It HAS been a hot minute since we've used the OOC. Discord is just so easy, but I can put some activity here!

Been loving the latest posts. Everyone keeps writing more and more emotionally devastating scenes... but it's a dumpster fire I can't look away from. GAH.

Checking the pulse -- we're nearing the finish line, which is super cool! Chapter 5 is almost done. Wolfi and Silv's final posts are almost complete, which will take us into 6/8. Chapter 6 has 5k already written. Chapter 7 will be the final chapter for silv and corv, whose characters will not live beyond it </3. Chapter 8 is an Epilogue.

Here are the word counts so far:
Chapter 1: 19,534
Chapter 2: 27,307
Chapter 3: 44,420
Chapter 4: 47,745
Chapter 5: 35,212

I have a feeling Chapters 6 and 7 will feel faster because of the sequence of events. There will be no 3-year timeskip between them, either!

Writing this story with all of you has been such a joy and a privilege. I'm looking forward to finishing well <3

WE FINISHED CHAPTER 5!


Now, chapter 6 begins! Great job everyone <3 couldn't be prouder. We're making great progress! These last posts were especially well-written and heartbreaking. The characters are all developing... I can see their arcs coming to an end! But not yet!

Putting this here as well: YAY TWO POSTS!

What to Expect the Next Two Weeks:
Next week I'm OOT! Write-in is cancelled, but if you want to meet and write, you're free to!

Post Priorities:

Lael and Winter will need to collaborate on the Caelan + Ossie scene after Adonis is found, once Winter writes up to it!

Otherwise, it's straight into CH.7 posts now for the rest of us! In posting order, those will look like:

    SILAS: Silas's immediate follow-up post. Last post with him and Saoirse!
    OSSIE: Ossie runs into a panicked Silas (can wait until prev Ossie post is done tho!) and they look for Ivy.
    SAOIRSE: Saoirse kills Uriah. This will be... Saoirse's last POV post.
    IVY: Ivy kills Hoss and blows up the base.
    CAELAN: He finally says his goodbyes, breaks Cassia's heart, and sees the base go up in flames from afar.

We're finally hitting the endgame, guys... it's happening.

Quick note for winter:
In Ch6-7 Ossie is 22. 4 & 6 years apart, Mabel is 4 years younger and grace 6. So Mabel is 18, Grace is 16.

Now that a new chapter is in the books, it's time for a new word count total:

Chapter 1: 19,534
Chapter 2: 27,307
Chapter 3: 44,420
Chapter 4: 47,745
Chapter 5: 35,212
Chapter 6: 25,028

Total WC: 199246

That puts us just under 200k, which means with Chapter 7, we're sure to surpass it. As I suspected, it looks like we're about to write 2 novels' worth or words together, which is so cool and impressive.

I'm excited to bring chapter 7 to life. It's the culmination of everything we've been leading up to! So many "finally" moments, for better or worse (worse for most characters, and better for us?).

:^) You all are doing amazing and I've had so much fun. LOVE YOU ALL and see you on Monday heh
