Aila's Ramblings - Prepare to Binge Read on the 1st
Added 2022-02-16 21:32:43 +0000 UTCVotes are in and so I will be posting the chapters for the beginning of March all at once on the 1st.
I DID check for cliffhangers.
Chapter 78 - Yes, but the big convo with Sebby is completed. It's just something new pops up at the end. It will be resolved in the next chapter; my mini-arcs are just a 2-4 chapters long for the most part.
Chapter 81 - Kind of, but it's more curiosity than anything major.
Chapter 84 - Conclusion of a fight scene so it should be fine.
As a reminder, the chapters are over 5K words each and there will be six chapters posted at once. If it's late, please don't start reading them. We all know how it starts: it's like midnight and you think "oh, on more chapter" and then it's 4AM. Please take care of yourselves and get some rest.
As you all are very concerned about my wellbeing, I also wish for my readers' to take care of themselves.
I will also be changing the update time to 10:00PM PST (22:00 hrs, PST) when I get back (March 13th). This is so I can make sure they are posted before I go to sleep. Thank you all for understanding!
Lastly, if anyone has any requests on side stories let me know. For the most part, it just can't be on something that will inadvertently lead to a spoiler. Sometimes, I do get tired from writing the main story line and like a distraction. It's best that it's somehow related to the story, otherwise, I'll wander off and start writing notes on something new. That can be dangerous for some writers, because then you get excited with a new project and it takes attention off your current one. (New WIP Syndrome?) >_>
Once more, thank you all very much for your patience, kind words, and most of all for taking time read!
Comments
In the previous side stories, there was a mention about a cat. What do you think about a Victoria + cat adventure as a side story?

2022-03-08 08:55:30 +0000 UTCWohooo ! Reading till 4AM because sleep is for the weak anyway! More serisouly tho : Greatly enjoying your work. A side story about the villagers themselves as things change around them would be nice. A little bit of heart-string tugging with their original eviction, their initial meeting with Tori from their point of view (WTF a child ? kinda ?) and now closer to the present as things are kicking into high gear with the Prince, multiple projects, all the help and teaching they are receiving, etc. A great way to expand on the ground work being done and get some recognition for Tori ; Project management is a nighmare and to get everything moving as it has must earn some mad respect.

2022-02-17 13:30:43 +0000 UTCI'd like a romance side story about Captain Messer. She's really loud, outgoing and fierce. I'm daydreaming about a love story with a rival (doesn't have to be from the Sword Association). Perhaps another classmate or an old rival who didn't made in Lycée but another school in Horizon.

2022-02-17 01:52:30 +0000 UTCThanks for the Chapter. How about a side story following the first dungeon crawl of the cousins back in Mosshill.

2022-02-16 23:59:34 +0000 UTCHonestly, in the vein of your last love story I’d love to see a more detailed rendition of Ilyana’s father and step-mother falling for one another. A young Ilyana would be a treat.

2022-02-16 23:54:42 +0000 UTCSide story idea: the life of a(some) worker(s) or villager(s) in the delta.

2022-02-16 23:26:04 +0000 UTCIf you want in cannon side stories without spoilers, it would be pretty fun to see their parents during their Lycee days, and how they all became friends/partners. It would be a good break from the main plot without starting a whole new story.

2022-02-16 22:51:43 +0000 UTCSide story: ..... I got nothing. I had some foggy idea of "okay what if another student at lycee was also from our world but content to be in the background and not make waves and is trying desperately to avoid Tori, Alyssa, and anything to do with the plot... .... But it just wasn't working out. Okay so what if Get this Otters.... .....hopped up on the magic energy so they're smart.... ....observing the changes in the Delta. Nobody would have expected that suggestion from me! (I'm loopy and half asleep)

2022-02-16 22:43:15 +0000 UTCThanks for the thoughts! Enjoy vacay! Anything with momma bear Guevara is gold! Find her character awesome and hilarious especially when interacting with the queen.

2022-02-16 22:31:37 +0000 UTCI would love a side story from a first year perspective just observing the conflicts between Tori’s group and Alessa’s group. I’m really curious about what other student’s opinion are of the conflict. It’s a tiny high school, people are bound to take sides, and gossip travels fast.

2022-02-16 22:05:31 +0000 UTCOkay, but at least stay hydrated.
2022-02-16 22:02:32 +0000 UTCI wondered what camping lecture that Gideon and Alessa gave looked like. Maybe you could make a short story with a lecture and this years camping trip?
