I haven't posted any update about Welcome to Stillen! for quite some time, have I? Here's an update.

When I started posting the chapters, I knew I didn't give them any proofreading; my plan was to fix them later once I got all the chapters out. But I believe I'm a perfectionist or have OCD or something like that, so it was nagging me. Moreover, as I wrote more, I started getting new ideas that I could only incorporate at the beginning of the story (mostly giving some more background about the setting outside of Stillen).

So, I ended up abandoning my writing through Chapter 4 in order to do a complete rewrite of the story. While the story will have its major plot points being the same, its details (and by extension, the details of the setting and the world) are significantly changed to be more fleshed out.

The good news is, the story is still happening. Moreover, it seems to be packed much more with content. As a comparison, my previous story up to Chapter 3 was 102KB in size, meaning approximately 20,000 words over 3 chapters, or approximately 7,000 words per chapter. My current re-write is 40KB in size and is only approximately mid-way through Chapter 1, meaning 8,000 words over half a chapter, or approximately 16,000 words per chapter. That's more than double the size, and I think you'll like it. And if you're not too big into the setting of Stillen, there are way more bits of lore about the world outside, be that the other kinky themas of Hedonia or even the various other topas; hopefully they can give you some inspiration.

The bad news is, I ended up deciding I will only post the whole thing once I'm done with the entire story. I'm planning 6 chapters to the story (one for introduction, basically arrival to Stillen; four to explore the four districts of Stillen; and one epilogue). The whole thing is likely going to take quite a while, possibly a few months. I'm mainly hoping that my motivation and drive will keep me going to eventually finish the story; until that time, you'll just have to wait. If I do keep writing at the pace I'm at, I'm hoping to get it done by my birthday in November.

As mentioned in my previous journal, I really don't like how this site is being managed. I might still post the story here, but I recommend going to either my Inkbunny page or my SoFurry page.
