Jan 10: Still alive! Just not feeling very creative yet. I've gotten a better handle on my grief and hope to be back in the writers saddle in the near future!

May 9: So not to get too ahead of myself, but I've started to reread through what I've written so far, and should be ready to pick up chapters again soon! Woot, only almost a year later right?

May 10: On chapter 13 of my reread, making a few previously overlooked edits as I prep to start work on a new chapter.

May 17: Finished my reread today. This week is gonna be hectic, but hopefully chapter 21 will be ready by next weekend.

May 24: Sorry, work and other things ate up my time this week so the chapter will be pushed to sometime this week/weekend.

May 31: So chapter 21 of Chaos, Order and Balance is up! Next week I plan on doing chapter 22 (Which will likely end up being lemony goodness.) before rereading The Bet and working on chapter 6 for that.

June 7: So a bunch of things wrecked my free time this past week, starting with buying Destiny and playing the hell out of that, to a birthday and friend gatherings. So I'll need to attempt chapter 22 for next week.

June 15: Sadly no progress made this week. Getting back in the swing of this is more difficult then I remember. And the next chapter is a saucy one at that. Got to be in the right mood to write effectively in that category, and I'm not going to do it half-assed. Pray to the gods of naughty so I can get my smutty mojo going, because after Ch 22 I'm getting back to The Bet and who knows what kinds of thinks can happen in that story. Sorry for the writers block/distractions, but good is always better than fast, even in a Sonic story. -w-

June 25: You ever have one of those weeks where you want to rip your own face off and throw it at someone while its screaming "Fuck You!", well that's about how things are going for me right now. Damn rl problem always fucking shit up. B/ I was hoping that when I came back from the abyss that I'd be able to play catch up a little for all the time I was gone... but the universe is not my friend. So I'm still here, but my releases are going to be annoyingly erratic for the foreseeable future, considering the eclipse like effect of having free time and inspiration is required to write anything. Sorry to those of you who were actually happy that I was still alive for the disappointing speed of updates. I shall continue to post the alive beacon here along with any updates and random thoughts.

July 17: Still alive, but work has been keeping me busy, and most of my free time gets eaten up by friends and shit I have building up in my need to watch/play pile. I need more free time, because there is just to much shit to do.

August 18: Holy shit I've been out of it for a while. New work hours, family issues, and a shit ton of other life problems all happening rapid fire. And I have the flu or something now just to top things off. I hope things settle down soon since I'd like to get back to writing these stories and some other things I've got in the works, but stuff just seems to be getting more complicated by the damn second around here. Is it so much to ask for just a little calm, huh universe? T-T

October 9: I'm sorry for not flashing the alive signal sooner, but after a work related injury and two more death's in the family with one just waiting to happen, not to mention the ever growing list of shit going wrong/shit to do, I've been having a hard time of things. I'm not calling it for these stories, but I'm also not sure when I'll be able to get back to them in the foreseeable future. So I'll still try and let you guys know how things are going on here. Sorry things have stalled out for so long, I'm none to happy about it either.

July 29, 2016: Man life can really get out of hand some times and things can get sidelined big time. I don't expect anyone to still check this page anymore, but I'm still out here in the universe, and surprisingly still writing; just not any Sonic stuff right now, though I haven't forgotten my stories or any of you guys who read them. I've since started working on my own original series of Light Novels, though I'm still working on the first book atm, (Around 28,000 words in so far). I'm still super slow at actually writing down my phantasmal dream worlds as always, sorry. w Once I'm further along/closer to the art de-rusting portion of production, I plan to free up time to produce more chapters of my stories. So even though it will still likely be a while yet, the stories I've started will go on!...Unless somebody murders me or I'm struck by lightning or some stray meteor. I guess then someone will have to find the dragon balls and wish me back huh? :3 So I won't tempt fate and say I'll always post what's what every month, but I'll try and at least seem alive. And who knows, maybe a little Sonic & Knuckles writing on the side might do me some good. ;3

September 7, 2016: Still managing to squeeze in time for my book...but not as much as I want. Only at around 32,500 words. Barely over 4k words since my return to the world post. Between work, being a frickin genie for an immobile senior family member every 10 minutes, times set aside for friends, illnesses, and all the catch up I'm playing with all the new anime, shows and games coming out...time can eat a bag of dicks!

