hello everyone ~
          	
          	yes, hi, i am alive and well, and i also have some news!
          	
          	recently, i have started taking a new writing class for school, and this new writing class has inspired me to actually start writing again. it has been a minute since my lovely hands have crafted a story, and i am excited to return (and hopefully not suddenly disappear like i did last time).
          	
          	first of all, i want to rewrite "the call of war." there are quite a few moments in that story that i am just not proud of, and i think i could have done just a much better job at writing if i didn't rush so fast to finish writing the story (i literally wrote it in like 3 weeks... so it could use improvement). what i plan to do is rewrite each act of the story one at a time, because the idea of rewriting the entire story feels a little daunting, and i do not want to overwhelm myself. also, i dont plan on changing too much from the story, but more of just making it flow a little better. i feel like there are a few choppy moments, so i just want to smooth those out. 
          	
          	as for my aemond story, i think im going to take that story down for now. i wrote the first chapter awhile ago and just never finished it, but its not something i want to focus on right now (even though i loved how that prologue turned out).
          	
          	and then finally, eventually, i want to get around to writing my own original story when i finally get over how overwhelming it feels. it has always been a dream of mine, and ive had so many ideas for it just sitting in my head for almost two years now, so i want to start drafting that and maybe even get around to posting a few chapters on here if i feel confident enough with it.
          	
          	so yeah, that is my not so little update for you guys. a lot of you guys follow me from "the call of war" so hopefully you guys are excited to read the new and improved story!
          	
          	thanks!

hello everyone ~
          
          it’s update time!
          
          first of all, i republished treacherous (yayyy). i’m currently rewriting the first chapter (i’m about 2,000 words) so hopefully after i finish some school work i’ll be able to write some more! also, i now have a solid idea for what i want to do, so that’s why i republished it.
          
          second of all, i also published my new aemond story as well (yayyyy). i haven’t written anything for it, but i definitely plan to write something soon. even though i don’t have anything for it other than the introduction part with the characters and content warnings, i still wanted to publish it just to have it my profile because i’m so excited for it.
          
          finally, new theme and ideas!! in honor of publishing my new aemond story, i thought i’d go for a little hotd theme. i plan on writing both my aemond story and lo’ak story at the same, as well as working and doing school work, so expect slow updates. i’m really sad i can’t write as much as i would want, but i’m hoping you guys will still enjoy my stories even if i don’t update everyday like i used to! i’m gonna aim for about a chapter a week for each story, but school could get a little taxing, so that might change. for now, a chapter a week is the goal.
          
          so yeah, that’s all i have to say! i hope you guys are just as excited as i am for all the stuff i have going on and i will talk to you all in the next update!
          
          thanks!

@BongBongSoonieya OMGG I LOVE YOU!! and yes, watch both shows!! i love them both so much, they are some of my favorite tv shows of all time, especially house of the dragon (i own a bunch of merch, own all the books, and keep up with new content actively). i highly recommend! though, i will say, the shows have very graphic content, so proceed with caution.

I am going to watch game of thrones and house of dragon just so I can read your story. I have been meaning to watch it anyway, but I kept putting it off XD

hi!
          
          so little update~ i unpublished treacherous because, like i said before, i really want to take my time with writing that story. right now, i’m trying to figure out how i want to write the oc without her coming off as annoying basically. i want to make her more morally grey, and just the story as a whole a more mature one, but i want to do some research about writing tips and just take a minute to think about how i want to do that. like i said, i want the oc to come off as morally grey, not annoying, but i just need to figure out how to do it first. a lot of the main plot points of treacherous may change with this, so if you’ve read it and i republish it, expect some things to be a little different (or completely different depending on which route i go). so yeah, i’m gonna take some time to plot some ideas, write some notes about the story and the characters and just get to know my own story before i start writing it. that’s all i wanted to say! i don’t know when i’ll have treacherous up again. who knows, maybe i’ll figure it out all in one night and have it up again the next day, or i may take weeks to really think about it. but for now, treacherous will be unpublished while i brainstorm. 
          
          thank you!

hi!!
          
          omg (crying face). i just marked ‘the call of war’ as complete, it feels so surreal. i’m super satisfied with the ending (i started tearing up a little bit while writing it) but im so sad that it’s also now over!! im gonna miss these characters so much, and i really hope you guys are going to miss them as well. i might write an epilogue for the story, but as of right now, ‘the call of war’ is complete.
          
