Update 9/15/23 - New Chapter on Sunday!

Hey y'all! I'm back ;-)

To my shock, it's actually been a very productive month! Chapters 27 and 28 are finished (and chapter 29 is halfway there, but I know where I'm going with it). I also went back and reviewed chapters 1-10, which is something I've been meaning to do for a while.

My writing has improved a lot since starting this fic, and I've been itching to go back and rewrite/tweak those early/unbeta-ed chapters. I rewrote chapter 1 a few months back, but I just rewrote chapter 2 this last week and I'm much happier with it. The rest of the chapters were thankfully less terrible than I remembered, so I only had to clean them up a bit. With that in mind, I highly recommend a re-read if you've got the time! The rewritten chapter 2 is way more intense and it gives a bit more character to Alannys, who will continue to be fleshed out in coming chapters.

Chapter 27 will be posted this Sunday, and we'll hopefully be back to weekly updates for a while after that. Fair warning, chapter 27 will be pretty emotionally intense, but hopefully also somewhat cathartic. After that, we'll be wading more into ironborn culture and politics as Westeros continues to fracture and fall apart.

As a final note, I've got a couple character playlists y'all might be interested in. I highly recommend listening to the Lanny playlist while reading this newest chapter on Sunday, it absolutely wrecked me lol. I've also had a Quen playlist simmering for a long time, so feel free to check it out!

the kraken's daughter (Quen)

the woman who waits (Alannys)

See y'all on Sunday!!