November 13, 2016: Still alive, though I've starting to run out of family and friends to bury. Two more downed last month so I've not been very active. Only just got back to working on my book. Not really worth a work count update, but I have somewhat of a synopsis (likely subject to change) that I will be putting in under the news like things area. Now if only I could get a little normalcy, I don't think it's to much to ask to go a few months without some catastrophe popping up...right?

December 13, 2016: So things are calming down...for the moment. Still trying to collect my mindset after everything, but I've actually managed to get some work done on me book. 40,300 words/108 pages as of Sunday. I've also decided that the next story chapter I'm gonna work on will be The Bet since it has literally stalled at least 4 evers. I hope to get to it maybe this weekend, but my friends have commanded that I go see Rogue One so... But it will be the next chapter on the not book block. Plus it'll be a nice change of pace 'w'

January 21, 2017: I am easily distracted, and as such have not found time for working on The Bet because the internet is shiny sometimes...that and time is constantly that asshole who always fucks with shit when you're not looking. I have however been able to get further on the book which as of today has reached 50,200 words/129 pages. I believe I'm somewhat past the halfway point, so I'm hoping it will go smoother on the down swing. I still have tomorrow off so hopefully I can still manage a little more productivity towards something since grow dustified.

January 22, 2017: Got annoyed that The Bet hadn't been worked on like I'd planned, so I spent some time rereading through the story and got into Ch 6 today. Only about a third of the way done but it is comin'. TAKE THAT UNIVERSE! I will multitask and my will shall be done...in the form of necromancy... 'w'

March 3, 2017: So yeah, Ch 6 of The Bet took longer than I thought since I started playing Fallout 4 for the first time ever...holy shit that game is worse than Skyrim! It has been practically eating my free and not so free time...and probably a lot of time that should be spent sleeping. It is great, and I love games that let me build shit, slaughter my enemies and let me hear the lamentations (and many curses) of daer women! But damn it takes forever to fully do any one thing or area in that game at almost every point in time. Okay, so rambled about that for a bit, proved existence for the time being, so now for the progress update. So before I've add anything to it this weekend, the book is now at roughly 57,500 words/144 pages, and still a whole boat load more to go...not to mention trying to recoup my banished artistic skills that'll have to de-rust for the cover art and pictures. Still a long road ahead, but progress is progress :3

April 8, 2017: Was planning an update sooner, but sorta got lost in the ether for a while. Legends of the Aegriel is now at 68,000 words/168 pages. Probably going to cross over the 70,000 word line next weekend and start up Ch 7 of The Bet. Hoping to keep up productivity on both fronts while the world distracts me :D Maybe I'll even manage to update what's happening more frequently...maybe...sometimes...possibly. PS. Still lost in Fallout 'w'

August 31, 2017: So yeah, a bunch of shit happened since my last alive signal. Job shit, one of my 4 remaining family members nearly got taken out by a super infection, a multitude of housing stuff...probably going to move soon to nyx that shit. Couple other things. Add into that my already crippling gaming and show addiction, general sloth like tendencies, and secluding my self to finish my book...which I literally just finished like a half hour ago, clocking in at just under 105k words/253 pages. Finally the first one is ready to edit... *insert lazy woot sound here* So with all those things combined, I'm am CAPTAIN VANISH!!! Definitely not hero material though. And as for Ch 7 of The Bet, as you've probably guessed, I don't have an eta on it yet. But it will pop up soonish I hope. Though given my proclivity for chaos, I want I hope to mean September, but... Anyway, if anyone still cares enough to notice this post, I'm still kicking, and once I'm done editing, I'm float my genre milkshake of a book to DUH WORLD!!! Wish me luck on continued not death.

