Updates on my writing!

Okay, I don't remember the last time I actually wrote anything. This is a little bad, but then again, I guess I decided to take a little break. I've been burned out, y'know? I think I'm allowed to be burned out every now and then.

The fact that it happened in the middle of the Fearniversary, now that's a little annoying. But hey, I release tons of stuff anyway. Anyway, I promise I'll have something soon.

For one thing, I have been working on Episode 81 of DCA. I can now confirm that there will be five episodes until it all ends. Episode 85 will be the final one.

Gee, I wonder if people notice the arc numbers in my works yet. Here's some other writing news:

- Plush, the relaunch of Fair Game, isn't even a conventional fucking story. It's just a Wiki about a fictional video game. It could theoretically never be finished.

- The Endless Obsession, sequel to Testing in Progress, will come when I have a plot figured out. I'm trying to concentrate my writing so that I only write when I know the story very well.

- The relaunch of HELP, which will probably be called Help Me in Hell, will come when I have a few more things figured out. I have a rough idea of where to go with it, but I still need solids.

- Topography Genera Center East, I actually do have some pretty solid ideas of where to go with Liquid Len, and alliterator always seems to have something rad to do with Doctor Cloud. I've kinda been waiting for Jane for this one, but I can't blame her entirely; I also do not have enough ideas of the plot of the first few movements yet.

- The Parallels: Bright in the Face will come when I feel like sitting down and writing really good opening posts.

- For Rapture, I'm waiting on Fentzy to write another segment of a log. The last Fentzy log got great reception, so we're going for another one. For one thing, this time we actually have a great reason for Jordan to give Fentzy his journal. xD

- In other Rapture news, I'm waiting on the stars to align so I can record the next Knight of Xanadu video. I mean, Eric and I covered most of them when I was last in America, but we missed Bryan Breecrest, Robot Pirate, and.. well, our video for the spoiler'd last one isn't quite.. usable. For many reasons. So I'm gonna do those myself, and if I see Eric again, we'll do them "officially."

- Built for Two, I will finally go out and say that I don't actually have all the plot of that figured out. <___<;;; I do have a set number of entries left to the story, and there are key landmarks throughout that I know exactly the course of, but where we are now? I'm kinda just winging it. But I'm playing it very carefully, as I was seriously not expecting the crazy-good reception the story's been getting so far, and I want to try to keep it like that.

And yes, I do actually still have even more secret projects. xD I keep them secret not for publicity but actually just because I don't know where I'm gonna go with them.

So there you have it. My focuses at the moment are on DCA and Rapture, which.. aren't exactly unrelated, I suppose. They're both crazy-confusing comedy stories with some level of horror to them. DCA's just script, fanfiction (though I think it's safe to say I've pretty much turned everything original by now), and focusing more on comedy and meta, whereas Rapture's more horror-based journals with.. very little, if any, meta to it.

..whatever, yeah, you know what I mean.

Fearniversary Log 2

I'm currently going through the writing stage where I'm coming up with all kinds of ideas. I'm trying to grasp onto the good ones and develop them into some real beauties.

The Fearniversary will be an interesting one, for sure. Consider this the Renaissance of Fear. I will come up with something Fear-related every day, though I'd prefer to come up with multiple per day.

Day one gave us a beta Beast thing video thing, day two gave us the launch of TheFearBlogger YouTube channel and the release of part one of Nightlander, my newest short-film-project thing.

I'm currently throwing around ideas for The Endless Obsession, Fair Game, The Parallels 2, Rapture, Topography Genera Center East, TheFearBlogger, Built for Two, even more new projects, and possibly HELP.

I am considering archiving both Fair Game and HELP. They're both good ideas, but not quite imaginative enough for me. If I force myself to write them, they'll be good, but only in the sense that Where My Eyes Remain and Memories of a Time Beyond were good. And by "archiving," I actually mean restarting under slightly different premises.

FEARNIVERSARY PLANNING

FEARNIVERSARY PLANNING


Here goes nothing.

- Video game story. While watching an LP of one of my many "biggest influences" playing EarthBound, I was reminded of how appealing the concept of an RPG is. I got to thinking about how OH GOD THE RAPTURE IS BURNING, especially during Act II, really shows off my love for the medium I never play. xD I had an urge to make a second work of fiction with heavy video game elements, though this one would be a lot more blatantly like an RPG. ...in the typing of that sentence, I have already figured out exactly what this blog will be. Expect it.

- The Endless Obsession: Administry for a Cause has ended, and Testing in Progress is preparing for its final movement. The Endless Obsession would be the sequel to Testing in Progress, though it'd be more of a spiritual successor rather than a direct continuation of the plot. I can't tell you what the plot would be, as it involves knowing the ending to Testing in Progress, but there is a large chance that The Endless Obsession will never be made. It's just a very solid and thought-out idea, and I don't often have those!

- The Parallels: Insert Subtitle Here: The Parallels: Hypersleep Dialogues ended very depressingly. There will be a sequel; I have already announced this. And I'm in talks with someone about helping me figure this story out.

- DJay32's Meta Blog: alliterator made a blog titled The Fear Mythos which told of the troper alliterator helping come up with the Mythos, in question, only for the Fears to turn out to be real anyway and kill us all. CuteWithoutThe made his own version. Chances are, I will too.

- Fear Limited: hahahahaha it's a pun. CuteWithoutThe, king of good ideas, came up with the idea of a parody of The Office starring the Fears. I really like this idea. I said I'd do it, though I don't actually know how I'd go about doing it or where I'd get the patience if I did.

- The Weekly Rapturecast Launch: Legstep Radio, "The Radio Ready for Rapture," has a weekly podcast planned. I'm definitely doing this. Maybe. Okay, so it's not gonna be weekly. But it'll be neat. I'm a little nervous about launching it, though, because the last time I did this, my brother barged in after ten minutes and we had an argument about me talking out loud. At 11 in the daytime.

- Radio drama project launch: This is something that's been privately under development for the past few weeks. The first installment already has a rough draft circulating; hopefully we can get the voice actors we need and get this sucker up and running.

- MORE SUNSETTERS: People really liked the two Sunsetters songs I threw together in Aviary and released on Topography Genera Center East. I should make more. Either way, this mythos needs more music.

- A VLOG: The Fear Mythos only has one vlog: The Undecided Five. We need more. So I'm thinking of making one. Yes, making a vlog is hard work. Especially since I'm sure people have seen enough of my room on video already. >.> But I'll figure something out.

And that's just the projects I've come up with at the moment. Believe me, I intend on being as busy as I can be from February 14th until twenty-whatever-it-was.

The Fearniversary. Be there.
