hiii just a quick question, do you still plan on updating your fic “hearing echoes” ? 😅
Yes! I do plan on updating Hearing Echoes again! I actually have (at this moment) 3 more chapters planned, though it might be more depending on whether or not I'll have to split them to keep a 3k to 5k chapter length (which, again, might happen to the next chapter because I'm a bit past 4k and still haven't written half of what I wanted for it) ^^
I do feel like I owe the people who read and/or have read this fic since the beginning a bit of an explanation.
Firstly, this is my first multichapter fic and I clearly overestimated myself there ^^' which is why the updating schedule has been wonky from the start. I also started working nightshifts while I was writing it, so between working hours and sleeping hours, I was really only left with my rest days to write, while also taking care of stuff at home and, let's be honest, I quickly got overwhelmed by everything.
But I also hit a huge writer block when it came to HE after the last update. I didn't know what to write anymore and every time I opened the doc, I just stared at it for hours without doing anything. Then I got in other fandoms, got some inspo again so I wrote for them, signed up for an event, and started a lot of projects.
In my mind though, HE wasn't abandoned, I was just waiting for the right moment, for the ideas to strike again. Funnily enough, that moment happened to occur after giving up writing for a while because some fandom made it feel like a burden more than a pleasure (yes, my brain has a horrible timing, about as bad as Raleigh in this fic X) ). So, as I'm slowly working my way back into writing, HE is one of my main projects.
So. TL; DR: I am still planning to update this fic because I cherish it and I want it to be completed because I want my boys (and Mako and Herc) to have a happy ending and some deserved closure. I hope I didn't lose you there during my babbling, dear anon (I know I take a tangent sometimes OTZ) and do know that your ask and just knowing there is at least one person out there who is still eager to read this fic, gave me a boost of motivation, so, genuinely, thank you!
As an apology for the wait, here is a little sneak-peak of chapter 5!
(This is a first draft, so have mercy on my ass and the potential mistakes orz)
