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.

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 14: It’s Always Spiders

Yay, another chapter! This one might be slightly shorter. I left out most of the temple. Because.

I have so many characters I can’t fit them all comfortably in the screen. Seriously. I guess that means I’m too unfocused, and I should be writing more about Link and what he’s thinking and feeling. But… Saria! and Midna! and Franz! and Navi! These people are all important! And Rana, too, I guess. Lol j/k I like her too. She’s going through a difficult spot, but she seems to be getting better. We’ll see how things end up by the final chapter. Can’t wait for it! (and continued apologies to people who anti-ship Link/OC. I don’t mind other ships, just this story happens to be a Link/OC ship.)

“And fun was had by all” is possibly the most OOC line in this whole story, but it’s also one of the ones I’ve enjoyed writing the most so far. Heh.

I gave Franz his magic whistle in character development, but now it just seems like an excuse for Link to be lazy. To which I say, lol, why not.

It is stupidly hot in here. Agh. I didn’t go anywhere all day and I am happy with this decision. I did read the Portal 2: The Final Hours thingy, and it was pretty cool. : )

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 9: The Prince From Labrynna

Man, I have to say, I love writing banter between Colin and Link and assorted other people. I feel I’m reasonably pleased with this chapter. Although now I’ve forgotten all the things I was going to say about it. I stayed up all night again! This is probably bad for my skin and my mental health, but it’s okay. I’m creationing. I deal with it later.

IF THIS WERE A STANDARD NANOWRIMO I WOULD HAVE WON NOW

ELEVEN DAYS (TEN BECAUSE I DIDN’T WRITE ON THE FIRST DAY) (OR MAYBE NINE BECAUSE I MISSED ONE DAY AFTER THAT, TOO)

THIS IS A NEW RECORD FOR 50,000 WORDS FOR ME

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 6: Strength

Yay, another chapter done! I think I can finish another one tonight. I think the battle at the beginning of this one is pretty good, partly because I went and watched someone playing through that scene. It helped make the mood of the scene more immediate for my writing. Hope it shows! Oh yeah, and also this chapter is the end of rewriting old stuff. From here out, it’s all new!

I also used these pictures as some inspiration, not directly, but just for the heroic tone that Link carries with him. Also you may enjoy this cute.

Let’s see, today I also have several emails to write, a run to go on, laundry to take care of, and organ practice to do.

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 5: Epona’s Return

I went to Sunfest yesterday! So I didn’t get any writing done. Or editing this chapter to post here. But I did listen to some great French-Canadian music (Genticorum is cool!) and a live salsa band and a crazy Romanian band.

Chapter 6 is being hard and I’m only a couple pages in. : P

 

Chapter 4: Faith

 

Chapter 5: Epona’s Return

There was an air vent out of the basement, and he used it to struggle out into the open.

He emerged behind the chicken coop and sniffed experimentally. He couldn’t sense any other pieces of Light in the area, and hoped he was done with collecting it.

He was on his way to the Spirit’s Pool, which was tucked away into a corner of the canyon – if it had been there when he’d visited Kakariko before, he could understand why he missed it. Goddesses, the last time he’d visited the place felt like it was in a past life. Continue reading →

Another chapter for you guys! Gonna make a start on the next one.

 

Chapter 3: Martyr Complex

 

Chapter 4: Faith

Link scrambled to his feet, shaking his head to clear it. His sword was already in his hand, although he didn’t remember drawing it.

Before him stood a mighty Stalfos, with eyes glowing blue, and ancient, weathered armour hanging off its bones. The plates of the armour were covered in intricate designs, including the Triforce. Link guessed this must have been a great Knight of Hyrule. It was too bad it was dead and evil, now.

Navi, Rana, and Naeri were nowhere in sight. In fact, the two of them stood in a vast foggy plain, with rocky scrub beneath their feet.

“Link,” said a voice, and the jaws of the Stalfos moved. The voice was hardly deeper than his own, not what he expected from the tall warrior spirit that stood before him.

“Huh?” Link said stupidly. Continue reading →

In the Shadows Beyond This World: Chapter 1: Return from Exile

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.
