Hiatus
Hey all,
I'm really sad I'm going to have to do this after a long period of silence, but as of now Black Lion, Golden Stag will be going on hiatus. It sucks that this has to happen, but unfortunately I've not been happy with the trajectory of this story for some time. I've managed to write myself into a knot and a corner (a tangled corner?) somewhere in what would have been (ideally) the middle of the story, and it has been difficult getting out of it.
It's going to take some time and energy to sit and reconfigure this entire thing. Storm Prince was rewritten through several drafts section by section, and this one unfortunately doesn't quite hit the same flow as it's prequel nor is the plot as character-motivated as I would have liked, which happens. I'm not sure when it'll be rewritten - have to find some time to specifically rework these many threads - but it's a pretty large-scale story for me and one I am determined to return to.
I'd just like to thank you guys for going through this journey with me. It's been amazing to hear your thoughts both on this and Storm Prince, and utterly baffling to see so many people enjoy it. I've got other projects, personal and fanfic, that'll take my time and hopefully taking a step back will allow me to return to it with a better idea of where it was leading to. I'll keep what I've written so far online and only remove it once I am ready to upload the new version.
Cheers.
