advent calendar series : Timeless Island

Posted by learner 5 years ago

 

Hi everyone,

Haven't been posting much, mostly because my job takes a lot of my time (and energy) but also because the coming series... how to say, I've been thinking about it since my first series encountered some success. So you can guess that I'm overly anxious at the idea of releasing it, what if I missed a detail important for the next, have I done it right, writers will recognize the feeling. BUT!

The thing is, I hate working for nothing, and there comes a time when I need to kick my own butt and release it. Plus I always loved the pre-Christmas period more than Christmas in itself, the ambiance in the air, the decorations, the cheerful moods, ect... So, I had this little idea of an advent calendar type upload, one chapter a day. It sounds fun^^ This first book will be 34 chapters long, so it will at least go until the beggining of January. Before I actually begin (tomorrow), I want to clarify some points about this.

-It will not be fetish based. Sorry for those who enjoy my stories for the NSFW and vorish parts, but I prefer not to let everyone hope after something that will not likely be found there.

-I said it will be 34 chapters, but so far I only finished 31. And among the last ones I produced, some will probably need some drastic changes before upload. I'll try to keep the rhythm, but be aware that so far, only half of the book is actually ready for release at the hour I write these lines. If I can't finish on time for whatever reason, I may announce a pause around Christmas to give me the time I need.

-The story is meant to keep some mysteries, some will be solved a few chapters later, or in another book. Others will be obscure references, or left unanwsered, free to interpretation. I love nothing more in writing than making people think or theorize^^ So even if I'll answer some questions, I'll ask for understanding when I refuse to talk about a plot element. Simply because I don't want to ruin my own effects. If you're not the patient kind, maybe you'd prefer waiting until everything is uploaded because you won't have the answers straight away Also, if I don't reply a comment, this means you could be right or close... or totally at the opposite and speaking about it will give you the answer xD So you'd be wise to not base your theories through my reactions

-Some characters will have points of view and speech that may sound offensive or will be plain politically incorrect. IN NO WAY IT REFLECTS MY MIND, EVER. The words exchanged between characters, their thoughts and assumptions, are to be understood in the context of the story or the personality of the character. If you feel offended anyway? Feel mad at the character, not the writer. Because the character has probably been made this way to either look antipathic, to evolve, or whatever reason.
I feel stupid for justifying the words and actions of fictional characters, but I'm very aware this can be a sensitive subject nowadays. And I prefer to warn, I won't take it kindly if I feel aggressed with accusations while it's meant to be within an imaginary universe. I expect basic intelligence on the matter for those who will read my chapters. If you're the kind to get easily triggered, I'll advise not to read because the world described in this story is made to be unnacceptable.

-The full series will be free. I never made anyone pay to read my writing, and I'm not going to start now. The thing is, if this series encounters success, I might try to get it published. So money will be a bonus IF I did this story right in the end, and in no way money will be the focus of it, I did it by passion. I feel like nowadays, there are less and less free contents, so it is my contribution. How will I prevent stealing you may ask. Well it's simple. None other than me knows the track and the end of it, it's a form of guarantee in itself^^ My twisted mind has some plot tricks in its metaphorical sleeves xD

Well, I think that covers all Be patient the first days, the first 3 chapters are mainly there to introduce some situation. I'll reply to some questions, not all of them. But all in all, I hope you'll appreciate the story

And welcome in the timeless island.
