《Euphoria [DISCONTINUED]》Author Note - Life, College, Writer's Depresssion and Birthsdays
Advertisement
Lord Joyde the Madman: Heylo, everyone! How are you all doing?
So uh, guys and girls, I have a confession to make.
If you've been reading my more recent Author Note's, you may have noticed how I've been referring to myself as a "lazy gamer" and, while that is somewhat true, its not the full story.
You see, as both a writer and a reader, I've had the experience of what I'm about to tell you from your point of view, which makes this far harder and more shameful than it needs to be...
In short, I need to focus on my real life for pretty much the next couple months. I got myself into a really awesome and unsurprisingly very, VERY difficult college which will require more than 100% of me to be successful at.
(I've officially doomed myself to become a Physics Scientist/Professor)
Hell, even the preparations for it, all the shit I had to do in order to get in was super stressful, not to mention how I had to pay 7.5k in order to even apply.
What this means is that I'm gonna be unable to upload anything, not on Fanfiction.net and not for Euphoria.
In other news, I'm turning 20 tomorrow, so cheers y'all!
I hope that you guys will be able to forgive my rather sudden and incredibly awkward retreat from the writing stage. I'll do my best to post at least 1 random chapter a month, but I promise nothing as I have two chapters stuck in development and seemingly never to get out of it.
Chapter 8 of my D Gray Man fanfic, Not This Time And Never Again or NTTANA has been in the making for several months now, just standing there halfway done with around 1.5k words and that last thousand does not seem to ever come out right.

As for Euphoria... god, I really hate this site's positioning sometimes (not to mention my own clumsiness -.-). I've deleted the Pittings raid scene at least twice now, which has resulted in the two rather unnecessary filler chapters you've had to experience recently and even those were weeks apart from one another.
This, combined with the incredible amount of writers depression (when the block is so huge that it drains your morale), is why I think I'm just gonna take a LONG time off to focus on irl stuff and hopefully get my life in order before I ruin everything and lose interest in my own stories.
So uh, goodbye until then, I suppose! I wish you all good luck, health and general happiness! ADIOS FOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!

Midori
The sea of stars. The momentaneous lifeforms that flicker far away. Our futures — a sea brimming with light. Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. The world, however, is far from the ideals of such a mantra. Complacency is the enemy of progress, yet to the four known nations, each one sees enemies around their borders. An example: A village isolated from the nation of Alkai prevents the lives of many from progressing. It’ll take a society, a group, even a whipped together rag-tag team to jump start the quest for progress. An escape from a motionless home—in order to search for a greater future, Mira approaches her blade in a new light. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.
