User blog:FireStar97/Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas CBW

Ho, Ho, Ho! A very Merry Christmas my friends of the CBW! Haven't made one of these in a while. In the year 2016, the year of my return, the year that held joy yet also held terrible moments, Christmas the day of happiness and coming together is here! So, update time is here, it's been so so long. Normally Santa comes bearing gifts this time of year, but not all gifts will be delivered in time.

If everything had gone according to plan, today, this very day, the first chapter of my Sci-Fi Thriller, Erebus, which is subtitled Thou hast Made Me as Clay..., would've been released. But due to unexpected things occurring in my private life the chapter hasn't been finished yet. Currently at a length of 41 A4 pages, the first chapter of Erebus still needs some additional scenes. About three months ago ten pages or so of the chapter were done, but then after a few weeks of planning out the storyline, the character arcs, character backstories, and the themes I ended up rewriting everything I'd already written (the ten first pages). And now we're here, me satisfied with what I've written in those 41 pages yet I feel like the chapter isn't complete yet. So I'm adding some scenes (not small scenes actually) in the chapter to flush everything out a little better.



Erebus is a Science Fiction Thriller/Horror taking place in my new G1 continuation trilogy, The Powers That Will Never Be. The trilogy is a darker and more thematic take on BIONICLE giving old characters new and unsuspected development as well as introducing new locations and characters and the exploration of them. Red Star already offered the mysterious Red Star and Erebus takes it a step further with exploring space as well as the further exploration of Spherus Magna in flashbacks. With Erebus currently at a 41 page mark its first chapter in its 7 chapter story is already longer (almost twice as long) than the trilogy's first story, Red Star. And after Erebus a third and final entry will quite possibly wrap everything up (like Takanuva's destiny for example) so that I have my own BIONICLE G1 continuation that I'm proud of (unlike my previous attempt, The Age of Chaos Cough, cough... ).

So my apologies for the delayed first chapter of Erebus. The release date has been pushed back to New Year's Eve so that I can still release the chapter on a holiday like I wanted it to. This has no thematic purpose BTW, unlike Red Star's release date. What you can expect from the first chapter is the setup of the story, the introduction of characters and plot points as well as the first glimpses of the novel's themes and messages.

Merry Christmas everyone and have a good holiday season! And now a silly photo...
