Chapter 226 Setting Plans

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got another one for you!

The last chapter was accidentally published for all patrons. No idea how I messed that up. I definitely clicked the buttons.

Anyway, here it is!

The festival was fast approaching and it was easy to notice living in the village. I had decided to spend the nights in Circe’s room. The one in her parents’ house, not in the witch hut. Every morning I was slowly gliding above the...

Chapter 225 The Peasanting

Author's note:

Hey there!

Another one for you! I don't have much to talk about today so... 


Edit: Apologies for the delay once again. Chapters might be erratic this week and maybe the next. I'll give an update later this month.

Circe barged in, interrupting the conversation between me, Mum and Joanne. I could see the bucket full of mud on the patio behind her before the door closed.

Chapter 224 Approach

Author's note:

Hey there!

I didn't manage to write to for today. It's just been too hot to focus on anything properly. Especially since I do my running in the morning and when I'm settled down, the sun is already boiling the air.

To be fair, it's not that hot but it will take some getting used to. Like every year. I'm not really a summer person...

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 223 Let's Try

Author's note:

Here it is!

We're getting close to the end of this volume. It's something like five to ten chapters. I'm not sure what exactly it'll end on... We'll see.

Enjoy!

Cheers!

My family was very interested in the arcane speaker as I shared it with them. The voice of my father was still somewhat feminine at first but when I could hear it out loud it was much easier to adjust my tone. I was able to even speak a deep bass. I...

Chapter 222 Arcane Speaker

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got this one for you and another one coming in a bit. I also realized I never made the lower tiers catch up after messing up the RR posts and giving them a double so they will get a double post as well today. Everyone gets chapters!

I'm gonna aim for another double on Sunday. I think I can do it!

Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 221 Interest

Author's note:

Hey there!

This one was ready four hours ago but I got caught up reading Katalepsis. Great story. That's why I'm keeping this short right now. I want to get back to it.

Bonus for last week might be coming still. Not sure. Depends on how much I get done the next few days.

Enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 220 Distrust

Author's note:

Hey there!

This one is late again. And I don't even have a double for this week to make up for it. There are some reasons for that. Part of it is the new TFT set distracting me but there's also been some changes in my personal life. Nothing serious, just new stuff to get used to. I want to apologize for missing this one. 

I might be able to get a bonus out tomorrow but no promises. It's possible this week just won't get one. We're at 24 ahead right now so...

Hey there!

This one's really late. It's already Saturday over here. I lost track of time playing the new set of TFT. It's really fun! Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

You say we can?”, my mum asked.

Her telepathic voice was a little lower after I showed her a few variations. It was rather difficult to alter my own. Much more than I had anticipated. Still, everyone was forming their own identity. Not...

Chapter 218 More Lessons

Author's note:

Hey there!

I got another one for you! I feel like we've not made much progress recently, plot-wise. I still like what's going on right now, though. I think Fio might want to move on soon-ish and then return not too long into the future. That makes much more sense to me than sitting at one place. Then again, it's been ten chapters since she met Circe. I'll see what I end up doing. Probably some small fast forward.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

I got the next week off but I gotta catch up with some uni stuff so I won't have too much extra time.

Anyway! Enjoy the chapter!

Circe had already made it a few steps onto the clearing as I left the house. She jumped and spread her arms wide before turning to me. I heard Mira chuckle quietly from inside as the door closed.

My friend’s sudden enthusiasm was rather infectious...

Author's note:

Hey there!

Here it is. A little late like usual. 

I started playing Pokemon again. This time, I'm doing speedrunning. Pokemon Y is my current game. I beat it earlier today in 4:44:01. About an hour behind WR so pretty decent for my second attempt. Why did I pick up such a time-consuming hobby? Well, there's a competition that started this month for who gets the best total time over all 3DS Pokemon games. Only one per edition, so if I submit a time for Y, ...

Chapter 215 Apprentice

Author's note:

Hey all!

I got another one for you! Only one today, double will be on Sunday. I only have half of the next one done and I'm not really happy with it.

Also, I added a few sentences in chapter 203 describing Safrah in more detail. Particularly the ears. I nearly forgot I gave the dwarves furry pointed ears so some of you may have as well.

That's about it for today. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Cheers!

Chapter 214 Children

Author's note:

Hey there!

New month, new chapters! With these recent ones, titles have been kinda hard. I feel like many of these chapters could be pulled together taking out two or three. Bear with me if there's not too much ingenuity. The rewrite of this part will probably change around how many chapter and how long there are.

