So much packed into this chapter. I didn't want to just "and then two days passed," so I wrote them out in this form instead to give it length and avoid the rushed feeling that Orléans de...
2023-03-19 07:42:46 +0000 UTC View PostIf I get as far as I hope to, this title will make plenty of sense by the end. If not, well, I'll just have to change it.

At the start of his career, William Kidd’s future looked bright. Many things went...
2023-03-12 02:56:31 +0000 UTC View PostI really wanted to convey a sense of eeriness, so I had to find a font that would be available on SV and also give that unsettling feeling. Fittingly enough, I settled on "Spectral," which isn't
So if you thought Calliope and our seaweed-bearded mystery man were the only addition to this Singularity, here, I show you that they weren't.
The chapter title is a bit ironic, all things considered, but I think the things that got covered this chapter needed to get covered, so this chapter didn't wind up being pointless, like I feared i...
2023-03-05 10:57:47 +0000 UTC View PostI actually wasn't 100% where I wanted to start with this one. I thought about skipping forward, going with an interlude, and having Chapter XCII pick up the day after last chapter, but I think I ca...
2023-02-27 18:18:49 +0000 UTC View PostThis is where I start to throw some more wrenches into things. Even if the stupidly convoluted plot makes it hard to do much with Okeanos without revamping the whole thing, there's still a few thin...
2023-02-25 11:24:46 +0000 UTC View PostYeah, I honestly don't have a better title for this one. Maybe I'll think of something later on, but for now, it'll be this.
It feels like it's a bit on the nose to say, "The Minotaur really is a monster." Like, "The Archer class really is full of archers!" You don't say.
The cow-based puns were entirely unintentio...

2023-02-13 15:59:53 +0000 UTC View PostI laid the foundation for a couple of different things this chapter, but the most important part was, a little ironically, the very end. I wanted to capture that sense of how imposing that would be...

Chapter LXXXIX: Ho Labúrinthos kaí ho Mīnṓtauros
Too much, you think?
Had to change the title at the end, because I cut the chapter off before I got to reference what the title was supposed to be referencing. Mash just provided too good a line for me to end on.
Took me a little bit longer to figure out how I wanted to start this chapter.
I'm actually enjoying writing Okeanos a lot more than I expected I would. Drake and her crew give me a lot of things to do with them and the team, and it lets me have some silly moments that feel a...
2023-01-29 14:44:51 +0000 UTC View PostThis title is more meaningful than it seems at first glance.
Adventure is out there!
Not married to this title either, but it'll keep for now.
I'm a little uncertain about this. There are things I want to do with the character introduced this chapter, but the way he's introduced is a bit more heavy handed than I'd like it to be.

I don't know what it was about this chapter, but it flowed so damn easily that I'm already finished with it. Whatever it was, I am finished with it, so here we go, everyone. Enjoy.

2023-01-17 20:26:01 +0000 UTC View PostI'm not married to this title, not the least because we might not make it to the moment it's referencing, but it works fine for now.
It's frustrating just how little give the plot of Okeanos has. Like, the parts are so finely interwoven that finding a good spot to throw things off course a little without losing the essentials is...

It's been a long time coming, and this has been sitting half-finished for quite a while, so I decided to just finish it and get it out. Consider it a belated Christmas present, although I'm afraid ...
2023-01-08 13:35:42 +0000 UTC View PostGood grief, the plot of Okeanos has so many moving parts. I had to create a freaking chart to try and keep track of who is where and on which side, made all the harder by the fact that I'm not a hu...
