A/N:
Okay. Not an update. Sorry guys. :P
So, I've decided to rewrite Isala Uth'Melana.
In truth, I haven't been quite happy with the way the story's been going so far, even though it's been, like, three chapters. I feel like I can do a much better job than what I started with. In truth, there wasn't much plot going on so much as tons of wish fulfilling fantasies (like a happy ending to the Solas romance + time travel). Most of it was written on a whim with no planning whatsoever. I had a general idea where I wanted the story to go, but no over-arching conclusion that I was satisfied with.
Time travel stories are funny like that – they're very difficult to end when you've written that this has been going on for a long time. I wasn't sure how I wanted to end it, so, I decided to instead, change some things completely.
I have some serious changes coming up in the rewrite. There are a few major ones to the plot, starting with our POV character (who will be Solas). Then, I've also made a few changes in regards to characters, especially Ellana, as well as her overall design and general personality. There are a few quirks that you should be looking out for to hint as to what's different. ;)
In addition, the original didn't take into account any of the DLC, especially Trespasser. Most of this was due to the fact that, at the time of the story's creation, Trespasser hadn't come out yet. As such, I hadn't planned anything in regards to that.
But now, with Trespasser out and the Dread Wolf's plans revealed, I've decided to look back and work things out.
To reassure some of you, I have not made any changes to the backstory, i.e. Repeat. Nothing has changed about that one. The only thing I'm changing now is the plot of Isala Uth'Melana, starting with the title.
It'll now be known as A Sky Full of Compassion, though right now, that's a working title.
I thank all of the people who have read Repeat and Isala both, and I really appreciate the support all of you gave me in regards to them. And I hope to see you on the other side, past the broken sky, to the compassion and love on the other side. ;)
