《Apocalypse Now: Under Contract》Update
Advertisement
So, you're all probably wondering where I've been. For the last week and a half, I've been vacationing in Penticton, a quiet little vacation town chock full of old rich white dudes. It was alright. I didn't have very much internet access, and my writing time got cut by a lot because I was always doing something. During the little time that I was trying to write, I realized something about this fic.
I've hit a limit.
It's not really writer's block, but something similar I suppose. Thus far, I've been writing this with little to no planning ahead. I sit down in an afternoon, think about what I want to happen, and write it down. Obviously, this has some issues. Plot holes, poor character development, etc. At this moment, I don't really see much point in continuing this, especially since it was mostly meant to be a practice fiction (as were all my other ones...)
Thus, I'm here to update my schedule and get those of you who follow me (yeah right, who?!) up to speed on what's going on.
After the last year or so of somewhat half-heartedly practicing writing, I finally feel that I'm good enough to start writing an actual web novel. I've got two and a half projects in mind.
First, I'm starting a new web novel that will be fully planned out and half written at least a volume in advance. This means that before I even start posting anything on here or elsewhere, I'll have a volume of it almost written already. This will make updates come faster, keep the story more cohesive, and generally make a better reading experience (obviously). I might be creating a wordpress or something and post chapters a day later on here. As for details, well, I won't be giving out too much info but... Think Re:Zero sort of concept, except the MC isn't a whiny little bitch.

Second, I'm going to be writing an actual novel alongside the web novel. This novel will not be released online until it's finished, and then I will only be releasing it on amazon or something. Sorry freeloaders.
Second and a half, I'm rewriting Monstrous. I've been meaning to get around to it for awhile now, but didn't end up getting started on it until now. I'll bulk release the first four chapters at some point and then write more slowly. I'm going to halfway plan it out as well, so releases might not come for awhile. The reason I'm doing Monstrous and not one of the others is for a few reasons. It was my first fiction, and kind of holds sentimental value for me, and it kind of almost went viral (800 avg views in 4 chapters? Dang dude, it wasn't even that good!). I attribute the last bit to the kickass name and synopsis. Not sure how I even wrote those back then.
Anywho, due to those reasons, I'll be disappearing for a bit. See ya.

Nerds in Dungeonia!
“Welcome to Dungeonia!” Jack stared at the words, the true depth of their meaning impossible to know. Before him, in a book never opened, was a list of his attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. The instructions were simple: “You will have to choose a Race, Class, and Background before you can enter.” It was Dungeons & Dragons, and the character was him. What’s more, two of his friends were along for the ride. Unable to go home, they created a party of adventurers to see what’s in store for them in this world called Dungeonia. Will Jack and his friends make it back home? Can their friendship survive under the strains of living in a dangerous realm of fantasy? Will their knowledge of D&D save them from the threats and machinations of goblins, fey, cultists, and an ancient wizard? Are they the only people from the real world trapped in Dungeonia? If everything truly functions like D&D, then who is the Dungeon Master? Some may be answered, some may forever remain mysteries in… Nerds in Dungeonia!

Isekai'd slave
Edward, a regular guy, is transported to another world at the wrong time and place. Slowly, he adapts, paves his way, and faces whatever misfortune awaits. This is my first work. I'm mostly messing around with different themes/characters. The first few chapters are pretty inconsistent, containing most of the rough experimentation, but if you can get past them - I'm sure you'll have a much nicer time. Do not expect anything of notable quality; however, any advice/criticism/suggestions are greatly appreciated. The story won't involve any dark themes, so no excessive violence, rape, etc. Discord

By Myself
The diurnal monsters worship the day, while the nocturnal creatures rule over the night. But nothing opposes two folks more than living on the same land at the same time. Humanity prospered until it reached a pre-industrial age where the largest cities observed the first long chimneys made in brick whereas the smaller villages still had to cut the forest's logs with their axe.
