Hi! I'm back!
          	
          	I was hoping to gets Bonds Part 2 up and out for Ori Day (March 11th), but... of course, it's taking longer to cook than I was hoping. But with all of my other rewrites done, I thought it was a good time to post the new versions of all the short stories!
          	
          	Now, you don't need to re-read all of them, as most of them are simply improved versions with better grammar and flow while keeping the same story. However, there are some new information introduced in some of the stories that would be important to see. Therefore, I'd recommend people go back and read:
          	 - Trepidation
          	 - With Great Power (The whole story, but Chapter 2 specifically)
          	 - Down in the Burrows
          	 - Training
          	 - Bonds (Part 1)
          	
          	Anyways, I gotta get back to writing! Hopefully, I'll be posting new stuff soon... hopefully.
          	
          	:)

Hey I know I haven't been on here in a while but I know you are also a fan of Ori and I had to stop writing for a while because of a family surgery but everything's good now and I plan to continue my story.  Hope you're willing to check it out as a fellow Ori fan. :)

          - What is the plan?
          
          I know I’ve had trouble sticking to schedules, and with my current situation, I can’t guarantee anything. However, I have a rough schedule in mind. I plan on finishing all of the rewrites before posting anything, which includes finally finishing Bonds Part 2 (which is the only other part in the story). However, there's an issue I haven't addressed: AO3. I want to make sure both platforms are updated on them, but I don't want to push everything out at once because that will overwhelm AO3 users with content...
          
          So... the plan isn't clear yet, but I intend go through the upload process at a semi-consistent rate (perhaps weekly). I might post Bonds Part 2 on Wattpad early so that you guys get a special treat, but don't hold me to it. After updating to Bonds Part 2, we'll go back to a usual routine that (hopefully) involves me getting chapters out faster than I was before. 
          
          I know it’s taken a while, but I promise I haven’t forgotten about you all. Your support for my stories about Ori and his family means so much to me. I don’t want to stop sharing stories; I’ve never wanted to give up on them, and I apologize if you felt like I had. I'm very thankful for your patience with my life giving me the runaround, but I promise stories are always being written! Thank you for understanding my position, and I hope you have a wonderful day! I'll be back... I promise!

          - What about the short stories?
          
          Even with my life changing, I’ve still been working on the short stories because I love them. Writing the remake of the original story was fulfilling, and it showed me how much I’ve improved since the original. This experience also gave me insight into the short stories, which brings me to both good and bad news.
          
          The bad news is that after finishing the remake, I decided to comb over the short stories again... and remake them. I decided to revise the short stories I had already written. Why? Several reasons: Improving grammar, add content that made the stories better and smoother. But the most important reason was... I gained some perspective after writing the original story, and I learned what was I originally doing... or rather, what I wasn't doing. There was something about them as a collective that was... missing or being severely overlooked, and I didn't want to progress through them until I addressed that. So, yes, I'm doing more rewrites of stuff I've already done... but it'll be different this time.
          
          I plan to replace the old drafts with the new versions since they will better follow my current narrative. But the good news is I'm already up to Conversing in my rewrites, so the wait won't be that much longer... hopefully.

(1/3) Hey, everyone! It’s been a while since I posted, so I wanted to update you on what’s happening with me and the stories.
          
          - Where have I been? What have I been doing (besides writing)?
          
          I haven't shared much about my life publicly, but I think it's necessary to explain what's been going on. A little before I finished the remake, I graduated from college with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. Before graduation, I had plenty of time to balance schoolwork and my hobbies, like writing those dang stories. Since then, I’ve been trying to get a job in the tech industry, but, as many of you know, it's... not been the best of times for the industry, with mass layoffs, tech rivalries, AI taking over the world, and plenty more. I’ve sent out many job applications, but I haven’t received a single interview request. My portfolio wasn't strong enough, so I’ve been working on coding individual projects to improve my skills and hopefully find a job down the line. I'm lucky to have a part-time job nearby to earn some money, but life has been tough. Writing stories has been my best escape, but I struggled to focus on them for so long... but I'm getting back in the groove!
          
          I apologize for dumping my stress out, but I felt like it was necessary to explain how my life has changed...

Hey numrex! I am also a Ori fan and I have recently begun a Ori fanfiction series.  Later I plan on a Wotw book 2 and a few other things.  I just wanted to let you know I have been reading your stuff and have followed you.  Maybe you would be interested in my stuff too!  It's nice to see other Ori fans being creative.  Thx!
