《The Great Tower》Status Update
Advertisement
Well, I accidentally put a chapter from the wrong series here, so I might as well edit it and provide the people who enjoy this series some explanation.
I don't want to say that I'm dropping The Great Tower, but it is on hiatus.
As I've said in the comments, I can't wrap everything up how I want it to, and I scrapped a lot of the final chapter I had written.
For now, I'm started a low stress project to help clear my headspace, and then I'll try again. I'm just not sure how long that will take.
Essentially, the longer I write with the Great Tower, the more plot weight I start to carry, just a combination of ideas about things and dialogue snippets and directions I want to go. Too much and I get writers block, or am too stressed to start writing.
Which is why I've sometimes taken a few months off, allowing myself to forget all of that Plot Weight, and start again.
I suspect this is one of those cases, but this time I at least pivotted swiftly into writing something else, and if anything, my words per day has risen, so I haven't fallen off a cliff.
But thanks to everyone who has supported me and this story. You will get the chapters you want eventually, I promise.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
