《Flight of Icarus》Update 7/23/2016
Advertisement
Hey!
I'm really exited to say that I finally uploaded my new story. It took me a long while of planning, changing my opinion, writing and rewriting but I'm finally semi-satisfied with the result of the first few chapters. (If I waited till I was fully satisfied, the story wouldn't be uploaded for all eternity most likely. I already rewrote the first chapters three times...)
Anyway, for those interested, I present Dream Chaser. The synopsis might not be anything special but give a chance to this dystopian fantasy. I promise it's gonna be epic. At least in my mind it is ;P
As a side note, I'm gonna give out some old random stuff I had from writing FoI like Character Sheets and some extra stuff I never uploaded.
So, here it goes:
Personalities: - This is an in-depth look into most of the main characters (Ace, Monthu, Paradox, Hawk, Aurora, Dark, Nein, L, Caro)
Characters - An updated list of characters that should contain all the people that were ever named in the story with their descriptions
Titles And Abilities - A list I was never good at and stopped updating halfway through the story maybe..
Hunt - A short half a chapter of how I imagined him hunting down the whole city some year prior to actually writing the chapter.
Drawings - Pictures I begged off of my friend when we were still in highschool (ah... that feels like it was forever ago). It has drafts for Hawk, Aurora, Paradox and even the Hound. Ace also included, even if I shared it before.
FoI Plan - Here you can see my plan for the last few volumes when I finally started paying attention to where I was going. And how once again, I did it for like the first part and then kind of just forgot all about it... P.S. It has a quote from one of the people who commented on one of the chapters. Thanks whoever you are because it might have possibly influenced my decision whether this story was going end up as a tragedy or as a saving of a lost soul.

And that's it, I've said all I've had to say. Hope to see you joining me on my new story, and if not, thanks for everything so far!
I'll be off with a short story for you all.
Once in Art class we could draw whatever we wanted and being a no good artist, I drew what was easiest. A form of a human in a wizard's robe, looking away because there was no way I could draw a human's face. So, curled lines were added for hair. Still, it was pretty empty so I drew a few lines at the bottom of the page and added wings to the robed 'human'. In the end it was an angel standing on a cliff; all white and golden while the background was in red and black hues. It was a horrible picture, I'm no artist, after all. Still, the more I stared at it, the more a couple of words came to my mind. I had been writing Flight of Icarus for some time then and I knew instantly who I was staring at. This was how I truly saw my little child.
Walking forward,
Never looking back,
Facing each day
With another lie

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
