Obviously this one is VERY rough, and we're definitely shrinking the Arena a lot, but you get the picture! 😁

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 22 [ROUGH]

This will probably end up being a second part of Chapter 21 in the final, but it works as its own Chapter for now! Also wrote the last section in a fugue state, so no idea how it comes out or if it's staying or if it's gold lol. Could be awesome, could be awful.

STORMWEAVER 2: Let's Chat About - Logan Grant [MINOR SPOILER ALERT]

Going to be doing these occasional  "Let's Chat About" sections where I'm going to be looking for feedback (see?? I said I ask for some!! lol) on specific topics. 

Today, I want to talk about Logan Grant, and his relationship with Viv.

As many of you can tell, I have set myself to try and turn Grant from someone everyone hated to someone everyone comes to understand and (hopefully) slowly grows to like. He's never going to be a perfect character or person, but his flaws ...

Chapter 21 Sneak Peek! - Stormweaver II

Valera took a step forward, her irritation causing her to lose her cool for a moment and engage her Speed spec. She was nose-to-nose with Reese so fast that the resulting blast of displaced air nearly knocked his cap right off his head.

ā€œI bet you didn’t even ask them why they acted in such a manner, did you?ā€ she half-whispered, half-hissed. The two of them were of a height, but Valera was well aware of the impact her presence—the presence of a rare S-Ranked Knight...

Chapter 20 Sneak Peek! - Stormweaver II

Rei’s specs, on average, were closer to C3 or C4 than his actual C7 Rank. Add that to the fact that Shido was indeed not called around his limbs, and his potential in a fight might have been very similar to Bigg’s with his CAD called, at least a paper.

The reality, though, was that even if Rei didn’t suspect he was the much, much better fighter, he knew, at the very least, that he was the faster one.

By lightyears.

Quick sketch of another coming illustration! Obviously you guys will see the finished ones (and probably updates) as they come out!

Got a REALLY good sketch coming at you guys this weekend I'm absolutely LOVE!

Oops! Hit "Publish now" instead of "Schedule" šŸ˜… Sorry! In better news though... Stormweaver art drops will be starting up soon again!

Some of you got an extra-special sneak peek of the sketch coming this weekend. Don't worry, you also have another coming tomorrow, and I've attached a peek (yes, a peek of the peek) as an apology above so you can guess where it's coming from!

We have a lot of illustrations incoming over the next year, so I'm hoping to have updates for you on those at least once a week for a while, maybe even twice or three times! I think you'll be happy with them all!

Cheers all!

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 18.5... maybe 19? LOL

Sigh... As some of you saw on Reddit earlier, I am not pleased with the timeline of this chapter, and will be reworking it in edits. For now, though, it does what I need to do!

... But it also ended up stupid long again, haaaa...

I may be totally reworking it and making it two chapters, but I don't know yet. For the time being, enjoy a taste of action before we dive RIGHT back into the violence in the next chapter!

Chapter 18.5 Sneak Peek! - Stormweaver II

Coming tomorrow, though possibly not till the afternoon. This is a weird chapter. I don't like the loop it took back to the Arena, so I'll be I do some major restructuring on it in edits.

Other than that, though, it was fun to set the scene before we dive into combat again!

EARLY ACCESS: STORMWEAVER 2 - Chapter 18

I'm 99% positive there is going to have to be a "Chapter 18.5" next week, because as long as this chapter is so far (it's long), it cuts off in the middle of what is technically a flashback and I don't like it. Going to have to wrap it more cleanly between now and next Friday.

Don't worry, though. Like I said, there's plenty to read still, ha. At 6.6k words, I think this is the longest chapter posted yet?
