I keep getting recommend other people's fics and they have cool ideas and I want to do Things(TM) with that. Sadly, my skills in executing said ideas are still hampered by intensive day job that saps my energy.

Currently working on another Sci-fi crossover snippet just to get it out of my head so I can focus.

"I'm Still Alive" - Firelord Ozai (Mark Hamill), 2008

Anyway, been writing an asoiaf story elsewhere to just get into schedule after these years of crazy unpredictable shifts in when I have free time.

Didn't expect that. Most authors I encountered that didn't update after two years would never come back

I am indeed, though I've changed where I store my written Drafts, so that may be why...

I see, is it in another sight or in your personal folder? If it is the latter, I would love to follow you at that site as well

I write local copies and paste them here now. That's largely what I meant, meaning I don't show as 'online' here on SH since I'm not drafting directly into the interface.

I do post a few snippets and prologues to other story ideas that won't leave me alone on AO3 (should be able to find me through this same username), and since I learned about QQ, I keep that around to get feedback and proofreading from the forum-dwellers and lore-smiths there.

No, not dropped, but yeah, essentially hiatus for the last year.

I still write it and plan out future chapters, so it will come back.
I also gave in and wrote of few alternate plot ideas, but those won't be published as they turned into just writing exercises

Yes, just changing jobs required adjusting all of my schedule around. I've been building up snippets and drafts whenever possible, just haven't refined them into chapters until I get a feel for how the muse wants to work it all together. That means changing a bit *How* I'm writing the POVs

Far enough, I know the pain of moving around, hell my house still is putting stuff in place since I moved about a year ago.

|- Chimæra Fabricatus: Ch. 86 (DLC) released -|

The new Ch. 86 should hopefully satisfy the buildup of... (oh gods) the last dozen-odd chapters.  I could talk a lot more about that... but it's generally that these last few months of redrafting were all in service of adjusting to the feedback received and to better tell the story how I envision it.

More or less, still writing, still revising... Soft goal is that whatever I have written gets published on the last day of August at the latest.

No, not less difficult or even less time demanding. BUT, I did scrounge more time to write...

*insert  {{"I-can't-fit-more-[Writing]-into-my-schedule" *looks at [Sleep] category menacingly* "OR-CAN-I?"}} Meme*

Ch. 84 has its final version (28 iterations totally re-written btw) reviewed and beta-read, now I just need to crank out edited 85 and 86 before I release them together.
