Chapter four: Bakuro.

In which the author returns to the story after a fucking long time; Korra and Asami have a date; a conversation over tea is had; a revelation is witnessed; and something bad happens.

Highly likely to piss people off, but I’m ready for it.

Enjoy!

Obligatory AM reblog!

=> Wake up pretty confident I can finish chapter four today

=> Take a walk and watch a later episode of Korra on the pad

=> Figure out a badass way to adjust a scene according to changes made

=> Suddenly realize there’s been a lot of telling, not showing going on in the chapter, at least in regard to one character

=> Also suddenly realize that I wrote another character a little blandly and didn’t expand on them

=> So

=> Time for rewrites

=> Boy, I never do those

=> Oops my novel is affecting the way I write in general

…and we’ve got about 5.5K words, running face first into a show-scene rewrite

man do I hate this kind of work

well, I’ll go to bed and wake up more refreshed to hammer it out a little in my morning walk

And I have the start of chapter four, the opening scene of which has Korra meeting Asami’s dad.

Now to bed, though, since I work at 8AM tomorrow…

Joyeux Anniversaire!! XD

A mere present for you. I really loved Xiang and I’m loving her more each time I read your story. I hope you like it, because I was not sure about the design, and I do apologize if she is not according to your liking >.<

I wanted to do a Roxy X Calliope fan art for you, but I really didn’t have time recently to do something bigger (too much projects to finish), maybe next time XD

Chapter Three: Kyougi

In which a good deal of world-building is done, the author is self-indulgent, and Korra takes baby steps.

Enjoy!

Happened more suddenly than I thought, but I’m not complaining.

Expect chapter 3 of Kaisei in the next twenty minutes.

I am quietly amused by these two facts:

• In creating an OC (which I inevitably do when I write fan fiction), I am now much more invested in Kaisei and find it much easier to write.
• Thanks to the story becoming much easier to write, I have basically said “piss off” to my regular writing schedule in order to finish this chapter (which has been languishing for quite a while).

Conclusion of the post: I am much desirous of finishing this chapter and I hope to do it by this weekend.  It’s already over 6K words.
