OUR HEARTS AGAPE, UNFURLING

❀ OH NO ITS BEEN LIKE 3 MONTRHS HERES TEN BILLION THINGS

  I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO MAKE AN UPDATE FOR A WHILE NOW BUT I KEPT FORGETTING !! Hopefully I can do better about that in the future !! :-( Merry Christmas and Happy New Years !!!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATIONS: STORY NAME CHANGE

  Unclassified Love/UcLo ➫ Our Hearts Agape, Unfurling/OHAU
  I wanted to change the name of the story to something less on the nose and more... fitting, overall! Something more poetic and evoking of the kind of story it means to tell! Agape is a double meaning; we decided on it in regards to the Greek form of love, agape (unconditional, selfless love.) I'm really proud of it honestly, I've never made a prettier name for a story :-) It's mysterious... like, what exactly does this imply...? In a fun way !

  The story is also no longer told in three arcs (and a chunky prologue with a supplemental epilogue.) There are eight planned arcs (or chapters, more appropriately, as I should probably start calling them) in total, and they are named as follows:

  1 - "A Princess' Genesis"
  2 - "The New World"
  3 - "The Ambush"
  4 - "The Resort"
  5 - "The Snap"
  6 - "Kingdom in Exile"
  7 - "Lost and Found"
  8 - "Our Hearts Agape, Unfurling"

  It isn't New Even More Story so much as it is re-organizing what we already have and what is planned for the future, so that every part of the story is portioned more equally and respectively to significant changes and occurrences within the narrative :-} 1 through 3 are introductory/setup chapters, 4 and 5 are a midway point, and 6 through 8 are the climax to finale. Everything has a rough structure, more or less, for me to work off of, but we've been making a lot of progress on spring cleaning to were we can finally introduce new concepts and characters !There'll still be a lot of spiffing-up and developments to what we already have laid down, but now we can actually add meat back into the plotline. It's like, we've got the basic skeleton of the entire story planned out at this point, which is actually a huge milestone, because we haven't had a set end for it for a year now, give or take! Compared to OHAU's original ending, I think where its going and how it will end will be abundantly more fulfilling and fun, and most importantly satisfactory. I'm so excited !!! :-D

  Additionally, I want to change the WIP characters link to... a story page !! A page separate from the website detailing the actual story of OHAU ! A while ago I started on a document detailing it via an in-depth summary, as i've discovered it's the most efficient way for me to tell the story. Not necessarily a book, but not too quick a read either. I estimate the summary of all eight chapters should come out to be ~16,000 words, not counting the introductory content, but... who knows, that number could very well be over OR under-estimating how it'll turn out. I don't actually have a very good idea of just how long each chapter is, let alone how much it will be to explain everything included in it, especially when OHAU is not even barely out of its basic groundwork stages, and the climactic + finale chapters are only faint, basic ideas at this point. However, that shouldn't be too much of a problem! 1 through 3 should be a matter of just writing them out, as they're the foundational pieces for the grand scheme and I've made sure to solidify them first and foremost. Writing them out chronologically will also help me with the finer details ! I think I'll create the page when I have more time, and I'll set it up so that I can release the chapters as I write them out. It might be fun, if people end up being interested :-) I have the first chapter fully written out, so I'm already off to a good start.

  Otherwise! Story-wise! There has been a. LOT !! But I do NOT have time to write down everything at the mo, and I don't think that I should if I intend to release chapters incrementally. Maybe another time. When it isn't 3:40AM. I don't know. I haven't had the gall to come back and update this site about it because it's mostly been smaller details and mechanics as opposed to groundbreaking, world-changing additions. I'll make a better blog post about it soon ! >:-) I'm going to bed.

- Kyu; ITS SO LATE ATNIGHT AGHH WHY DID I REMEMBER THIS SO LATE
