And now for an original work!
Added 2025-09-20 01:30:09 +0000 UTCAs you might have noticed I just dropped a deluge of around ten chapters for this new fic I'm working on, and for once it's an original piece. I kinda wanted to branch out into a new thing with a bit of a different methodology than I've been using, so instead of massive chungus chapters going forward for Old Glory I think I'll start doing drops of shorter chapters multiple times a week, usually between 1500 and 2000 words each. I kinda wanna see what the response would look like the that. Never fear, for you fans of Tie the Noose and Days Gone By, I won't be changing the weekend drops for those when they're on their update weeks.
Anyway, Old Glory is something of an experimental project I started putting together some months ago after reading Forgotten Ruin, which, for those of you not in the know, is a sort of future-earth post-apocalyptic military sci-fi dark fantasy adventure. The premise is relatively simple. In the 2070s an alien spacecraft crashes into Earth and releases a terrible flood-like plague across the planet. Mankind, on it's last legs, decided to use some of the technology of the alien craft to spring themselves forward a few thousand years in the hope that the plague burns itself out over the millenia. The technology, while wildly, impossibly advanced, is relatively simple to operate, or so they think, and using massive city-ships called Arks, they use the tech to functionally cut themselves out of the timeline, and a relative few weeks (for them) they pop back in, except something went wrong. Instead of a few thousand years, a few million have passed instead. A geographic blink of the eye, but one that throws everything they know and had planned for out the window. Now the residents and soldiers of Ark Four, named Valhalla, have to try to figure out what happened to the other Arks, the Plague, and how to survive in this new savage Earth.
I've never really done anything like this before, so it'll be a learning experience. Hopefully a good one. Anyway, do enjoy, and remember, criticism feeds the beast!
Thanks to all of you for coming on this journey with me, so far and in the future!
