Perfectly understandable, take your time...
But let me say that I truly hope that this quest can continue past this third year even if it is in a much more sporadic manner... You are a wonderful writer and reading your updates is always an absolute treat.
Thank you so much. I will try my best at juggling this. But what I will do for sure is reach the end of year three together with you. This was my minimum goal for what I have in mind next.
I have been struggling with prioritizing writing for the last few years, because energy put into my career had simply a much higher return. By now, I have reached a very comfortable situation though, so my long-term plans have changed somewhat.
I can't keep up putting too much time into this, when I am working towards nothing; as in only writing in someone else's IP. So, I want to mix it up in the future. This quest will keep getting updates in slower fashion, because I am able to learn a lot with the different sets that I put up. I said multiple times that I wanted to focus on trying different things here, which is why the character of Jacob came in very handy.
Additionally, I will start a separate quest with fully Original Content in it. The goal is to have a rough manuscript in the end. I enjoy creating fiction with all of your input, decisions, creativity, wishes and fantasies. I also think that writing in a way that keeps it always fresh and interesting for the lot of you (Reading a few scenes at a time), is a guarantee that the flow of the story is interesting for any reader, reading it in a few long sittings.
Working towards this goal will allow me to maintain inputting time on the regular and will benefit you guys, because you will be getting at least one story that you like (and maybe a second, that fits your bill).
It will probably take a little while longer to start that additional quest, as I am still setting up the world building. I have learned a lot writing '
Rien ne va plus' and even more writing this one. In the first Quest I focussed heavily on all the living and breathing people. It was important to me to have a set of very real characters, which is why I had so many POV-Chapters. In this quest here, I put most of my brain matter into the creation of surrounding world instead. I wanted to make the magic and wonder as real as possible. And there are still so many things I set out for you to discover! We will have a blast hopefully.
Next, I want to do both. Characters and World Building. Which is a lot. But it will be a cool project that I would like to create together with you guys 😊 For the meantime, we have our little antisocial egomaniac with a heart of gold though.
… And he still needs to somehow survive two versions of Lupin, two of Pettigrew, one Sirius Black, Dementors and a human bat that doesn't necessarily want what you guys want out of this night. Let us hope the rolls favour you!
