I suppose it's only been a few weeks for most of you, but it has been around four months since I last put my fingers to the keyboard to write. Even as I write this my body shakes and I feel nervous, but I'm trying to get back into it.
Anyway, this is mostly just to let those who cared know that I am still alive and that I do plan on continuing to write, however, for the moment A Sinner's Chance will remain incomplete, mostly because as I simply let it get too far from the path I wanted for it. A revision is needed to correct the course, which is something I plan to get to soon.
The reason I disappeared was due to the fact that I lost my insurance and could no longer afford my meds. Technically I still can't, but for the meantime I have a workaround that will keep me going until I can once again afford things.
For now I am slowly but surely climbing out of the deep pit of self-loathing and depression I was in. I hope this isn't a temporary rise, but the future is far from clear and every day is a struggle.
I'm doing my best and that is in part to all of you who read or commented, even those who left criticisms. I would very much like to thank anyone who supported me on this journey, you all have my sincerest gratitude.
Anyway, enough about that. I have a new story idea that is probably what I'll be working on while I do my revisions. I plan for it to be slower and somewhat less sexual in nature, but otherwise it'll probably have the same kind of feel as A Sinner's Chance. It would technically be set in the same universe, so certain terms and characters might cameo, but it'll be some time before I've got a decent draft.
Gods I feel like I'm just rambling needlessly, but final thing. Any of my Patreon supporters are entitled to some form of compensation for any time you supported while I was missing. I'm currently broke as fuck so if you want a refund it'll take an unknown amount of time, but I'm up to offering other forms of repayment that you feel is worth it.
For now I'm mostly thinking of free early access of whatever I release next according to length supported after my abandonment, but feel free to reach out to me if you want something else, you can do that through Scribble, Patreon, or Discord and I'll do my best to meet your desires.
Yay! I am glad you are alive. A bit sad about Sinner's Chance but I suppose those things happen. The best compensation for me would be if you actually finished your next story
If you're still ironing out the details about romance, have you considered a triangle? That way it is kinda harem but all girls would actually be committed to each other instead of f*cking everything that has a vagina.
As long as I have my meds it shouldn't be a problem to finish up, and A Sinner's Chance will make a return soon enough.
A triangle might not be bad, currently I only have the basics for three potential partners, so it wouldn't be too difficult to trim it down, but we'll just have to see when I get closer to that bridge.
It's sad to hear that your not doing well and i hope that you'll get better. I know haw much it sucks to be on ill terms with your own brain (i wouldn't wish that on anybody) and how much annoyingly harder it makes everything, even completely different and unrelated things. So take care of yourself, it should always take paramount.Pls don't get me wrong i love your story and am sad to see it on hiatus, pls take care of yourself firs, but well in the end of the day i'm just an idiot shouting shite on the internet ^^ .
I wish you all the best and wanna let you know your work is being enjoyed o matter how you currently feel about it.
Really love this story! Hoping you're able to continue it, and that your life situation levels out and starts to go up. Would very much be interested in any other work you do!
I know how important meds are. As someone who also has depression. Both meds and literature has helped me. I wish you the best of luck. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this story. Take your time, pick yourself up, and focus on yourself. I wish you the best of luck.
I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you'll get out of it soon enough.
And, what sort of story will it be? As in, the genre of it.
Not 100% on the specifics yet, but it would fall into the same category as A Sinner's Chance, Action-Adventure, LitRPG, Yuri, but slower and with more Slice of Life stuff.
Also don't think it would qualify as an Isekai as the protaganist wouldn't be a reincarnated or transmigrated individual, though they do exist in the world.
I'm somewhat torn on the romantic side of things, as I think it would be fun to explore a slow-burn monogamous relationship, but at the same time fantasy harem scratches an itch.
@Tyboneous Ah- I see, I'll be looking forward to it then. And since Sinner's Chance is already a harem, why not change it up a bit and do a monogamous relationship? It doesn't have to be exactly slow burn but that would be fun to read. Well, I'll read it either way and it's your choice to begin with so, do what you think you want to do, it IS your story after all.
@Tyboneous Is the character going to be human or non-human? i liked the start of A Sinner's Chance, but i wished the mother did not die, at least so quickly if she had to die. was a little sad about that
@GigaDotti
She'll be be mostly human in appearance, but there isn't a drop of human blood in her.
The story doesn't start with her birth, so while their is mention of her relatives, their situation is unknown and can only be speculated on.
The first chapter will likely only have two named characters, though I doubt anyone will be too attached to the non-protagonist, then again, I didn't think so many people would get attached to Vell's mom either.
@Tyboneous Well she was nice mother for her adopted (kidnapped) child
But will the character start out as a child or adult?
@GigaDotti They will be an adult, there are far too many events in her past that don't make for an interesting read, but are good for brief flashbacks as to why she is the way she is.
