Um, well, this is incredibly embarrassing. Sorry if you thought it was a new chapter-no, it isn't. And also, no, I haven't died or anything.
Especially, you know, when I had promised that I would update everyday. At the time it had seemed feasible, but sadly, physics dictates such a schedule isn't possible, to get a work out with the amount of quality I demand from myself.
But still, to get it out of the way:
This fanfic will probably be going on hiatus for a short while, probably a month. That's the bad news.
The good news is, in the few weeks I've been busy, I've had a couple of pretty good brainstorms-as in, well, I actually know what my story is going to be about. As in, there will actually be a somewhat logical, coherent plot. And well, yes, it's still going to have insane characters-but lots of things will have changed, and I will most likely rewrite all the things I have written so far.
For example, I plan for my first chapter to take place on a dark and stormy night, upon a lost and damned carrier plane interspersed by random flashbacks. Instead of, you know, another chapter of Cardin beating up Jaune.
My plan is for it to have roughly three acts, tentatively titled 1) Re-enactment, 2) Syllogio/Anagnorisis, 3) Exegesis.
It will hopefully include a cunningly lethal magic school, an army of mindless gods, a love story that transcends causality, and a unrepentant slave-liege-king. It will also contain an insane amount of numbering, from the Seven Sages of Tales Untold to the Unspoken Triumvirs to the Council of One-Oh to the Loyal Ten Thousand.
And tonnes of plot twists. Yes, we can't forget the insane plot twists.
I hope you'll have the patience to wait for another month. Or maybe not.
See you all.
