

I have just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. I hope you enjoy it. This week’s update of The Unexiled will be delayed until next week because I have been so slammed the last two weeks that I’ve gotten jackshit done on it.

When you’re forced to pull 12 to 13 hour days at work, by the time you stagger home, all you want is to curl up with a good book, some Jack’n’CokeZero*, and not have to think. I’m flying out to the States tomorrow to visit with my family for Thanksgiving so once I get over the jet-lag, I should be able to get some writing done over there. I’m going to try to set up my laptop to send the story to the mailing list but it may be tricky since I’ll be doing that tonight while packing, bitching, packing, complaining, packing, burning my WoW client to a DVD, bitching, charging my iPod, and wondering just when we’re finally going to invent transporters because I’d almost rather have to endure a gyneocological examine than go through airport security and actually get on that flying machine.

I’m not a fan of air travel. I’m not as bad as Alayne is about it but I don’t bother to hide my dislike of it (and my intense fear during take off and landing) either.

I’m looking forward to getting to see my niece while I’m there, too. Maybe I’ll get some pictures of her and post them here. She looks soooooooooo much like my brother that it’s eerie. Mom thinks she’s going to have his temperment as well (God help her if she gets mine. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Not even someone I hated!)

And now back to the grind!

*I do not advocate underage drinking. If you aren’t old enough to drink whiskey legally, don’t. Seriously. If you’re going to drink, you need to be responsible about it and the first part of that is being old enough to do it legally. /end PSA

And now to go work on The Unexiled some more.

I have just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This concludes the battle in Violet Hold and starts the diversionary arc leading up to the fight in the Eye of Eternity.

I will try to send out The Unexiled tonight. However, I have gotten a little distracted this week by The Gathering Storm.

Yes, I’m a complete and utter Wheel of Time addict.

I just finished The Gathering Storm and the short review is this: This. book. is. better. than. sex!

Anyhow, back to work.
