《The Brotherhood Archive:Crossroads(Revised)》Seriously, an updated after two years.
Advertisement
Greetings, I'm putting this here as an official notice to anyone who wished to know. This is why I wish RoyalRoad had a system where I can address readers directly and broadly, like a journal feature, that for me to have to do things like this.
I have decided, now is the time for me to go back to do another round of revisions making the 5.0 of this current novel.
A few things are going to change a bit to align with my current vision of what I want the Brotherhood Archive. The Archive never existed when I wrote this novel. As stated, Hy'Ruh-Ha started as a write exercise that was transformed into a standalone story. However, the story has progressed into a chronicle fantasy.
Basically, Theris, has been the one writing these stories about the elves who influenced him the most. Thus, I'm going to be editing everything to be more aligned with this in mind.
There are some things I'm aware of that I'm going to tweak a little most Soletus and his family. Mien is fine. It's just most mostly the words and descriptions I'm going to fix. I will not change the entire story from one genre to another where I'm making this story into a slice-of-life lit-rpg visual novel except written. The story is basically the same I'm just making it better.
The major thing I'm changing are the quotes in that I'm making them longer, so they read like the style in Edict. Also, to be a little clearer about everything.
For example:
Current: After I chased my mother away from my cell, the red haze of anger that lifted from my eyes. It was then I realized I had made a terrible mistake.
New Chapter one opening without final edits.
Princling, I don't know where to start with something like this. The beginning is not when I was born, or when my father died. No the beginning is actually the end. The end of life as I knew it completely. When I changed my trajectory to one path to the next. So the beginning is when I was in a prison cell at age 18. After I chased my mother away with nasty biting words. As harsh and full of vitriol as I could make them. Then after all the rage inside of me was spent, that red haze cast over my eyes, finally lifted. It was then I realized I had made a terrible mistake.

Basically, I will expand that I've written.
The second is that I am doing is removing the chapter titles. As much as I was proud of myself for doing them. Chapter titles are hard. They were a pain to think up of. My choice was to title Edict's chapters, or remove Hy'Ruh'Ha's titles for consistency. I removed them as so many of them needed to change anyway, but I will not stress myself with thinking of new ones when editing is stressful enough.
The story will be re-posted and I debated this for a long time, but I've decided that I will be removing the old chapters and designing a new cover. This is the purpose of this notice, a warning, so I repeat:
All Current Chapters will be removed from RoyalRoad. They will be temporarily available on my website: https://brotherhoodarchive.com/
However, this will only be until I finish posting the edits, then that version of the site will be shut down. I will have a new website in the works that will contain the new versions as they become available. They will be displayed there, but I was thinking of having them as a PDF or epub to be downloaded in full there. The website will host the new novel that I am working on. I don't have a release date. It'll be sometime next year.
Depending on how well the reposts perform will determine whether or not I will post the new novel to RoyalRoad. Changes didn't perform so well. And I have a feeling why Changes didn't do so hot and to me it signals that Eroden, the new novel, will not do so well. I will post everything Neovel at the same time to see which is the better platform. As much as I like RoyalRoad as a platform, I cannot just keep posting on a platform that is going to work out as I want it to. I'm not looking for thousands of reader, but I am looking for a place that has readers for slower paced stories.

The projected start date is December or earlier. Whatever comes first.
And that is it. I will change my user name yet again to match a new pen name. I've come to realize that L.J. Anders is very close to another writer that writes erotica. This relates to future endeavors and I rather not be confused with someone I'm not for publishing reasons.
