The Dad Joke Guy

What a year, huh? Wait, it's barely been 3 weeks... Oh, well... here's to 2026.
          
          Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 7 will begin work after the next chapter of Reconstruction. Until then, we've gotten our first look at the true protagonist in chapter 6
          
          Stage Act| Chapter 7 is in progress, hopefully going live by the time this is live, or shortly after. With 3-4 chapters left, I'm considering just powering through so we can get started with the next Destiny story. Speaking of;
          
          Obsidian| Taking place during Season of the Forge, aka Black Armory, we see Eve tangle with the Kells Scourge crime syndicate, along with making new friends in the form of Ada-1. The outline will begin work once the next chapter of Stage Act has gone live
          
          Reconstruction| I'm planning on working on the next chapter of this once Stage Act is finished, but until then, the most recent chapter cameos everyones favorite Corellian and walking carpet duo

A slow month in terms of writing, but not for lack of trying... I'm definitely looking into slimming down my schedule next year, if my parents can help it.
          
          Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 5 will begin work once the next chapter of Stage Act is complete, and, no spoilers, it's going to be the last time we see the story from The Dukes perspective for a while
          
          Stage Act| Chapter 6 is in progress as of writing this, hopefully going up shortly after this does
          
          Reconstruction| Taking a small break from this one to focus on the aforementioned stories, but rest assured Ohm will have his time in the sun again in the near future. Speaking of the future;
          
          The year ahead| Plans have been made for both Arcane and Marvel stories (Helldivers is also in the pipeline). As for current stories, Chains of Andromeda is expected to be completed sometime by the second quarter of next year, leading into its sequel, Torch of Prometheus. Stage Act is also on the fast track to be completed next year, leading into the story set during Season of the Forge, running under the name Obsidian. Reconstruction, my take on episode 7, is hopefully going to be completed sometime next year, with its sequel, Droid Rebellion, starting shortly after. In the books is also my own planned anthology series based around the Droid Rebellion, akin to the Clone Wars tv show where others can add on their own chapters or give ideas for stories

Trying something new and writing multiple chapters of one story so I'm not constantly jumping from one headspace to the next, letting me get a bit of momentum and motivation built up before moving to the next project. I'd say it's working out pretty well so far
          
          Chains of Andromeda| Chapter 4 will begin work as soon as my stint with Reconstruction is done, probably one chapter for that one
          
          Stage Act| Third and fourth chapters (technically fourth and fifth) are available as of writing this
          
          Reconstruction| Chapter 4 is in progress as of writing this, hopefully done before the week is out

I don't really have anything witty or profound to say this time, so we're gonna get right into it
          
          Chains of Andromeda| Third chapter is in the works as of writing this; I should do this more, having whole portions of the story dedicated to the villains perspective and goals
          
          Stage Act| Second and Third chapters are available as of writing this
          
          Reconstruction| Second and Third chapters are available as of writing this, and I realized rather quickly that it's difficult to portray emotions from droids aside from body language. The B2 Super battle droid is a particular challenge, they don't even have a head or eyes I can describe

I don't think anything will beat the high of starting three stories at once and thoroughly being confident in all of them. Alas, I do have some bad news to start.
          
          Audiobooks| It was only a matter of time, really, before this happened; the audiobook project was a fun idea, but ultimately unsustainable because of my schedule. They'll be taken down in the next month or so.
          
          Stage Act| First two chapters are up to read, and I'm very excited to continue writing this one
          
          Chains of Andromeda| First chapter is available as of writing this, with some of my favorite visuals since Grayscale and Warmaster
          
          Reconstruction| First chapter is available, with the second being developed as we speak, hopefully made available after this goes live

A change of seasons comes soon, as does the coming of new writing projects;
          
          Crimson Ambition| The final chapter is in the works as of this update going live, hopefully being posted shortly after
          
          Stage Act| The prologue will begin work once the final chapter of Crimson Ambition is completed. No spoilers, but I've again found a way to cameo my characters in the campaign
          
          Grayscale| Chapter 15 is live as of a couple days ago, with the final chapter beginning work likely next month
          
          Chains of Andromeda| The prologue will begin work once the final chapter of Grayscale is live; again, no spoilers, but I think it's my most anticipated Tyranny of Matter story to date
          
          Reconstruction| After the epilogues for both Grayscale and Crimson Ambition have been written, the prologue for my first of three Star Wars stories will begin

A lot of ground to cover, so grab a juice box and a bag of Cheetos (the puffs, the good stuff, not that small crunchy crap).
          
