Current Status of Projects – 12/19/23

Good morning!

A short update.

Making really good strides the past few weeks, getting closer to where I want to be in regards to my writing. Personally, I'm a bit worried about posting chapters right now as FFnet's story stats have been broken for two months and still haven't been fixed. I'd like to wait until it's resolved before posting an update, but if it comes to it I will just post the reboot onto the blog here and then post when everything is good. Wattpad doesn't have this issue so it's still going to be updated as originally planned.

Just in case this is a thing, I'm just letting you know this crossed my mind and might be a possibility.

Regarding possibility of doing another visual novel route English translation:

There's really only one route that I think would be worth doing, and that's Iroha's route. When I get to a point where I think I can take a break from writing Making up for lost time, which would be next year, I might take a few weeks and finish the project in one go. Now that I've got a process down and learned from Yukino's route, I think I can get it done better/faster than before.

I will NOT (ever) do the Yui or Saika routes, I personally do not care for them. (And just looking through Yui's route on my own time made me sick reading it.) Saki and Shizuka also already have their routes made, and I felt they were lacking in this game so I'm not going to spend the time.

I've also thought about doing (only) Yukino's route from the second visual novel, just because I'd like to have a go at it, even if no one watches it.

Regarding another story in the works:

Completely unrelated to oregairu, I've been thinking about writing a story for a certain video game. I don't know if I will actually do it, but I've got a preliminary outline going and cover art for the story already made. I was dissatisfied with the original story, so I thought about creating a little alternate universe to have fun with what could have been. If you know me, or pay any attention to the references I make in lost time, you might now what game I'm thinking about.

Because I like to be funny, here's a heavily blurred image of the cover I made.

The story probably won't be for everyone, and it might just hit a niche audience. Still, there are concepts and things I want to cover in the story, so it would be interesting to share it at least.

Anyway, that's all I have for now. See you soon and Merry Christmas!