Also, this one felt a little like a filler. Mostly due to the aforementioned reasons. The first part could be at the end of the previous one with th...

The two humans settled down in the living room one more after all the excitement. There was still some tea left which they nursed in their cups. I was thinking about becoming a [Witch] or finding a different Class. It almost seemed perfect. I would get more magic Attributes and it would make use of what I had already as well. And if I did, I could try taking an app...

One Year of Writing

Hello everyone!

It's time for a little bit of talking. The title already says why. Today, on the 28th of May 2022, I have been writing Owlnother World for exactly one year. In five days it will be one year since the first chapter was posted on RoyalRoad. It's... kind of insane to think about it.

Since I started I have written 212 chapters averaging 2000 words. That's somewhere around 424.000 words total. Add onto that the 30k from the new project and it's over 450.000 words in one...

The tea was ready and I poured for everyone. My shadow tendrils only elicited a weak reaction after everything they learned about me already.

The girl nodded meekly.

As Circe left the room, Mira opened the shutters watching out onto the clearing. She leaned on the windowsill with a deep sigh.

“You are strange, Fio”, she said eventually, “I have never seen a beast as smart as you. Sapience is not enough to explain it.”

I won’t disagree completely but I have met several animals that were able to integrate into society. Then again, t...

Hey there!

Just a quick update. I'm at my sister's place today playing with my nephews. I have one chapter ready but I want to post both together so it's gonna be until tomorrow.

A little late today. I decided to get V Rising for some reason which took up a few hours of the afternoon. Anyway, here it is! A bunch of exposition which I tried to package in an interesting conversation. I hope it worked out.

I soared above the forest looking for something to hunt. The crisp morning air was clearing my mind. I should probably get some proper rest soon. With all that time spent teaching my family how to speak, at least telepathically, I had not had much time to myself.

My eyes scanned the trees, looking for something decent to fill my stomach. I could fly out over the plains as well but that was extra d...

Chapter 208 Familiar

Author's note:

Hey there!

This chapter is special. Why? Because it's the only scene I had planned when I started posting on RR. Yup. That's right. This scene was the only one.

Also, for David Brims and his incredible support, I named the character introduced in this chapter after Greek mythology. She's going to play some kind of important role but I don't know how big. And it's pronounced Kirke rather even though it's written Circe.

That's it, for now. Enjoy the chapte...

Hoot!

Here it is! I'm super tired. Also, only one today. Double on Sunday. It works out better for the next two, anyway.

On another note, I started exercising on Wednesday. Bought running shoes and made a round through the park. I only read today that I should take a day off while I'm just starting out so that's what I did today. Still, tired.

That's it, for now! Enjoy the chapter!

Hey there!

I've got a new one for you! We are returning to some parts that are around 200 chapters ago. 

If you need a refresher, I've put together the first 8 chapters into one file (15,966 words). Download link is at the bottom of the chapter for both an epub and pdf version. These are the slightly edited ones with fixed tense and wording after a first pass. I don't think the first eight chapters are going to change a lot from here. I'm pretty happy wit...

Oh, I remember something I wanted to say. I'm writing these chapters to be welcoming for new readers. You're supposed to be able to start on 202 without any previous knowledge without it being too disrupting. That's why there's a bit of recap here.

The next one is gonna be a lot of new stuff, though, so look forward to that!

“Have some more tea, Fio”, Safrah said as she poured some of my favourite berry blend into the bowl. The dwarf’s furry pointed ears were covered in her favourite dionan. For her, that meant two soft leather pieces stitched with the images of an owl and an ocelot.

Hey there! 

This one's really short so I'm not counting it as a chapter. The next one is not too long either. Together, they're 2500 words. The double chapter for Great Horned Owl is gonna be on Sunday this week.

This one is also the prologue to the second half of the story. If Owlnother World were to go into traditional publishing, everything up to now might be shortened to fit into a single book. It's a web serial, though. And I don't care about the rul...

Hey there!

I'm kinda tired. The heat is getting to me a little. Still, I got this done. Pretty sure this is the end of volume 6. Volume 7 is gonna start on Friday. I have an interlude chapter planned that could be an epilogue to v6 or a prologue to v7. Depending on how long that ends up, I might not count it as a full chapter. If that's the case, this week's double might be delayed. I'll figure it out!
