    "I'll probably have an update sent to betas at XYZ time!"
    Why do I keep saying this. It's like saying that I'm more humble than even the gods.

    You don't have Calibration in your signature? I only noticed when I was trying to remember a term you used in it and went looking to double check my recollection.

    Oh, that's a mistake. I'll fix it, thanks.

    You are also missing splintered? Which is sad cause it's pretty funny.

    Weather has been making my life difficult; it's hard for me to write (or function) without going outside and seeing the sun regularly, but it's also been at or above 82 degrees F for well over a month at this point. Usually hotter.

    Found myself thinking about Revision (the quest, not the concept, get thee away exams!) Today, and that got me to think I'd check in and see how life's treating you. Hope you're well. It also alerted me to missing a story or two that I know at least one side of, so my list grows ever longer 😂

    Going alright, on the whole; doing well in classes and managed to get a scholarship, so I'm very happy about that. I've been able to write a healthy chunk of An Impractical Guide to Ascension since my semester ended and have more outlined, but but not so much writing over the last week due to sleep issues. I'm hoping to get those sorted out soon, though.

    It's thanks to you that I found out about the Valdemar series. Thank you for introducing me to it.

    Reading the Valdmar series has prompted me to reread Ignition with new appreciation. If you don't intend to continue Ignition is it possible that you could hand the story onto someone else? I am certain that you would find many volunteers. I suspect that Ignition might do better continuing on as a story rather than a quest.

    I actually didn't want to make any announcements here since it's still going very slowly, but I have sporadically been making progress on that over the last month or so. Once the giant post is done, my plan is to break it into 2-3 chunks and post it over twice as many days. Again, though, it's going slowly so it will still be a while, but "some progress" is better than none.

    With An Impractical Guide to Ascension's latest update, I believe I have earned the right to use the tag of "I wrote this instead of sleeping." :V

    An Impractical Guide to Ascension (Worm / Practical Guide to Evil) Crossover

    In which Taylor is absolutely, one hundred percent not a Villain even if the voice in her head wishes that she would be. Taylor's powers might be a bit strange, but she is definitely going to use her powers for good. She is never going to become a Villain no matter what the voice in her head...

    Hey. Is it okay if I make an omake in it's not wrong about Hestia asking QA for her age and realizing that no, QA is older than any of the gods.
    Alivaril
    Alivaril
    Sure, although you might have some irritated readers if you post it during a time of low activity like this. I can't guarantee that I'll update INW soon, but my finals end in a week and I'll have the time and enthusiasm to update something, which may provide a small shield. :p

    Small question, is there a reason Divination is not in your sig list of stories?

    I love reading your works, hope life stops throwing curved fastballs at you soon. (Pretty sure life aims any balls AT people, rather than over the plate, especially recently)

    Originally it was because I didn't think it would go on for very long and didn't want to raise expectations. Enough people have asked for links to it elsewhere that I should probably add it, though. Thanks!
    Alivaril
    Still alive, just having a very stressful and exhausting semester.

    Taking four lectures and two labs, with one of the labs being four hours of lab a week + many more hours spent on papers, and the other being 2 hours of lab + something like 6 hours a week of outside-class lab work + papers.

    ...And then there are the family health issues, and uh. I feel a lot like the meme AO3 fanfic authors, except they've managed to keep writing whereas I haven't and kudos to them.

    Hey, don't worry about it, it's fine. Do whatever you need to do.

    "the first time I had been medicated in weeks, but I forgot my meds again today. So uh, I'll get back to you once I'm less of a puddle?" -you Jan 5th

    Just a reminder to take your meds if you need it

    I want a omake or side story where Hestia asks how old Queenie is and gets a brain break from how old the girl is. Unfortunately even if I write one, I would be unable to post it in It's not wrong, because the thread is dead.
    DeclanDSI
    DeclanDSI
    I'm fairly sure the moderators will allow it so long as the omake has substantial content.

    I've been reading Fragmentation again, and it was a reminder that while QA is a fantastic character, Upgrade is Best Power. You just can't compete with her sheer cute.
    Alivaril
    Alivaril
    Yeah, I've really missed writing for Upgrade and the Adair family in general. That world and the characters were a lot of fun, but I'm faced with a pile of my mistakes every time I go back to look at it. I really regret rehashing certain votes so many times, among other things.
    BurnNote
    BurnNote
    Most things I can say in response to that aren't really helpful, but at least from the reader perspective, the good definitely outweighs the bad. Like, by a lot.
    I'd say you could go the QA way and continue it as a story instead, but the feel is tied to the nature as a quest.
    bisonlot
    Any chance of more calibration? or are ya waiting for the next post of the quest it's based on to come out for guidance? Or it be dead? Also ty for fifth chapter / new thread of cultivation story.

    Oh I didn't know there was all story hiatus. Will that end in 2022 or 2023?
    Alivaril
    Alivaril
    It was not deliberate; I'm referring to the period of low activity over the summer and a few preceding months. I kept pushing myself to finish and post for specific stories and, uh. It didn't go well. I'm doing much better now.

    Ah, well as long as ur doin alright

    I found something really cool that I want to share with just about every author I am reading the work of. It has been really helpful for my writing
    DeepStory

    It's a really cool free AI writing program. Whenever you get stuck for what ever reason you give it your story so far and it writes out a fairly good guess about what comes next. It can be a bit hit or miss, but what it writes is usually at least good inspiration.

    Apologies for the like-bombing as I work my way through most of your back-catalogue, your settings are interesting enough and your SoL fluffy enough to be the perfect energy-restorer between long lectures :)
    Alivaril
    Alivaril
    Like-bombings are actually really encouraging! It's flattering to know that someone found and enjoyed one story enough that they go a-hunting.

    You ok?
    I havent seen a update on any of your stories in a while... unless you made a new one or something
    Alivaril
    Alivaril
    Ah, take a look at my snippet thread. I have been busy with classes IRL, but I did get some snippets out over there—including a Cultivation/QA story, Injection, which will get its own thread if there's one more chapter of it. Alivaril's Perfectly Ordinary Snippet Corner

    ...Less okay than I was a few hours ago, lol. Professor for the Spanish Class from Hell went from "You must bring all answers the day of the final and turn them in" to a standard no-notes-allowed final exam. Raised hopes only to dash them, it seems.
    Alivaril
    Was just greeted with a cheerful "Hello, sunshine!" by the owner of a restaurant I sometimes get takeout from. Is there some official "Certified Cinnamon Roll" license I can now apply for? :V
    Alivaril
    Turns out that so many other people have given up on this class that I'm one of less than five students who are actually still doing everything without resorting to obvious google translate or sharing of (incorrect) answers. So hey, at least I might end up getting an A? I'll take my victories where I can get them at this point.

    One of these days, I am going to find whoever decided to allow this thoroughly half-assed textbook conversion and dangle them out a window.

    Properly medicated, mostly rested, and vitamin levels are back up; I feel much better now! Running behind schedule for Revolution, but progress is progress and I'll try to fill in a blank tonight so I can at least send most of the next update to betas even if it isn't quite all done. (EDIT: Hahaha optimism -_-)

    Alivaril
    I also learned that apparently part of why this Spanish course has been hell is that there used to be a Spanish.100 thaaat no longer exists. And our teacher has been acting as though it does. So, uh, I'll try to tell her about that so future students will hopefully have an easier time.
