They most likely do, but it would be too dangerous to try to make use of them under the Knowledge of Magic Non-Proliferation regulations.

Re: Writing Status

OMG Eric you are one mean MOFO.. I do not think that everyone has noticed that that was the end of the Woodward Academy.  Unless I missed something in the forums.  You have just took us on a several year journey to leave us with the ULTIMATE Cliff hanger.  OMG.  Still, an excellent story as are most of yours.  Your mind works in many mischievous ways.  All I can say is, "WOW".  Job well done.
Take care.

Yeah, involuntary bowel movement is never a good thing. Eric is tough with the books, not terribly mean about these things.

Re: Writing Status

Update for November 3, 2020:

The following items have been marked as "Abandoned":

Paladin, both of the Woodward Academy graphics series.

Paladin has been abandoned because I haven't written anything on it in a decade, and I don't see me writing on it in the next decade, either.

The Woodward graphics series have been abandoned for a reboot.  I will eventually redo the graphics, with (hopefully) better quality, and in 16:9 ratios.

Re: Writing Status

Update for December 1, 2020:

The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 8: January, has been made public.
The Woodward Academy, Year 8, Chapter 14: May - Emile, has been posted to PRM.

For those who might be wondering, and since it appears so frequently in this chapter, "Emile" is pronounced exactly the same as "Emily".  The spelling difference was done because of the way the name was created (it's an anagram).

Maybe.  I'll check in again once I'm no longer slammed with farm work.

Re: Writing Status

Update for December 28, 2020:

The Misfits Project has been started.

This is not a novel... at least, not at the moment.  Depending on things that do or don't happen in the future, this will either end up being an adult game using the Ren'py engine, or it will become a CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) novel.  Failing both of those things, it will end up being written out into a standard novel format.

In order for it to become an adult game, I need to get back into my 3d artwork, and to learn the Ren'py scripting language.  In order for it to become a CYOA, I have to script a CYOA engine for the website.  Whether either of those things will happen is as yet unknown.

So, why start the project?  Because when stories get stuck in my head and I don't write them down, they STAY stuck in my head, to the preclusion of everything else, and I don't get any usable writing done.  This way, the 3,300 words I just wrote on Misfits may allow me to work on other, more immediate projects.

Re: Writing Status

Not sure how I could have made that clearer.  The outcome of the project depends upon facts not yet known.

Adult game is the preferred outcome.
CYOA is the second-most-preferred outcome.
Standard novel is the fallback position.

I will say that, at the moment, option #2 is the most likely.  I've been working on a graphic piece for New Year's, and frankly, my computer seems to be massively struggling to handle the task, which would preclude the idea of creating hundreds of images for a game.  Of course, there are perhaps ways I could speed things along that I'm not currently aware of, and that might return #1 to prime position.

Re: Writing Status

Update for December 30, 2020:

Not even sure why I'm telling you, but the first Misfits section is done.  It's not a chapter; not even close.  It's only like 5,500 words long.  And I have no idea when you'll actually see it, because that depends on what final form it takes, and that decision is a long way off.

But... there you have it.

I may, or may not, continue to tell you when I start/end Misfits sections.  This may depend on how much other writing I actually manage to do.

This concludes WAY8, and the Woodward series as a whole.  Thank you to all my readers, it has been a hell of a ride.

Re: Writing Status

Eric,

First off, happy new year and wishing you a much improved version. Second, just wow! Great ending to a fantastic journey! I love how you “closed† off lots of my questions about things. Thank you for writing such a wonderful story that I will reread again very soon!

Again, best wishes!

Re: Writing Status

Update for January 5, 2020:

Where the Brontosaurs Roam, Chapter 2, has been started.
Misfits' next section has been started.

From now on, I will only mention Misfits if I'm already mentioning something else.  For instance, I actually started the latest section of that yesterday, but am only mentioning it now because I have other news to report.  That way, you'll know if work has happened on it (if you care), but I won't clutter up this feed with numerous reports of what are likely to be very small pieces of writing.
