Author's Note:
Hello everyone, RStyle here. I'd like to announce that From the Ashes is officially back on track. After discussing the fate of this story a lot with One More Guy, we have changed the structure of the story and decided how we're going to work on it, but we have not abandoned it, neither changed its story. I know I'm late... years late. There's no easy way of saying it, but I was lazy and uninspired. I've joined law school but that's no excuse to spend so much time away from writing, and I'm really, really sorry about that. The fact that I'm yet to finish one single story is really saddening for me, since I've improved so much since the beginning and I have so many ideas to work with, but I fail greatly on execution, but that's boring stuff.
It's time to explain how things are going to work from now on:
1: From the Ashes is now a co-work story. Guy develops the plot, I write, Guy comes back and reviews it all.
2: The story will be written with Arcs in mind. That's a very basic concept that I haven't really thought about. Per example, Act I, Chapter II is the next chapter to be published in the upcoming days. Arc development is really helpful because it gives the writer a north to work on on the chapters.
3: I'm writing this message without Guy knowing (sorry my man), but I'm planning on writing shorter chapters to prioritize publish rate and development flow.
4: The is probably one of the most important details of this announcement. I'm not rewriting FtA, I'm done with these stupid rewrites that's only making me go backwards (and tiring y'all). Battlefield had 6 chapters published before I decided to scrub it and publish FtA, it was a great decision because Battlefield was going nowhere, but I planned on rewriting FtA again. I'm not gonna do that because it's a pain in the ass and I'm pretty sure that you guys don't want to wait for 3 more years for me to finish writing a single chapter.
5: Guy instructed me to write a whole arc first before publishing a single chapter, and then publish what's finished with a constant interval of time, like a week per chapter. There will be a great time between arcs, but once the 1st chapter of an arc drops, I guarantee that there will be a constant publish rate.
After all of this, I need to warn all of you of something first: I might be prioritizing publish rate, but that doesn't mean chapters are going to come quickly. It might take a month - or more, maybe - for a chapter to drop here.
Anyway, that's it for today. Arc I, Chapter II is awaiting approval from Guy to be beta'd and published, but I don't think that's going to take long.
I'm sorry for the delay
