So you know that post where I jokingly said it wouldn't be until 2024 that I published my second book...
          	
          	To give you an idea of where I'm at, I finished the chapter on when the protagonist picks up Lindow's God arc to save Licca a few months back and haven't gotten much further than that. I'm pretty happy with the quality of my work, and as always I don't want to compromise quality for the sake of publishing an unfinished story. Due to being in my final year at university and some writer's block (uni has sucked out every writing braincell and turned them into psychology) I won't be making much progress, and I won't be pressuring myself to do so.
          	
          	I look forward to the day that I can finally publish my second book, it's been seven years in the making so far and it's certainly been an experience. I've developed a lot as a person over the course of the book and it's nice to have that journey held in the pages I've written. 
          	
          	I know that my followers have been waiting for a very long time, it blows my mind realising how long I've been on this platform and how many people I met here. I hope that you'll wait a little longer for me.
          	
          	Love,

I love how in my last post I was like maybe 2020 and now it's very nearly then lol.
          
          I am incapable of writing in term time due to uni work, but every holiday I'm back writing when I should be revising.
          
          Anyhow, I'm now at chapter 83 so I'm making good progress. I still can't believe how much I've written, I can see where I'm having good writing phases at the start of the book and now my writing is all over the place ajsfk
          
          I'm so excited to nearly have reached a key story point again, I can't wait to finish this thing and get it out there to see what people think!
          
          At this rate I reckon it's gonna be over 100 chapters. When I finally start posting chapters, what kind of upload schedule would people like?
          
          I could post all chapters at once but I feel like that's very overwhelming.
          
          Equally, uploading only once a week like my last book feels kinda mean since I'll have all the chapters written.
          
          Let me know what you think!

@pastellisse That does sound tiring! And I'm looking forward to Christmas so much, I feel like a kid again haha. I'm not really on AO3 of FF so I couldn't compare tbf

@eternal-dawn Other than the holidays, uni and my part time job draining what's left of my energy and sanity I've been doing...relatively well lmfao. I am looking forward to Christmas though! It can be kind of an exhausting holiday but it still remains my favorite. And its good to hear that you've got the upload schedule all worked out on your end 
            
            Ikr??? It seems like there's been less and less people I  know active here in WP and that's really a shame since its quite easier to interact with the community here than say, Archive of our Own and the relatively dead FanfictiondotNet.

That feeling when you finish a chapter and are like I WANT TO POST IT RIGHT NOW TO SEE IF IT'S AS GOOD AS MY HEART SAYS IT IS. I'm genuinely so proud of some of my writing at the moment, even though I'm sure it isn't perfect! 
          
          Also to give you an idea how long I've been writing this, my first ever chapter draft for book 2 was in 2014 (5 years ago), and the story has completely changed since that first draft into something I think I'm happy with. I reckon I'm half way through now, but fingers crossed it won't be 2024 that I finish 
          
          It's crazy to think about how many years I've poured into this fanfiction, and how many more it might take to finish, but I'm more than happy taking my time to make chapters that I'm proud of.
          
          Finally, if anyone has someone they'd reccomend for designing online book covers please let me know! I have a few artists in mind to comission for the book, but I'm always open for more ideas.
          
          Love you all,

Oh and also I just finished chapter 54, so considering I was at chapter 15 in 2018 I've made good progress to finish in 2020-2021 lmao xx

Hey all!
          
          I just posted a second teaser for my second GE book since it's been so long since I last updated you all. I am trying to work on the book again atm, I promise I'm not procrastinating by writing one shots and teasers too much...
          
          Just a warning that this teaser deals with a PTSD flashback and the aftermath, so very heavy topic, but it has a positive end. A reminder that trauma is a very real thing, so please be kind in the comments and if it's a topic that triggers you, you are more than welcome to skip it, the teaser only provides some backstory. 
          
          Feedback is always appreciated, and if you have any questions feel free to message me. 
          
          I can't say that the book will be finished for another one or two years, as I am very picky and want this to be representative and quality work, and I only get to write during summer holidays. But I promise I will finish it, and I hope when I do it will live up to your expectations!
          
          Love you all,
          Eternal xx

So God Eater 3 was announced for the Switch today and I'm DYING with excitement. I'm a uni student so using a siblings PS4 wasn't an option, and I'd just kind of resigned to the fact that I'd never get round to playing it. BUT NOW I CAN!!! 
          
          Also I'm annoyed as I keep writing future ideas for stories instead of finishing my second GE book and GOSHDARNIT I wanna publish everything and see what people think 
          
          Hope you're all doing well ^_^

Heya lovelies!
          
          I just posted a teaser chapter for my second God Eater book which is in the works, it provides a bit of back-story but you of course don't need to have read it to read the book itself. Feel free to check it out if you're interested!
          
          This book is not a sequel to Shattered Dawn, it is a standalone book, and as the teaser suggests YES there will be a LOT of LGBTQ+ representation, disability representation and mental health representation in it, so if these topics interest you as much as as they interest me, then have a look! 
          
          If anyone has any questions, suggestions or wants to chat about the heavier topics in the book, feel free to message me. Note that whilst I appreciate the occasional reading reccomendation, excessive self-promotion and constant messaging will lead to me ignoring and/or blocking you. I hope you understand.
          
          Thank you and enjoy <3

Welp, sorry to be nosy but it piqued my interest what you said.
          
          You said that you have GE 2 and Burst. The former is jp only and the latter is God Eater Burst and I thibk you didn't refer to Rage Burst there.
          
          Though if you do get GE2: RB you do get GER alongside with it usually.
          
          Depending on what platform you plan to grab it. Currently there is a sale on the PS Vita, I believe it's about a 60%ish discount for it for about 2 weeks or so.

Now onto Chapter 15 of my second God Eater book! Currently I'm hoping to get a little further into the book and maybe finish writing it before I post, as I hate being inconsistent with my uploads, but please let me know if you'd rather I uploaded differently.
          
          Also, I am thinking about doing a teaser chapter sometime, so let me know if you'd like that!

@eternal-dawn tbh I cheated a bit and skimmed the titles for your book. Thats how I stumbled upon that extra chapter. I am still at chap 14.
            
            But seriously the GE stories I know are either short, cheesy, way too OOC, not drawing the correct picture, too random and any combinations of these.
            
            I actually like yours. So keep it up, I might bug you until you release.

@RoiNelIl Aw thank you! I am so happy I started writing again, the book might not turn out to be very good, but I'm having a lot of fun writing it :) xx
