the ramble dump

Finally, it's here!

Wow!

Yay!

Huzzah!

Today is the first of the three launchdates, and I bringeth you three sparkly new City of Anarchy chapters.

Chapters One and Two of City of Anarchy have undergone a lot of change. Descriptions have been fleshed out, the structure has been smoothed out, and rubbish characters have been thrown out and replaced with better characters. These newly revised chapters generally do a much better job of setting the stage for the story than the original ones did. There's a lot of old stuff I've kept in, but nothing has gone without being updated, and there are some additions that really help add to the tone, making the creepy bits creepier, the dark bits darker, and the insane bits all the more insane.

Chapter Three is completely new. It wasn't until I'd finished writing it that I realised it has very little dialogue, especially compared to the first two chapters. It's an action chapter, and I'm pleased with the way this one turned out more than any of the others. It really gets the pace going, and there's a nice dose of suspense in there too. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Although there's been a fair amount of problems and difficulties writing these, in the end I've managed to overcome or get around most of them, and they've generally turned out as well as I'd hoped. If you've read the old versions of the first two chapters, I strongly recommend reading the newer versions before you move onto Chapter 3, because they are quite a bit different.

There's also the first chapter of The Aberration, which is pretty much the same as the version I put online back in September, but because of major changes being made in the subsequent chapters, there have been a few things changed, and you might want to read it again so you don't feel completely lost when you read the next chapter.

There's also a little something under About, and be sure to check out the other sections, too. Except Sketchbook, which won't be online until Wednesday.

The biggest of hugest thanks to Melia, who made FMIT's MEGA-ROCKIN' design. I love it, which is why our wedding is still on in Octember.

Until Wednesday...peace out!
