This is mainly an update on the situation on the 'why' of my long absence from writing at the moment. I do plan on getting back to writing full-time, but after everything my fiancee and i have been through the last year, it might be a while for me to get fully back to how often and the amounts of work i used to post.
          	At the beginning of this year, sadly, we were assaulted by our downstairs neighbour and pressed charges. While i got off with 'only' a few cuts as far as physical injuries went, I do need to get psychoilogical treatment for the ptsd i have from the attack, my fiancee had been brought to the hospital that night with a heavy concussion.
          	In the aftermath, a lot of my time went into caring for her during recovery while we were also both working towards the upcoming court hearing about the attack, but when that finally arrived, seeing our attacker did not show up, it was postponed, leaving us living in fear daily seeing he still legally( to this day) lives under us. with a harrowing 9 months of fear, stress and mentally being on constant high alert for any and all sounds from outside our appartment, i frankly lacked the mental room to continue writing.
          	Now, the court case has been finished, our attacker has been convicted of the assault on us and we are slowly getting our lives back on the road, but this takes time.
          	For one, I have to get treatment for the ptsd i have which leaves me on a waiting list for now. Thus, once that can finally begin, I will very likely need to scale down writing if I have picked it back up by then.
          	In addition to that, we are both still severly stressed on a frequent basis and still in the process of picking up our lives again.
          	Due to court proceedings still having been ongoing until september, I chose to hold off on giving large disclosure here until it had finished and Can start actively getting back to writing.
          	Thus for now, all i can really say about writing, i hope to post new chapters soon, but cannot give guarantees yet.

this message may be offensive 
@Dragon_wisper no problem, for the next day and continuing it, i tend to read at least the previous chapter and what i wrote inthe current, something i'mcurrently not getting to bevause of what i could only describe as bs circumstances that,unlike previously with my burn out and things that followed after,i wont expand upon for my own reasons. But currently i dont have the time mentally to work on my writing sadly due to said circumstances. Once everything is over and settled, there is a good chance i will give an update on it. Just sucked that this happened as i was working on getting a functional schedule again for my writing and life etc... then shit hit the fan

@Dragon_wisper as long as I know the basic premise and long term plot in very broad strokes I tend to just run with it and see where it goes. In some cases such as An Elf on Earth the plot Ihad in mind as those broad strokes came down to darkelf struggles with living on earth + romance. In turn I had barely any broad strokes in mind for Rebirth of Fenrir and just wanted to focus on a slice of life-ish iselai story with a tidal wave of mythology. So it does vary, often i just have a basic premise in mind and start rolling with it and need to define the story's main goal/overarching plot as i go, a few times i have a more focussed goal and plot in mind and thosecstories i do struggle a lot with writing which is why i tend to start with a plot idea as bare bones as i can.

@S-RANK_MYTHRIL_HYDRA  i'm a girl, but also part of the explanation to your question would also be 'used to be 'boy' simple version of that transgender and finally found out about a year ago... complicated background behind that but a series of 'chapters' from around that time explain the entire situation

For those of you who are interrested, to keep myself busy when I'm taking time off from writing, or simply have no ideas that will work, I will be streaming on twitch to keep myself busy. (don't worry, it won't be taking over entirely, but is mainly an aside thing/hobby I want to pick up.) I will be streaming, depending on my mood, Final Fantasy 14, (heavily) modded skyrim, borderlands 1 and 2 and DOOM 2016. for those interested in wathcing, you can find me at https://www.twitch.tv/alyssabaerne
