Wayward Son Wednesdays–Author’s Notes!
Not a post about my dissertation today, friends–that’ll come on Friday. Rather, it’s to correct a *little* bit of disappointment I had with the course of Wayward Son. See, I’d intended to post several more entries about it before finishing it off–but as it happened, I managed to get it out super quickly, completing it […]
The themes of Wayward Son
Well, everyone, it’s finally over. After over nine years and one million words, Wayward Son is finally completed. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3133712/83/Wayward-Son Lord, is it a relief. All that work finally come to fruition. I’ve already said a lot on other places–my Livejournal (now abandoned), the Writer’s Guild, places like that. I don’t need to repeat it here. […]
On Writing: Making Renault Believable
Wayward Son is progressing well, my friends–very well indeed. I’ve already finished up chapters 81 and 82, and I’ll get started on the final chapter soon. I hadn’t expected to make this much progress, which means I may end up posting a lot of my Wayward Son entries *after* I finish the series, not before. […]
My Favorite Scenes in Wayward Son
Hey guys! After such a big entry last time, I thought I’d be a little easier on myself with a smaller entry tonight. I’ll just quickly list off my favorite scenes in Wayward Son 😀 This will be in the order that I liked them, not necessarily their order in the fic itself, so watch […]
Canon Concerns
A slightly meatier entry than my previous ones, friends. It may also be a bit relevant to fanfiction in general, so hopefully of interest to a wide array of writers rather than just Wayward Son fans or even Fire Emblem fans! Today I’ll be discussing how I (tried) to ensure Wayward Son stayed in compliance […]
Gunlord’s favorite writing place and time! And Amazon.com hauls!
A considerably shorter and perhaps more whimsical entry for you today, my friends. Today, I’d like to talk about my favorite places to write! I’ve worked on Wayward Son in all kinds of places. My house, my dorm room in college, my dorm room and apartment in grad school, public areas and Internet cafes, and […]
Writing Perspectives: Things that Make a Long Fic
After nearly 10 years (this past August was its 9th) Wayward Son is coming to an end, my friends. I just published chapter 79 and it’ll all be over with chapter 83. I made that point, among others, at the end of the latest chapter, and I also made a promise: To post some entries […]
Writing Log #21: Ahead of schedule!
Things are going pretty well in Gunlord land, my friends–not enough for a long entry, but just enough for a brief description of all the stuff I’ve managed to do! First, in reference to Wayward Son: I’m almost done with chapter 77, a little less than half a month until it’s actually scheduled to be […]
More Wayward Son art~
Hey guys! Been super busy this Friday, and alas, haven’t ran into any reall pithy quotes in my reading that I thought would be good for this blog. So for today, I’ll be falling back on the work someone else has done–namely, the most excellent Databunny, who’s made some more sketches for me! 😀 😀 […]
Writing Log #20: Bringing Things Together (Inspiration)
Not much to report this week, friends. I got a *little* bit of work done on chapter 70 of Wayward Son this week, but I happened to make a comparatively large amount of progress today. I got maybe a couple hundred words done per day over the past week, but this Friday, I finished just […]
