August 9, 2017 - Story Updates and Covers

Okay, so I think I need to make another blog post, simply because some things are taking too long, and others are coming too fast too soon. So, here is the story progress so far, for all planned, in-progress, and unlisted.

Plastic Stars: Okay, you guys are all going to hate me for this. But I just need to put the epilogue on hold. I hate doing so, since I keep promising you guys it will come out soon. To be honest, I didn't think the epilogue would take so long to complete. The main issue? I keep getting stuck. I have great ideas for each stage, but the words keep getting stuck and I can't formulate the right words to describe what I want. Also, the quality of my work is not up to my standards, so even if I finish right now, I don't think I would release it until I check it again and make sure it's worthy of being called an epilogue to one of my most inspired stories in my writing career. I'm stuck in the middle of the last stage, and I haven't even gotten to the actual ceremony yet, which is killing me. I'm so sorry guys, but I assure you that I will not abandon the epilogue. I just need time to get the right things across.

What Kind of Arranged Marriage is This? (Previously What Arranged Marriage Is This? and Arranged Marriage...?): I know I kept changing the title, but the last name (which was the original title) was actually the placeholder name because I didn't think people would subscribe before I even post something, and I regretted not going straight to the current--and official--title instead of using the second title. Anyway, that story is coming along rather nicely. It's still at a fairly slow rate (only at 1480 words) but I don't plan on it being too long anyway. I'm not going to wait until Plastic Stars is done before I update, though.

Whistle, Whistle, Whistle, is still on hiatus. I just... can't right now. I'm still trying to salvage something out of it, but... I might have to scrap it. I'm sorry to anyone who is still waiting, but I just don't have the inspiration right now.

Lastly, I have one unlisted story that I won't name (because it kind of defeats the point of making it unlisted) and will be unlisted for a while because I don't want to take on too many projects, in case that makes me lose inspiration for one of my stories. I will say this, though: It's a Seventeen 2ji fic. Make of it what you will.

As you guys have noticed, I have made covers for all my stories. I really wanted to make some, but I didn't know how to upload images from an URL and so I didn't bother. Now, though, with the ability to upload images, I can make covers! If you notice, I have my profile pic as a watermark in the bottom left corner. Even if I change my profile pic, this watermark will stay the same. My only complaint about my lack of knowledge about graphics are the size. I wish my covers weren't so big, but I don't know how to make them smaller. Any tips, anyone?

I hope this helped you guys out, and I hope I see you soon!
