More Christmas celebrations to be had later on today and tonight, but for now, I managed to get at least some work done on this one.

[Hereafter] Chapter LXXXI: Oceanic Mystery
Probably the last chapter before Christmas, so... Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it, happy holidays for those who celebrate something else, and have a good weekend to everyone else.

Some IRL drama has really cut into my writing time this last week, so this is later than I wanted it to be. Here you go, though.
So I'm sure a certain someone came as a pretty big surprise la...

How do you treat someone who was once an enemy, but has no memory of it?
(CiP)[Hereafter] Fleeting Lunar Phantasia - Part Eight
Had a teensy bit of trouble figuring something out for this chapter, but I resolved it, so even if it's a bit late, here.
[Hereafter] Interlude OMA(II): Fighting Demons
I really liked this chapter, in spite of how tough it is on our favorite director. It lets me show exactly how bad of a headspace she's in without making her look like a raving lunatic in front of ...

I hemmed and hawed a little bit about a certain part near the end, but it made sense to me, considering the circumstances. It's not something that's going to be happening often or in the main story...

For all Elizabeth Bathory has a terrible reputation as a serial killer, it really does need to be put into context that 600-ish people might be a lot, but there are plenty of men from much later in...

This one gave me a little bit of trouble. I got to the second half and felt like I didn't really know what to do or where to go with it, but a little help from the editor got my mojo flowing again ...

This one's going to be a bit more difficult than the last few. Going to have to get the balance right in the relationship between Taylor and Olga.
[Hereafter] Chapter LXXVIII: Dreamcatcher
Somehow, this is 5000 words. How is it 5000 words? Got me, but it is.
So we've gotten through the major hurdles to the Director's most pressing issues, which means we can start to skip forwar...

Somehow, I forgot to make a CiP for this one again, good grief.
Did I lay on the hints too hard this chapter? I'm a little bit worried about that. It's not like way too much of Under the ...

I'm not married to the title of this chapter, but I couldn't think of anything better, so here it goes.
[Hereafter] Chapter LXXVII: Resolution of the Final Regret II
Here it is, the conclusion. I get that not everyone was super happy about the guy in the second half of last chapter and won't be with him in this chapter, but the real payoff is supposed to be in ...

Yes, I'm working on this alongside the regular story. I... Oh, crap, did I forget to post a CiP link for this? I think I did. No wonder no one was dropping comments in the GDoc. Blegh.
Anyway...

It turns out that trying to keep a consistent output for Nanowrimo makes it easier to finish chapters sooner. Who knew?
This was supposed to be a single chapter, but there wasn't enough space...

I'm going to try and work on this as part of Nanowrimo. It feels incredibly daunting to imagine writing an additional 40K+ on top of the 20K-25K that is going to go into the pr...

Might wind up being more than a single chapter, honestly. There's a lot that I need to cover for her, and I have in mind exactly how it needs to go. I'm just not sure I can fit it all into one chap...

This one gave me a little bit of trouble, because it's been 65 chapters since Olga was last in the story, so it took a little bit more to get back into her headspace. Note: this isn't the ...

Took a little bit longer to figure out where and how I wanted to start this, as well as what to call it. But in the interest of not suddenly changing directions, let's get the Director up to speed,...

The original plan was to move into Aife's "interlude" subplot, "The Resolution of the Final Regret," after this chapter, but I'm not sure if that's too abrupt a change of pace. I can off-s...

Trying to pace correctly for some upcoming stuff, so we start with some setup and then we'll move forward with poor Marie a little.
[Hereafter] Chapter LXXIII: Invisible Scars
(Re)Birthmark was too much me trying to be too clever. I'm not sure this title is that much better, but it's much less me trying to be clever, so it has that going for it.
