I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update starts the beginning of the final chapters for Part III.

And, if my calendar is correct, The Unexiled should go out this week as well.

Now, a quick note on things: I’m going to warn you that The Unexiled may get erratic again. Not because I’m lost or having trouble with this draft. I’m actually confident that this one IS the final draft. However, I really want to finish Part III and that’s going to mean more time on Alayne’s Story and less on The Unexiled. My normal schedule, of late, has been to work on Alayne’s Story Monday – Wednesday and on The Unexiled on Thursday – Saturday with Sunday off as my “take a break and not stress over it” day. I am considering changing that so that I work on Alayne’s Story Monday – Friday and The Unexiled on Saturday and Sunday (with odd points during the week when I’m stumped on Alayne’s Story and just need to do something else). So, that means that it may take me longer to get enough material on The Unexiled to be worth sending out.

What it boils down to is that I may swap The Unexiled to a once-per-month ship-out instead of every other week.

Anyhow, I’m going to finish cleaning my apartment and go grab lunch now.

I hate winter. I really do. Especially when it’s cold. And snowy. And there’s ice that almost falls on my head.

Winter and I are not friends.

The only good thing about winter is that it forces me to stay indoors on my computer more so I get more writing done. However, there is a downside to that. Since the air is so cold, my skin dries out until I seem to have scales instead of flesh. Then I wind up spending more time scratching the backs of my hands raw or slathering them in oinment to try to get them to look less reptilian.

On top of that, I’m often so distracted by how friggin’ cold I am that I don’t get much more writing done.

Anyhow, back to work. Just needed to vent about the cold. ><

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update completes the Ulduar arc.

And now…Icecrown awaits the Disorder of Azeroth. Both the land itself and the citadel that dominate it will play heavily into the next major arc. Everything is about to focus on the final battle for Part III. I’m working hard on getting it ready and laid out well. I’m really, really, really hoping to get Part III finished before Cataclysm comes out because I’m going to change my schedule again if that happens. The Unexiled will be worked on Monday through Friday and I’ll spend my weekends editing Parts I, II, and III of Alayne’s Story.

Anyhow, back to work. 🙂

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. This week’s update is a short one because the next scene spans several pages — enough to make it an update in its own right. We’re finally getting towards the end of the Ulduar arc. And, now that all of the information about the Lich King is out, I can finalize my plans for that and finally get things in order for the Part IV transition.

In other, related news, The Unexiled will go out tonight. I’m making substantial progress on it and, if I can keep the momentum going, I’m hoping to have the damned thing finished soon.

Anyhow, back to lunch and then on to work.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forums. Starting with the Algalon encounter (which I’ve never actually done) and heading towards Yogg-Saron, we’re getting closer to the end of the Ulduar story arc. The next major arc will be Icecrown. I’ve had to revise my plans for Icecrown multiple times with the addition of the Crusader’s Tournament and the new Icecrown five-man dungeons. I’m still not certain how much of that will ultimately make it into the main part of the story.

Still, we’re in the homestretch now. I should, hopefully, finish Part III in a few months. I’m praying I’ll have enough time between the end of Part III and the beginning of Cataclysm to do some serious editing on Parts II and III.

And now, back to working on The Unexiled for a bit.

I’ve just posted the latest update to Alayne’s Story over on the WoW-Europe RP forum. This week’s update takes us through the Freya encounter in Ulduar and begins the lead-in for Algalon.

And now, back to work on The Unexiled.

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. 🙁
