Sidestory - Somnia Virtua Chapter 2.4
I have little new progress on the update to report, but I have just finished my first contribution to the Somnia Virtua Magical Girl Crossover Project, found here. It is 4.5K words of Kikuko's perspective as she deals with a mercurial Princess, her troubled Lady-In-Waiting, an aggravating Jester, and more. More directly relevant, now that this is out of the way, I hope to finish the remainder of the update here without much further delay, as my prior writer's block seems to have been mercifully dislodged by writing that crossover installment.
 
Halloween Index Update
Happy Halloween!

While I do not have the next update ready as I had hoped for, I am happy to report that I making meaningful progress with it once more. In lieu of that, however, I have given the index post a significant restructuring; making the table of contents far more prominent, and making the cast list far more comprehensive.

(In the cast list, I have also created and edited some picrew images as visual reference for most of the main and supporting characters, since I cannot currently afford to commission more art. Most are still not as accurate as I would like them to be, but I hope that they will be a sufficiently interesting stopgap for the time being.)

And in the spirit of the holiday, please take a treat below.

In another minor retcon announcement, I noticed some outdated information given about the Artifacts during the Q&A with Nel in Episode 2.

As of the Valentine's Memo Intermission, this is true:
Ever since the decision to split each Empowering Artifact into a set of seven fragments in accordance with the splitting of the Throne,

And so this passage written before that is incorrect:
They had a strange sort of… not quite respect for them, but something almost like it, so from the original seven crystals They had forged in magical research, They created the many artifacts, always in sets of seven.

To rectify that, I have updated it to read as such:
They had a strange sort of… not quite respect for them, but something almost like it. So from the original seven crystals They had forged in magical research, They created the many Artifacts, though at the time they were not split by color as they are now.

And added more to a later sentence to also be more accurate.
Thus the Magical Girls, and repurposing the once-harmful Artifacts into a positive cause; splitting each of them into sets of seven.

Happy New Year!

I am still making progress, slow but steady, despite the holidays and work making it difficult to find the time. Out of this current update, half of it is completed, another seventh of it is completed but in need of revision, and I have approximately four and a half scenes remaining to write. My apologies once again for the unintended hiatus, but even with the crossover project, the other quest, and my IRL obligations, I hope to get this moving properly again soon in the new year.
