Writing Introduction

The goal of this blog is to keep track of the different stories that I have going on right now. Whether this helps out the fans or me more will be decided. Hey, sometimes I just need a swift kick in the ass...and there's nothing like a guilt trip from someone else who loves your story to get you motivated :P

I guess it'll depend on what I'm working on and where I'm at to determine the format. Sometimes it will be a list of the stories and what's going on; other times it will probably be more informal because I'm only working on one story. But I'm at the point where enough people want to know, so I hope its not confusing. Smack me if it is.

So, as a first update in Elyse's Storyland, I'll make a list:

Rebel's Honor (DW) - this story is finished, but I haven't uploaded the whole thing yet. I'm not entirely happy with the way the story went towards the end and I'm in the process of trying to rework it. It'll be more obvious when I finish posting the story. When that happens, I'll go into more detail.

The Dragon's Jewel (DW) - I'm currently writing Chapter 13 of this story, and its taking an exciting turn. Since only 6 chapters have been posted, I won't go into too much detail about what's happening. I will say that the gang is getting ready to make a journey and Liu Chan's becoming a real jerk. Yay.

Call My Name (RE) - I just started chapter 8, which is a Claire chapter. I wrote out the whole storyline and it came to just about 10 pages. Yikes! I'm finding that, the more I write, the more it reads like a game summary. Its kind of weird and kind of cool at the same time. This one is making me curious since I've never written something quite like it before.

Romance of the New Kingdoms (DW) - I'm going to take this story at a slower pace. A lot of people expresses interest in it, but not enough for me to want to add it to my growing list of stories. I'll probably write the first couple of battles and finish off my other stories before I post this one. Its gonna be a long one.

Punch Down (OW) - I'm stuck in another plot hole. I think my problem with this story is that its so close to me and I know that other people involved in the real life drama read it. I'm almost done with the next chapter, but it needs some work before I'm satisfied with it enough to post. Its a shame, since its one of my more popular stories in general. You people are such romantics.

Sarat Rewrite (OW) - I'm done with the rewrite, but it needs to be put on my computer and then edited again. Since my week long vacation is coming up, chances are I'll get it done by mid-July.

Sarat II: Spitfire (OW) - I've got the next chapter up and running, but I'm going to hold off until the Punch Down chapter is done...only because I promised a dual update to my readers. I'm part way through the next chapter as well. Its odd to me that I managed to write Sarat in the span of a few months and yet this story is taking me much longer...oh wait, Sarat was the ONLY story I was writing at the time. Joyous. And yes, I do have at least one more story planned in this saga...hopefully more will come to me...I just love this cast!

Stories in the works: Another Sarat (when I finish the rewrite and the second one), a Xu Huang story (because he needs some fanfiction love), the Dragon Master Prophesy (which may be too large to fit on the fictionpress site), and a Prince of Persia story that mixes the new one with the Sands of Time trilogy. I'm shocked that I haven't written one of these sooner; PoP is the reason I own a PS2 ;)

DW = Dynasty Warriors
RE = Resident Evil
OW = Original Work
