I'm not certain if anybody is still watching me here, or watching for updates on my stories...but if you are, I posted this here for you. I'm a terrible author, a really terrible one that does not update. I came up with this story in 2000 and I started writing it in 2001, and here it's the end of 2008 and I finally have the mind to not only finish it, but to clean up the rambling mess that it is.
So many things need to change in this story, it's crazy. My word order is dyslexic. My spelling and grammar are atrocious. My word usage is adolescent. Aern is a Marty Stu. Fina and Vyse both slide out of character. There's weird, pointless scenes...and ultimately I couldn't write the ending I wanted because I wrote myself into a corner by only outlining half of the story before I started. It's sad that I let this story die because I really think that I had the very first Black Moon fic, that I hadn't seen any others out there (let alone any decent Skies of Arcadia stories) and I had wanted to write something for myself. The problem with sharing something you create for yourself is that others start taking interest, meaning you can't abandon it when you're bored with it.
So thus Lunar Cycle will be refurbished with a nice layer of shiny polish and a proper ending. The old version of Lunar Cycle will remain here on for a while longer, and then it will be deleted. I will publish the newer, rewritten chapters one at a time, giving people a chance to re-read, re-orient themselves and overall catch up with what is going on in the story.
My apologies for not updating sooner.
EDIT: I should make this clear. IT IS NOT UPDATED YET. THIS IS NOT NEW MATERIAL. I am currently doing one chapter at a time and posting the new ones on DeviantArt, where I have the same username.
So please, do not assume that anything is new here. It's not. Sorry for the confusion.
