Warcraft Fic: Scions of Azeroth - Prologue _Hi guys! Yes, I'm starting something brand new and non-Unity related. I've mentioned it but I went back to playing WoW, and in a tradition I've had, oh, for a while now, I'm writing a fic that's actually based on what's going on in the game. I tend not to finish these because they lose momentum entirely if they aren't finished by the time the expansion is actually over, so if that's a deterrent, I'll completely understand. The other important thing to know is that this story will contain spoilers relating to the questing in the game. I'll note for what in my headers, but I wanted to give you a heads up in case you intended to see these things for yourself. Okay, enjoy!_Title: Scions of AzerothPart: PrologueWord Count: 2827Includes: Spoilers for the Talador questing zone, including potential character death. Abusive behaviour and language, mentioned death and violence.Pairings: Orgrim Doomhammer/Griselda BlackhandSummary: Thanks to the interference of a rogue bronze dragon, Garrosh Hellscream has escaped Azeroth and travelled to an alternate-universe Draenor and recruited a very different kind of orcish Horde to do Kairoz' bidding, but things are not always as they seem... and for each Draenor, there must also be an Azeroth.~ * ~( Prologue: Blackrock FoundryCollapse ) Tags: warcraft pairings: orgrim/griselda, warcraft series: scions of azeroth, warcraft* | |||

Warcraft: Unity Ask Me Things! Hi there! (I warned you)Now that Unity is over, and I'm working on other things (Legacy, Assassin, a new project, melting people's faces with banelings in HotS), I wanted to give people the opportunity to ask questions directly about Unity. I don't want to spoil new stuff, so I do reserve the right to tell people things are secret, but otherwise, go nuts.ALSOI'm going to be writing a story-specific annotated timeline I hope to link to and add to the storyline to help people get a feel for when all of this is taking place, but it will also help ME to make sure I don't completely fuck up my own pacing and timing.ASK AWAY!Tags: #ask me things, #crossposted to tumblr, #open until whenever the fuck, #warcraft series: unity | |||

Warcraft Fic: Unity - Epilogue _Here it is, the absolutely last chapter of Unity. Wow, guys, it's been a journey. Thank you all so much for continuing to show so much enthusiasm for this fic. Your words have always been incredibly encouraging. Thrall and Jaina's story isn't over yet, though, there's still a lot more story to tell, and that will continue in Legacy, coming At Some Point[tm].Special mention goes to my beta reader, sodzilla for all of her hard work over the years. She has listened to me whine and worry endlessly, edited my work with skill and dedication, making sure that they are my words and not hers, but clear so that you can all get what I mean, and generally been my absolute number one fan. Through her, my work has been refined and improved, and I couldn't do this without her. Thank you, sweetie, you're the best._Title: UnityPart: EpilogueWord Count: 2163 (chapter), Fic Total: 120187Includes: A touch of angst, some sap.Pairings: Thrall/JainaSummary: Not long after the Expedition has passed through the Dark Portal, Jaina has two equally startling revelations.Previous Chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Sidestory: Linguistics13 14 15 16 17 18Sidestory: Defiance - 1 2 3 4 5 Epilogue19 20 21 22( EpilogueCollapse ) Tags: warcraft fic: unity, warcraft pairings: thrall/jaina, warcraft* | |||

Hi. Unity is complete.Well, it still needs editing, but it’s complete in the sense that it is a whole story, five years in the making.I’m kind of freaking out and excited which is not bright at 3:30 am.Would you like to know how long this last part was? Do you?As a hint, it is three full chapters, one half-chapter, and the epilogue. This part alone is a whopping 22507 words.Holy fucking shit.Editing will continue until morale improves.Tags: #unity coming soon!!! | |||

If you have a goal, write it down. If you never write it down, it's only a wish. *pries self up* Hi. I'm not dead, despite evidence to the contrary.I want to say hello and happy new year to all those still following me, and offer you the following pieces of news:1) I have largely moved over to Tumblr, though I primarily reblog puns. No one is surprised.2) I have been posting on AO3 in parallel to Tumblr and LJ, though I have not moved most of my stories over. If I'm serious about them, they're on AO3.3) I am very much into Homestuck, though I have not abandoned Warcraft.4) I started playing WoW again which ate my time like woah. I am doing this in tandem with FF14, though FF14's endgame mostly consists of helping my boyfriend and raiding.5) UNITY IS NOT DEAD. No, really, it's not. I'm actually working on it. Chapters 19 and 20 are done, but stupid me decided not to have them posted until the entire thing is done, so they haven't been edited in any way, which is good because I misnamed an NPC and had to go back and fix that. Le woops.So here are my goals:- Complete Unity.- Complete Assassin.- Complete Stormcaller ("What's Stormcaller?" Stormcaller is the side story I wanted to write about Jaina when she went home to Kul Tiras because of that massive storm waaay back around Chapter 12 and reconciles with her family and she and Tandred team up to fight crime and also naga. No, I don't care Tandred's technically been retconned out. I consider Finnall canonical too.)- Edit the first half of Unity again. See, one of the neat things about AO3 is that you can download stories from it, and read them on your tablet of choice (they have epub, mobi, pdf, etc). I went through Doomhammer and Assassin and was rather proud of myself, and then I hit the start of Unity and went 'what the fuck'? The thing is, I started Unity five years ago. A lot happened in five years, new ideas, new ships, new things I wanted to introduce and did so, but in stories that take place BEFORE Unity started, and now measuring up 2009 Unity with 2014 Unity, it feels shoddy. I don't intend to make massive changes, but I do want to just... clean up the first half, until I feel like it measures up to the standard I've hit now. We'll see how that goes, I'll probably have to read through a second time, highlight parts and make notes before I finalize anything.Once I've completed each of these goals, I will get to work on Unity 2 (which is actually called Legacy), Fire and Ice (which is about Kael and Jaina in Dalaran), and potentially some other (hopefully) shorter stories, and of course, actually finishing a Homestuck story.I'm not setting dates for any of this, but I do feel better about setting it to paper, such as it were.Happy New Year! *throws confetti* Tags: back from the dead assholes, goddamnit tumblr, i keep hitting # automatically, unity coming... sometime! | |||