          Night Come Down| Gosh, how long has it been since I've written this story? Four years? A lot's happened since then, and I can't ignore one glaring issue with it; the epilogue severely messes with my current plans. So, I've made the decision to delete it and render its events non-canon. The rest of the story shall remain intact, it's only the epilogue that has been stricken from the record. If you guys really want me to, I can rewrite it and make a version of the epilogue in a way that's compatible with the current canon, but as of right now, there's no plans.
          
          Chains of Andromeda| A couple updates back, I mistakenly said that the next story after Grayscale was Atone; that was false, but Atone is still planned to be written. Chains of Andromeda concerns an event mentioned in Grayscale, along with the flagship stories; The Promethean War. This story, and its sequel, Torch of Prometheus, is going to follow a character to be featured in a future flagship story, Brave The Storm, a brand new character, and an old character I haven't written about in a long time. Work on the outline will begin after this next chapter for Grayscale is done. Speaking of;
          
          Grayscale| Chapter 14 has begun work and will be ready in the coming weeks.
          
          Crimson Ambition| Chapter 13 has been up for a bit, and we're about 2-3 chapters away from finishing up, which means a new story is in the works;
          
          Stage Act| Set during Forsaken, Eve goes on a quest to return some of Wyrms possessions that were stolen by looters when the City was under Cabal occupation. It also sees the return of a character from Security Breach to play a major role, primary or secondary antagonist, that's for you to decide.
          
          Reconstruction| Lastly, plans remain the same for the long awaited Star Wars story; work will begin when I start the next story as well, be it Chains of Andromeda or Stage Act

Well, I did end up getting some writing done... Even if I did bawl my eyes out over the Final Shape ending.
          
          Grayscale| Chapter 12 is available right now, and chapter 13 will begin work in the coming weeks
          
          Crimson Ambition| Chapter 12 is available for your reading pleasure; something nice to explore the character of Krosis a bit more

If you don't hear from me much next month, it's because The Final Shape is releasing for Destiny 2 on the 4th and I'm gonna be soaking it up like a skink in the summer sun.
          
          Grayscale| Chapter 11 is available for your reading pleasure; a shorter chapter, but no less important
          
          Crimson Ambition| Chapter 11 will begin work after I write a piece for a friend; an experiment in writing the world of Sea of Thieves, so look out for that in the Destiny Stories

Work may keep me busy, but little do they know it only makes me want to write more, and boy have I gotten to write more.
          
          Grayscale| Chapter 10 will be in progress not long after this goes up, reaching about halfway through the story now... Assuming I don't add any additional chapters, but I doubt it with this story
          
          Crimson Ambition| Chapter 10 will begin work after I complete the next Grayscale chapter, and I added two additional chapters to the outline to both flesh out the relationship between Eve and Netra, and the chapter after that will introduce us to a recurring character in Eves story; one of a very opulent nature
          
          Reconstruction| At one time, I swore off working on more than one project at a time, because my writing was so atrocious I thought my divided attention was suffering for it. Now, seeing that I can manage two, I'm broadening my horizons and have written an outline for my first Star Wars story, in the hopes of making my own interpretation of the Sequel trilogy. Whenever I finish writing Grayscale, I'll begin writing the first chapter of Reconstruction, alongside the next Tyrannt of Matter origin story
          
          Atone| For those that read the flagship stories of Windfall and Wings of Wax, Atone will follow the story of both Quincy and Lekse from those stories; their meeting, friendship and how they came to own land on Mercury in the first place, as well as Lekses complicated past with the planet. Work will begin on the outline towards the end of the Grayscale lifecycle
