Hey! Welcome back! Our sign got a bit of an upgrade from all the support lately, and we've got a lot more to share too!
Oh, sorry, please don't mind Mal. He's been staring off lately, eh, a bit more than usual. I guess I'll just uh, leave him be?
ANYWAYS A quiet (IM)pulse has been going off my goodness gracious! I'm so greatful that this fic had found so many awesome people. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. The Mal protectors, the loreheads, and the agents of chaos in wait, I adore you all, and you've brought a nice bit of excitement to my life.
[Next A quiet (IM)pulse Milestone]
THE TIMELINE IS BACK! We're now at the halfway point of act 1, and the entire arc is expected to have at least 9, maybe 10 chapters. We've gotten the setup and rules of the universe out of the way for the most part. The second half will be focusing on how this new status quo affects Mal in the short-term, and how he tries to cope because of it.
After writing for a while now, chapters are expected to be between 10,000-12,000 words long, and update periods 3 weeks to a month long. At the absolute longest, I don't think I want a chapter being more than 14,000 words unless absolutely nessecary lmao (looking at you act 1 finale).
[Upload Goals I'm Going For]
>Recall_act_1_4 (end of July hopefully)
>Recall_act_1_5 (Late August)
>Recall_act_1_6 (September)
>Recall_act_1_7 (Early October)
>Art Update #2 (Late October)
>Recall_act_1_8//Finale (Early November)
This is just ideal stuff. The overall timeline goal I have for the whole series already isn't accurate anymore, but I'm not trying to put a deadline on myself. Shit will get done when it gets done, but goals are still nice for me to have an idea on how long something is gonna take.
[Spotify Story Playlist! (+ alt. Youtube ver.)]
Been teasing this for a while, but I got together a playlist for the fic as well! Even though the songs reflect the timeline of the story, this is purely just for vibes and fun. I plan on explaining its structure and everything on its release, but all you need to know is that the playlist will be updated every half of an arc with more songs revealed as to not spoil anything.
I have like 3 betas and different versions of this playlist on my personal Spotify, so I've looked through a lot of songs. I hope that keeps me from having to make changes to the official release, but if a song doesn't fit anymore, I'll kick it if I have too.
My Wattpad is in shambles, but I plan on giving the fic some fix-ups formatting wise soon enough. Also gonna edit the tags used there too. (Please remember to read the foreword there because it contains all the proper story tags and warnings. Why the hell does Wattpad have a limit on tags??)
//Terminal and Multiverse
I'm very big on community engagement, so I'm just spreading the word that Mal has a non-canon copy of his story going on in the developing Caine Multiverse. The terminal website I made goes hand in hand with the Caine Multiverse, but if you just wanna focus on Mal content, knowledge of the Multiverse and the blogs I interact with isn't nessecary for his own terminal plotline. There is some really neat world building going on though, so I still encourage you guys to check the masterpost in full if you haven't in a while.
//What do you mean I'm a week late to artfight?
Sorry haha, I just chose to prioritize chapter 4 because I hadn’t posted in a while, but I will be focusing on it this week. Hope to show off my card pretty soon. Go team Tragedy!! I really hope-
Huh? You have to go? Wait, really?
No, no you're good I just- no, yeah, it's okay, really.
Well uh, I'm pretty much done here so uh, guess I'll pack up too?
