Hello everyone It has indeed been some time since my last post, and despite my prior announcement dated December 22, which said I would soon provide an update to the story, I have been unable to do so. The problem surrounding the lack of updates, to put it mildly, quite a clusterfuck. Unlike previous instances where I was merely overwhelmed, this situation has significant long-term consequences and has been immensely draining. As you may be aware, or perhaps this is the first time hearing this, I reside in Vietnam. It has been an extended period since I last saw parts of my family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins. so we planned for several years for them to come to Asia to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with my parents and me. Our family dynamic has had issues before. A significant factor in this has been the perception of my parents and me as outsiders, largely due to my father's profession requiring us to travel frequently during my formative years. Nonetheless, one would hope to let bygones be bygones, would one not? Regrettably, it was not and the repercussions of the anticipated trip intended to help rebuild bridges only served to burn them further. The resultant animosity was big , with tensions escalating to the point where several incidents nearly turned physical (one in particular, had I been present, would have been FAR worse). Following their departure back to Brazil, I found myself utterly drained, both mentally and emotionally, struggling to engage in any endeavors, be it writing, academic pursuits, or even enjoying a simple video game. However, there is, if one might call it thus, a silver lining concerning my writing. my lack of energy has resulted in a thorough reassessment of the accents employed in my work. Initially, these accents injected a certain flair however, they have become rather cumbersome to execute consistently, spiraling somewhat out of control in some stories. But have good day everyone.
Happy new year everyone!
Good news, finally have some free time and no longer swamped with tests and papers, can finally have long writing sessions!
The New Cover of Stuck in 40k is out!
Good day to everyone. I have an important announcement to make. I have finally resolved to dedicate my efforts to the narrative of Ahriman, a project I confess I have regrettably neglected for quite some time. Much like my earlier work, Return of the Ancient, I initially took on more than I could manage, which is evident in the writing of the early chapters of Ahriman, which have aged like milk(and I cringe while I read it). Consequently, I have commenced a thorough process of revising and enhancing the quality of the text to ensure a more coherent flow of the story. Unlike Return of the Ancient, which necessitated starting anew due to a substantial shift in narrative direction from my first attempt, the revisions for Ahriman are aimed at improving quality, consistency, and implementing minor rewrites, whilst adhering to the same core plot points. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could check out the newly revised 10,000-word first chapter of Ahriman, now fittingly titled "Chapter 1: The Crimson Armoured Giant." and any feedback on the new writing style for the story is appreciated. Thank you all.
A new chapter has been released of 'Stuck in 40k.' It is somewhat shorter than usual, comprising a mere 10,000 words; however, I trust that the conclusion of the chapter has piqued your interest in the future of the story.
Hey you alive
Hello everyone, I was going over older drafts and I stumbled upon an old document, with names of characters I would write about someday. Be it the oldest dreadnought still in service of the Imperium, Khalon. To good old Aster Crohne, the most stubborn and most iron willed blood angel to ever exist. Or Debeeran, one of the most interesting custodes in my opinion(the fact that he is the most polite of all of them,despite being able to fight multiple greater daemons by himself). Yet the characters I mentioned were forgotten by the writers, yet considering the next character I am going to mention which I had a draft for, it might be the best. Calas has the same problem as Ahriman, they are pre heresy genuinely good people, with no major flaws that could be exploited to lead to chaos. With Ahriman at least, one can make the ‘argument’ that after prospero, he would sell his soul to chaos...despite knowing it was the reason to his suffering…despite that Chaos wishing to KILL Ahriman due to being more pure hearted than a Grey knight and being deemed by the Four as a threat to their plans( source: Magnus the Red: Master of Prospero), but then he became a mustache twirling villain, but at least with Ahriman, you can make the ‘argument' With Calas, you cannot that argument Calas Typhon, or you as may know better, Typhus, due to his fall to Nurgle, but I prefer to call him Chekhov's gun given human form. The problem is that the background they gave him , set him up to be one a hardcore loyalist(or the very least, hate Mortarion's guts). But now then, why do I think that? there is so many reasons, that I wrote an entire document in my zeal explaining it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XPzV8VY_F82Od2859LKwtS4A4o-tDANmhhByugL_wQM/edit?usp=sharing But in a nutshell, A story for the TRUE Calas had been added to my works in progress.
@PaulJeromeSchmitz the thing about the horus heresy is that the writings wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted to have traitors with that the reader can sympathize with and make them more than one dimensional villains, but they also wanted their books to have the heresy in full swing. So instead of having a series of books showing the slow corruption, most of the traitor character just suddenly turn, with very flimsy argument on the whh
@ joao_vitor_zagoto I must say, That was one of the longest arguments made for a Traitor that I have Read that actually makes sense
Hello everyone, sorry for not giving an update the last weeks, life has recently been very overwhelming, but here is the plan and update on the situation Stuck in 40k: The new chapter is in the works, in theory it will be smaller than Smaller than siege part 2… but I might get carried away again. It will never again take so much time as did the interval between siege part 1 and 2. I say 1 month give or take 1 week. Plus to celebrate, I am going to commission a cover art by J.A Jewel Ng or known in Instagram as wolvenhouur (he did the Return of the Ancient cover art.) Return of the Ancient: The next chapter is my current focus, it is decent sized and is 70%-ish done and the planning for future chapters is complete. Yes I made sure to 3 check everything to not make the same mistakes I did in the previous version. Ahriman: Now for the big update on this story. Like Return of the Ancient, this story suffered a lot from my poor writing skills when I began…and some dialogue aged like milk on the sun. But does this mean it is getting a rewrite? Not exactly. Unlike Return of the Ancient, which is going in a completely different direction from the old version (that makes a lot more sense) and thus needs to be written in a new book. This updated Ahriman is going through the same scene, same plot beats, but with better writing, dialogue, character consistency and extra scenes. Think of it as Ahriman+. I am nearly done doing an updated version of the first chapter for all you guys to see and I hope you all enjoy it. Take care everyone.
