Hi everyone! I posted the first few chapters of a new Avatar story, titled "Ash and Vine." Seems I just can't stay away from writing post-movie fanfiction sequels to Avatar with Quaritch as the main character haha
          
          I have actually been writing this story consistently on Ao3 since late December (I am currently on Chapter 12), but I decided it was finally time to expand to my Wattpad audience <3 I'll get the next chapters up here in the next few days.
          
          I anticipate "Ash and Vine" will be another behemoth like my other saga. Maybe... 40 chapters or ~250,000 words when all is said and done. We will see!

I love the series you did so I had an idea. Why don’t you do another Avatar book series but this time the main female character is Jake Sully daughter who is in a Polyamorous relationship with Quaritch and his squad and she becomes one of them instead of following Sully advice

I know this is so late but… HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW TRAILER 
          
          Serious question, do you think that Varang and Miles are or will be love interests? Cause Imm just saying I feel like he joined her clan or whatever cause of all the war paint yk.

Hello A New Mission readers!
          
          I am so sorry if it seems like I am dragging out the ending of story 2. I'm not trying to, I swear! I've just been so busy this summer (normal for my line of work) and my wrist has flared up again which makes typing a lot so very hard. I'll also be going into the desert to do a little science for a week where I won't have a computer. But!
          
          In terms of productivity, I am happy to say that I have at least finished my TRUE final editing run of the first story, A New Mission: Ash to Fire (sorry about some of your comment pins ). It was genuinely in very good shape (thank goodness), but now it's in even better shape regarding prose, continuity, dialogue, and general structure. Doesn't mean much for the folks who already read it, I know, but this editing run was *my* first time reading my story linearly, which was a joy, and it it quells my personal anxieties.
          
          And now, with it no longer hanging over my head I can home in entirely on Happiness is Simple--which I will also start linear editing as I finish it up. Next chapter, 43, is partially written. Will write bits and pieces as my wrist allows on my phone in my desert tent haha. Overall, I think the sequel will end around Chapter 46/47. And that's accommodating me getting carried away. 
          
          Anyway, you're all great and thanks so much to those who have stuck with me and this story even as Avatar hype has gotten really quiet for now  I hope you've had and are having fun.

Hey all, I just dropped Chapter 41, Emotion. So very sorry it took a month, I have just been very busy with work. Summer is where things get busy for scientists sadly.
          
          Next one very soon! It's actually split off from Chapter 41 because I got carried away as usual lol so they function sort of as one chapter. Anticipate that one for Sunday evening :)
          
          Happy reading! I crave your comments!

Is there going to be a third book after the second book is done 

So this is just a silly little request for my writer's ego lol, but I think a lot of readers found me with the second story--after the first one was already finished. Regarding A New Mission: Ash to Fire and not having to wait for new chapters, it makes sense that people would just excitedly flow through to the next ones! In doing this it can be easy to forget to vote.
          
          I've never asked for votes, but I would really appreciate that if you read and enjoyed the first story, you might throw a couple of votes its way if you didn't get a chance to 
          
          Ash to Fire's views-to-votes ratio can look a little meh to a passerby. The thing is that it's so huge and with only 51 chapters that it will naturally have far, far more views than votes can catch up as single readers repeatedly "put it down" and "pick it back up" as they take time to go through it. But any little bit helps it out to influence a prospective reader--which could guide more people to the story's sequel too which so many of you are currently enjoying as much as I am enjoying writing it 
          
          Anywway, Chapter 40 of Happiness is Simple is dropping tomorrow! ✨
          
          All the best,
          
          ~Xeno

Next ANMHiS chapter is coming soon I promise, all!
          
          I just wanted to make it as good as I could and I am awaiting on some art for it :)

Just posted Chapter 27 a really good one I think!
          
          And so, for readers of the first story, A New Mission: Ash to Fire, I'm currently going back and doing my "LAST" major editing pass as I read it linearly for the first time since I finished it. This is editing pass #5 I believe.
          
          Happy to report I've found minimal glaring mistakes in what I've done so far, but I'll be continuing to trim the excess and improve the clarity and prose of some chapters I find to be a little tedious. I am also tightening up the continuity and will continue making spelling changes of “SEC-OPS” and “SCI-OPS” to “SecOps” and “SciOps,” and “exo-pack” to “exopack” and the like.
          
          But so new and re-readers of the story will appreciate the general quality increase and even a few little extras, for example, mild Ash Na’vi lore expansions in light of the sequel's progression and even extra/adjusted (but non-story changing) lines of dialogue. As of today, I’ve edited up through Chapter 14 of Ash to Fire so far, if you’re curious, and my focus on these edits is actually why the recent sequel chapter was kind of delayed. Sorry! My hyperfocus.
          
          After I finish editing Ash to Fire, which is no small feat and will probably take about 2-3 more weeks as I *also* continue to drop new chapters for Happiness is Simple, I will begin the first major editing pass on the sequel. Luckily, however, Happiness is Simple has been written with Grammarly and a more slowed-down pace since I started it, so its initial state is leagues better than Ash to Fire's was... which is kind of regrettable . I can’t help but beat myself up sometimes in thinking about how Ash to Fire’s early flaws may have scared away some readers from its rich story.
          
          Or it’s just too massive in which case I /sigh/. But at least as I do this final editing pass I will be tightening up some of the truly massive chapters. Maybe one of the 11k word chapters drops to... 10.5k hahaaa... 
          
          Oh well! Thank YOU all for still reading A New Mission ✨