May 10, 2018: Still life in me yet! My comp exploded back in September and I only got a temporary replacement as of March, so yeah, balls. Also figured out I've been battling apathy syndrome for the last few years, which has put some stuff, primarily my lack of motivation to do virtually anything, into perspective. JOY!! So my goal is to force myself back into writing so as to resist the suffocation that is indifference to the world around me. And though I still need to get my stuff off the old hard drive, which surprisingly enough survived the electronic BBQ, I'm gonna reread through my stories and get to writing once more. It will be a slow process thanks to the whole up hill battle against the fucks steadily draining out of me, but I'm gonna try and will through that shit doing something that use to bring me delight.

News like things maybe.

Novel Synopsis VVV

Legends of the Aegriel:

A Star Falls on a Land Divided

Vesa, a world ruled by dozens of corrupted kings and queens vying with each other for power and their own selfish desires, while war, slavery, drugs, banditry, famine, and all manner of other cruelties oppress the people of this planet astride nearly total despair; until it spreads to a small village to the far west of the continent of Arile. When an army of over two thousand bandit's descend on the secluded place. Three monstrous sisters will be stirred to action. And on their path to bloody revenge and ideals of change, a fateful encounter and an ominous trial, guide them toward a power beyond comprehension. A power that would bring great change...one way or another. Are they to be the saviors of their world, or aides to this enigmatic power that may not be what it seems?

Either way, their story is just the beginning...

Feel free to PM and post reviews! Attention is like crack to writers. I'll be rotating updates between Chaos, Order and Balance & The Bet... for the most part... maybe.

If you notice an editing miss, my spell check deciding to write its own version of my words, or something along those lines, PM me, don't post it in the review section. Because when I fix the problem (if there is something to change) it just becomes dated misconception rather then your thoughts on the story, which is the point of the review. PMing me technical fixes helps me since my usual editor straight up refuses to read my stories until they're finished. So until then, I end up editing my own stuff right after writing it; and that's never a good idea. If you see something that sounds off to you, message me and I'll look for it. Obviously send me the chapter number and the line or lines that you suspect of conspiring to take over the world... or worse, my story. I can work word find so just a few words should point me to what you mean. Thanks to you guys who make the effort and also to those who keep coming back, resounding the call for more updates.

Chapter 21 of Chaos, Order and Balance up now! Reception!

Chapter 6 of The Bet up now! Story rating changed from T-M for explicit content.

For those that are curious, when the two stories I'm currently working on get further along (or one of them ends) I will likely start a new story or finally go back and breath some more chapters into Nightmares. If I decide to make a new story, Adventure Time and TMNT are strong front runners at present.I might also consider doing some crossover universe stuff. Maybe I'll do a poll or something when it gets that far; still probably a ways off yet though.

Some of my favorite universes in case you guys find bad ass stories you think are worth recommending.

Sonic (Obviously) Both Comic, Game and or TV variants

Adventure Time

TMNT

MMPR

Zelda

Do not send me dude on dude stories because I will not read them. I don't mind stories with gay characters, but yaoi stuff doesn't work for me. If you guys like that its cool but I'm not interested in stories centered around it.

Possible Spoilers Below!

Chaos, Order and Balance starts out pretty heavy and gets kind of crazy, but it has action and comedy woven in even if it doesn't feel like things are going so well. The romance portion probably won't be very heavily felt until a fair bit into the story. I have had a few people ask how long this story is going to be and if I intend to break it down into multiple stories. To the first question, this is going to be a long one so long as people keep enjoying the stories progression. With that said, I will not be breaking this story into parts. I'm just not that big on the idea, not for any particular reason though. I might start up new or interconnecting stories alongside this one but not for a while I think. But I'm random some times.

Characters that will more than likely be in the story if they aren't present already. Note that many may remain unnamed.

Knuckles, Sonic, Tails, Sally, Julie-Su, Amy, Rotor,

Nicole, Bunnie, Antoine, Mina, Elias, Uncle Chuck,

(Acorn Council), Cream & Cheese, Vanilla, Big,

Geoffrey St. John, Hershey, Mighty, Ray, Espio,

Vector, Charmy, Saffron, Matilda, Robotnik (Eggman),

Snivley, Lien-Da, Dimitri, Shadow, Rouge, Omega,

Hope, Abraham Tower, Blaze, Marine, Dr. Nega,

Captain Whiskers, Johnny, Silver (maybe)