          new things are coming, though! im super excited for my lo’ak story; however, i do plan to take my time with writing it. i want to have longer chapters for that story, and i really want to be patient with writing it, which means updates will not be every day like ‘the call of war’. on the bright side, longer periods of times between updates means longer chapters when i post, so you win some you lose some. also, i am starting school again (today was my first day back and i already want to break down. college sucks), so that is another reason why i will not be posting as much. anyways, i hope you guys loved ‘the call of war’ and please look forward to ‘treacherous.’
          
          thanks!

hi.
          
          i just posted chapter thirty seven of ‘the call of war’ (for those who have read it, please don’t hate me, thanks! <3) anyways, ‘the call of war’ is approaching the end. i know, so sad. there’s probably only about maybe two or three chapters left (depending on if i do an epilogue)? i am very heartbroken about this, because this series is very dear to my heart (i find myself tearing up while writing), and i am sad to see it coming to an end, but i am also very proud of it and glad i can say that i actually completed a story for once. but yeah, that’s the update from me. i really, really hope you guys love the story just as much i as do, and i will have the final chapters for the story up here in the next few days!!
          
          thanks!

hi ;)
          
          so, i have some exciting news. i know i posted earlier on my board that i do have a lo’ak story in mind, i just don’t plan to write it until i finish ‘the call of war.’
          
          well.
          
          change of plans.
          
          i was just so excited for the story that i went ahead and set up everything and wrote a little prologue. if you look my profile, it will be there. see it a little sneak peak as i finish up ‘the call of war,’ which it will be on hold as until i finish tcow.
          
          now, as for ‘the call of war.’ i don’t have an exact idea when i will finish it, but i do know we are nearing the end. we are in the final stretch. exciting, but also sad news. i’ve had so much fun writing the story, and i am sad that it is ending, as it is the first story i ever really wrote and published. i can’t say for certain how many chapters ‘the call of war’ has left, but i can see myself finishing it in the next week to a week in a half—two weeks at most.
          
          so yeah, that’s an update for you guys :). i hope you guys really really love everything i put out, and i know i really enjoy writing it all, and i will talk to you all in my next update.
          
          thanks!

@LuvEmy- me too!! plus, as much as i love neteyam, lo’ak is my favorite character, and it was always hard to find fics for him, so why not just write one myself!

LuvEmy-

Oh how exciting! I’ve noticed a lack of Lo’ak content compared to Neteyam. I’m excited to read

hi!
          
          i just wanted to come on here for a little update~
          
          first of all, i’d like to apologize for not posting chapters as often as i usually do. i’ve been working a lot the past three days (all 8 hour shifts, and i drive an hour to work everyday, so it’s like 10 hours a day i’m gone) so i just haven’t had the opportunity to write as often. not only that, but it takes me around two hours to write a chapter, so again, i just haven’t had the time i wish to sit down and write. i apologize for that, but i do have a few days off coming up here soon, so i can get a few chapters out during that time! despite all that, i hope you guys enjoy reading ‘the call of war’ just as much i enjoy writing it, and thank you all for the support with voting, commenting, and reading.
          
          second of all, i do have another fic idea in mine. it’s a human avatar driver x lo’ak story that takes place a few years after atwow, and i have lots of plans for it. i will probably start writing it once i finish ‘the call of war,’ because i don’t want to write two stories at once, but i do hope you guys look forward to seeing that as well.
          
          so, that is all :). again, i hope you guys are enjoying ‘the call of war,’ even if i’m posting a little less than i usually do, and please look forward to all my upcoming projects and chapters and what not.
          
          thanks!

Take all the time you need; as a fellow writer with a busy life sometimes, I know how that feels! Breaks are important so don’t burn yourself out! Keep up the great work, and loving the call of war so far :D)

hi.
          
          hello.
          
          how are you? ;)
          
          we’ve reached the end of act two, and are now approaching act three!! (wooo everybody do a jig. everybody do a shimmy.) i’m so excited for what i have planned for the rest of this story (if you’re a fan of war, politics, battles, and i little bit of romance sprinkled in, you’re gonna REALLY love act three). i’m really happy with how the end of act two finished, and i really wasn’t expecting it turn out how the way it did, which is the beauty of writing as you go, i guess. but anyways, i’m very satisfied with act two’s ending, and i hope it makes you all just as excited as i am for act three!!
          
          thank you all to everyone who reads, votes, and comments on my story. i notice every vote, comment, and even read on each of my chapters, and it makes me so so so happy that you guys are reading it!! i’m obsessed with you guys, kiss kiss mwah mwah. 
          
          ANYWAYS!! again, thank you, and get ready for the third and final act of ‘the call of war.’
          
          thanks!
