FFO: Chapter 7-C is inching along. I'm starting to realize just how much character development I still need to unpack from Chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 7 may -- emphasis on 'may' -- end up needing five parts total (so 7-A, -B, -C, -D, and -E) to get all the pieces in place for Book 1's grand finale. I'm trying my damnedest to avoid that, though. Otherwise Chapter 7 as a whole could total 50,000+ words!   D:

Taking Sights: I've started the process of re-reading Taking Sights (the typos and spliced commas, they burn!!) in preparation for re-starting production on it. I've decided that I need to revise my existing story outline. The current outline of Taking Sights and its sequel would require about 20+ more chapters, or about 200,000 words, to complete. That's at least nine months of work from me. I'd like to whittle it down to core themes and character arcs. Moreover, some of the plot stuff I had planned seems far too overblown now to be plausible, especially in light of where I'm realizing the characters are going to end up going at the end game. Anyway... it's all very nebulous so far. I'm holding off on the heavy lifting of plot reconstruction until I can devote my full attention to Taking Sights, and that won't be until Book 1 of FFO is done.

New AtLA One-shot: I got bit by a plot bunny and now I'm writing another AtLA one-shot. It'll be a fairly short fic, about 8,000ish words I'm guessing. It's too early to say any firm plot details, but the fic will be centered on Princess Yue. It's working title is "Mere Darkness."
