In the Shadows Beyond This World: Epilogue

Leave a Reply

Well. That’s that. Thanks for reading!

This story clocked in at 129,360 words, or at least that’s how many words I wrote on it since July 2, easily making it the longest thing I’ve ever written, certainly the longest thing I’ve written in one month to this date. Although this epilogue could have been longer, but I ran out of ‘feeling like doing dialogue’ halfway through, even though the dialogue at the beginning was okay. : P Maybe I’ll go rewrite that part later.

Now to do some other projects… to list them, I have:

– 6 pianos arrangements

– A collaborative writing project with Rose, Jenna, Yllamse, and Gaby

– Drawing! Especially art for the games I’m making, and learning how to draw humans in proper perspective, and fanart of whatever I feel like (ZELDAZELDAZELDA)

– Using RPG Maker to make a Fire Emblem game

– Possibly working on my two remaining Fire Emblem 7 novels

– NOT making plans to write a story about the Hero who fought the Shadow Tribe and broke the Fused Shadow at the cost of his own life… darnit…

DONE DONE DONE-ED-Y DONE

In yo’ face, Ganondorf!

Hope you enjoyed. Still an epilogue coming up.

A side note: whenever I clicked on ‘add link’ here in the post creation screen… I giggled. I admit it.

This chapter felt… repetitive. I was so anxious to fit in all the dramatic lines that I think some points were kind of hammered in. And the Franz didn’t get the kick-butt speech that I wanted him to, because I forgot what it was about. It was something about unity, anyway.

So I have no idea what on earth came over Franz at the beginning of this chapter. If it sounds like it was written in a state of still-sleep-deprived insanity, it probably was.

Also Link’s parents just decided they should be important. Although I’m not sure when his mother is showing up. In person, I mean.

I totally support Shad/Ashei. : )

This chapter turned out to be unexpectedly long. Good thing I skipped 95% of the dungeon!

How to lose weight fast! Want to lose 5 lbs in 5 days? Just get RPG Maker (which was 50% off on Steam a week ago) and you’ll never want to do anything else again, including eat and sleep!

But I finished this chapter, although it is not as good as I would like. I really wasn’t sure where it was going. For some reason my outline seems more dynamic than the story itself.

Not sure how to show Rana, since I don’t want her to either take over the story or be annoying, and also Link’s supposed to be kind of oblivious to what she’s actually feeling. For now, at least. It was fun to write Impa and Darunia, though! (Impa, stop throwing tantrums.) And now we get to find out where they’ve been, and Shoza, too. I keep forgetting what things Link already knows, though. Like… “has he figured out Ganondorf was behind everything yet?” or “does he know about Ruto?” both of which were answered a couple chapters ago. : P

It might be helpful to know that Love Over Gold by Dire Straits is Rana’s theme song. : ) Also I think she’s going to have a ‘snap back to her true being’ moment sometime soon, because girl needs it, yo. Continue reading →

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 10: Zant’s Victory

This chapter is REEEAAALLY LONG. If I were to rewrite it, I might cut down some of the dialogue in the second half.

Some notes!

– I totally changed the battle with the Water Temple boss. I just got this dramatic vision, and chase scenes are exciting (and, when you’re watching them, scary), so I went and changed it to something I think is kind of really cool and exciting. I’m kind of realizing I should be making Link more awesome in general, but then it’s a balance between putting him in danger so there’s at least a modicum of tension. But anyway in the NEXT chapter (not this one) he’ll get the Master Sword, and then we’ll really see some fireworks from him. It’s a character development thing.

– I really don’t know where Link’s masks went. I think he lost them in the years between MM and LA. Except Demon, obviously, but he’s not really strictly a mask.

– I’m really hoping it wasn’t previously a plot point in one of my other stories whether Navi could talk to animals or not. I’m trying to work with a very firm line between “here’s who can talk to whom”. Continue reading →

Kay. Chapter 1. If you check the writing page, you’ll see that I’ve got the chapters all planned out, though some of the chapter titles might change. So I’m hoping this goes pretty quick. Having realized that writing characters interact is most fun for me, this story is probably going to be less action-packed, despite its subject matter, than I would normally do, because I’m not forcing myself to write action scenes everywhere. However, hopefully when there are action scenes, they’ll be boss, because Link deserves it. : D

I have discovered I can roast marshmallows on a fork over a candle. :3 This pleases me.

I think there’s a quote from Castle in the Sky in the Twilight Princess soundtrack. Not sure if it’s on purpose, or even who the quotation is connected to in the TP soundtrack. I think it’s vaguely associated with one or two tracks that are about either Ilia or Midna. I wasn’t really paying attention. EDIT: I mean a musical quote. Not a text quote. That wouldn’t make sense.
