Hey there, peeps. As you can all see, it’s not January. In my previous post, when I announced the hiatus, I said I wasn’t sure if two months would be enough time to process the loss I was going through. It wasn’t. It still isn’t, but right now I think I’m a much better mindset … More Update!
Hey, lovely readers. This isn’t a post I ever thought I would be making. I hoped to be rushing the Halloween chapter right about now, but early this past week, on the evening of October 24th, my mother unexpectedly passed away. If you go to the acknowledgments page on this blog, you’ll find my mom … More Shadows Rise on Early Hiatus
Hey, peeps, Blackbird here! It’s actually been quite a while since I’ve done one of these. Not since our anniversary in May. So buckle up, folks, I have things to talk about! 😛 In all seriousness, July is a bit of a crazy month for me and I didn’t take that into account at all … More Author’s Notes 21/07/2021
Hey, peeps. Blackbird here. So, I’m currently working on 3.04 as I write this, but since May 1st was the second anniversary of this web serial, I figured I should write something out. It’s been a wild ride. I am, heh, not very used to being proud of the things I do. I don’t see … More Author’s Notes 13/05/2021
Hello! Blackbird here! As you all may or not have noticed, Arc 03 of Shadows Rise didn’t release on February 1st as promised. This was due to unforeseen circumstances. Long story short, I’ve broken the middle finger of my left hand; my dominant hand, I’m a lefty. It’s been two weeks now, I have my … More Arc 03’s Delay And Blog Updates
Hey, guys! Blackbird here! It’s November 27th. And if you haven’t been with us long enough to know what that means, let me tell you: It’s Valcrest’s birthday! November 27th 2010 was the date the first ever post was made in Shadows of The Enlightened, which was the original RP that started this whole entire … More Author’s Notes: 10 Years of Valcrest And The End of Arc 02
Hey, guys! Blackbird here. I know I usually let Plotstains write his editorial posts first, but considering how things went down with the making of this chapter I decided I’m not going to wait and just address this now. I also want to talk about what’s coming up next on Shadows Rise; mainly the end … More Author’s Notes 10/03/2020
Hey, guys! Blackbird here. It’s been a little while since I addressed some behind the scenes stuff, but our editing sessions for the past couple of chapters, coincidentally, had sort of a connecting theme for me. And I think this is the best place to address it. So, let’s do that, shall we? Since I … More Author’s Notes 09/10/2020
Hey, guys! Blackbird here! So, this kind of post is something I usually do on my personal blog, but since I’m steering that blog more towards reviews and further and further away from its original intent; which was to be a writing blog, and the story I’m currently writing and draw all my writing-related ideas … More How To Write Romance (when you don’t like romance)
Hey, guys! Uhm, I’m not gonna beat around the bush here. Becaue if you’re reading this post, chances are you’ve already seen that our counter over on the right says that chapter 2.11 is coming out on August 16th, when it was was supposed to come out, well, in a few hours. This wasn’t a … More Author’s Notes 08/01/2020
