Hello. I am coming back. Yaaaaaay

Okay, yo, so I know I haven't been updating lately, but I had the most brilliant idea for an epic fanfic that will be all about ancient western history, specifically about the Gauls. Like, everyone is always like, "Yeah! Rome! Heck yeah!" Well, this fanfic would be like, "Oh no! Not Rome!"
          Basically, Gaul will tell the story of her life, so it will be looking at history from a different point of view from what it seems most people are taught. In fact, it will cover history most of you probably did not know anything about. You will learn the reason Paris is called Paris, the reason we have the word "car" in English, the reason Gaulish is no longer spoken, and a little more of the truth behind the reasons the Gallic Wars began (hint: Julius Caesar's was broke as heck). Hell, I'll even cover women's rights and civil liberties! That's right: women and children were pretty equal under Celtic laws, especially in the law systems of the Insular Celts... but I'll be covering Gaul first. I'll probably do a second book just for Britannia. After all, Boudicca is one of my favorite historical figures of all time. Continuing on topic, I'm so flipping excited about this fanfic novel I want to write! But first, I have to do a ton of homework. Then, I'll be more free to write this. I was really inspired by the band Eluveitie. I always like ancient history and wanted to learn more about the Celts of mainland Europe, but I never really learned much until listening to their music. They make so many references and songs about the history that you can't help but learn while listening to the songs. They even sing Gaulish! So, when the music goes with the story, I will attach a video to the chapter.
          What do you think? Any of you want to help me with research if I need it?

So, I was thinking about maybe writing a grammar guide. Each update would have one new grammar tip. This way, people can have an easy to understand guide on some helpful grammar tips and rules. I would use uncomplicated words too so that more people can understand it. What do you think?

@ARoseMcGovern You're welcome~ It is very well written, so the votes were well earned.

Also, don't forget to vote or comment on the stuff I write. It would be nice to get some idea of what you like and what I could do better on in the future.

Just added a new chapter to Gilbert's diary. I plan on explaining more of what has caused him to think about this. I was thinking the year this chapter I just uploaded would have been an entry of his from 1289. You may get to see why that year is important next time. For now, I have to kick myself into high gear and do a ton of homework. Enjoy!~

I have one more pre-written chapter of Gilbert's diary. I need to write more. However, I am bogged down with homework, and my tendinitis is flaring up. I have them written in my head, but I just to type them up.
          The story of the tendinitis is that I have been assigned too much homework, so my body decided, "To hell with school, I'm done." And, with that, I am probably going to be subjected to a lifetime of pain and agony. Now, my elbow hurts like heck.
          
          I will have those chapters written as soon as I can manage. I have other stories I have written that I can publish in the meantime. I just need covers for them.

I am am currently working on a reader insert story for Hetalia, but it will mainly only include the Germanic countries, Celtic nations (as sort of OCs since Himaruya seems to have released at least sketches of some of them), and England who sort of a mix of both and more. It will take place in an alternate universe where the geography is different, everyone is human, or at least mostly human,  there will be more magic, and most of the characters are royalty. At least, that is how it is so far in the planning and writing. 
          It will take a while, and it might be a bit cheesy in the end, but I hope it will turn out well. It all came to me in a daydream. Let me know with a reply to this or a message in my inbox if you want me to put a preview of what I have so far on here in a little post. I probably won't officially publish anything until I am done with the story if not completely done with it. I want to make sure everything ties together without any contradictions so that it is nicely wrapped package with a bow on top. Even if it ends up being a stupid story, the writing quality should at least be great to make up for it and trick you into thinking it is not stupid. I mean, it's not completely stupid, but it is one of those things that sounds sort of silly or uninteresting if it is summarized but has the possibility of being absolutely awesome.

Woo hoo! I finally decided I could not wait any longer and had to put at least one of my stories on here. I hope the lovely person who said they were going to make an actual cover for it finishes. I would love to see the artwork and have a more fitting cover.
