I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who has supported my web novel these past few years, and even as I reach the end of the novel (on my end at least, I've still got content to spare in the year(s) to come), I know that with my other projects sitting on my back burner, I will continue to have more stories to tell, and perhaps even more stories from Amanria for those who have fallen in love with the setting.
To keep things brief, I'm currently dealing with the reality that in half a year I have to figure out living arrangements due to a lack of income and essentially being forced to find a means to support myself.
Thank you for your support through reading LoT, if you're interested in helping me out, the best thing you could do is share the story with your friends, on your social media of choice, anything to boost it. Getting to 100 subscribers so I can start earning would help me in the long run.
Here's to 75 more.
I wanted to do the base concept- a story about a wizarding school- justice by doing it better, by building a functional world that at least addressed some of the root issues (having themes of inclusivity and solidarity in a world that simply has neither for no particular reason, themes regarding racism and sexism while simultaneously subverting those same morals)and actively worked to show how even with legitimate concerns and fears, it could be done.
Between not really having a solid plan to begin with, directly referencing a work that I was learning was increasingly problematic, and relying on power structures I knew very little about as part of the narrative, along with a genre I wasn't experienced in that was rapidly changing into something more comfortable to me, and J.K. Rowling's own problematic views coming into the forefront, anything I could do with the story would simply be a disservice to the memories I had, and would be a disservice to the people reading.
I don't know if I'll ever reuse the concept, I feel like there could be a story in the lives of Matthew, Allison, Graeme, and Edgar, but as it stands, I can't in good conscience use a problematic story as a base without a deep understanding of my own personal views and how they relate to the morals of that story, because whether out of laziness or ignorance, or lack of tact therein, my story would only ever be either an inferior product riding on the coattails of a much more successful work, or a scathing diatribe of an unpleasant woman's flawed masterpiece.
Look back only to understand why you are here, let it teach you who you are now, and press onward, ever onward, toward a better and brighter world.
Guess I didn't want to have any more unnecessary hiatuses.
Project Crimson, (Real title, 'Legend of the Otherworld Traveler', or 'LOT' for short,) and will be updating at a weekly schedule until a specific episode is reached, where it will be updated at a bi-weekly rate.
This is to prevent me from running out of available episodes due to writer's block and other outside factors. If you haven't noticed it yet, give it a read.
