Story Update

Ok. For a lot of people, you're probably wondering what's going on with me and this story. You might be wondering if I've given up or something. I haven't given up yet. I've just been busy with the never-ending complicated process known as life. It is way too easy for a month or more to pass you by in a hurry, what with work, appointments, and recreation. But something else that's taken up a lot of my time is that I've started brainstorming and writing my own original story.

Yes. An original story of my own design. (Although let's be real, in this day and age, practically every story has similarities with other stories out there.)

So that's taking up a lot of time because, obviously, you have to come up with the setting, the rules of the world, the characters and relations, and the plot of the story. Oh, and every little detail that could turn a four page idea into an actual novel. So that takes a lot of planning, writing, reading, replanning, rewriting, rereading, etc, etc.

So if I take a long, long time to put up a new chapter… now at least you know why. Now at least I've got an excuse besides probably being lazy.

And because I'd probably get quite a few PMs asking me about my story, here's the general idea.

In a fantasy world under siege from a Dark Lord, the villain Naraxxas has vanished. His evil forces have been routed. But instead of everyone celebrating and having a time of peace, most of the kingdoms are gearing up to take land and settle old grudges. One kingdom under threat, Helvarch, realises that the only way they can survive is by setting up a fake enemy to unite the world again. So they grab a well-trained recruit named Allana, and have her (yes, her) agree to pretend to be Naraxxas. So now Allana has to juggle remaining good and noble in the heart of evil, while still keeping up the masquerade of being one of the vilest men on the planet. And also dealing with everyone wanting her head on a platter, and her own allies being ready to stab her in the back.

And that's the general plot so far. Here's hoping I can get something good out of it. And if anything in there sounds way too familiar (mostly any names I have mentioned so far), please let me know, along with the source material.

PS: If you read more than one of my stories and receive an update for them, it's just this update again. You only have to read it once.
