As of this date, Records of the Eighth Kingdom is on hiatus, mostly due to Writer's block on my part, I apologize to anyone who enjoyed it but my mind is running in circles when I try to write a chapter.

To alleviate this I'll be publishing several projects that have distracted me.

Pact of Iron and Ice, which is essentially the original draft of Records without the Valyrian heavy aspect.

The Renegades (Worm): AU fanfic of Wildbow's Worm. OC is a survivor from the Ellisburg incident who triggered with Foreign element shards, and causes a ton of butterflies to flap their wings. The first Arc has tentatively been titled: Road to Brockton Bay

Anecdotes from the Great War: A collection of planned short stories from the Elder Scrolls, detailing the war between the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion which will lead to another AU fic (way later) that is as of this writing titled Invicta

Untitled RWBY/40k Fanfic: similar premise to the Eleventh Primarch except the OC gets thrown into Remnant pre-RWBY plot and then proceeds to throw everything off the rails by just being there (both RWBY Plot and 30k/Horus Heresy)

slow burn, with no consistent updates in comparison to other works.
