LOL, it's become a trend to try to be my cover artist? Sweet :D I'm so damn popular :cool: :shades:

Anyway, you'll all be happy to know that I've started re-reading all the other chapters. You see, that is part of the process of my writing :D I need to read the previous chapters and get a feel for the next one.

Once I start writing it in my mind, I map out the scenes. Then I detail it a bit more and a bit more and eventually I just get online for 3 hours or so and ta da, new chapter! :D

This has been a sneak peek of "behind the scenes with Alexander" :p

By the way for all you cover artist wanna-be's :D My pen name is Seth E. Cericus.

Seth E. Cericus, got it ^_^.

I've sketched out a pretty decent Vampire, just need to get it scanned in and used :p.

(As I've said alot, I'm just doing this for fun, but it would be cool if one of them were used :p).

Definitely. I like seeing cover art, so I encourage any attempts at it :p

Yea, so far the story's been getting pretty good Alexander. Keep it up :)

I certainly won't drop it ;) Metaphorically or otherwise.

BTW, in case no one noticed, chapters 1-11 are all now on Post 1 again. Chapter 1-5 is all one document, since I can only attach 8 attachments to 1 post. Gah! Rules -.- :p

Do as I suggested before, or save even more space and host the .ZIP file on somewhere like www.rapidshare.de :cool:.

Why? My way worked perfectly. 5 DLs turned into 1, thus, I have a lot more room for the others.

When I get too many again, I stick 6-10 into one .doc file and ta da. More room. So long as I don't have over 40 chapters, which I won't, I shouldn't have a problem.

Aha! Now, I know your real name, Mr...Cericus.

God damn, how would you pronounce that?

The story keeps on getting better, but I'm just getting started.

Whoever thought up the idea to start school at 7:40 in the morning deserves to be shot

Agreed.

Cer - Ser
i - Like the "i" sound in "it"
Cus - Cuss

Thank you. I love seeing new readers. Don't hesitate to ask anything, my friends will tell you that I love to babble on and on about the story and stuff. It helps the writing process to think it outloud. Hell, sometimes I talk to myself about the book.

LOL... If it were that easy, I'd be done by now :D

No no, Rinny, my boy... I said I was GOING to start writing. As in, after I re-read chapters 9-11 or so a few times, get a picture of what I want chapter 12 to be, and THEN I start writing :D

Ah, yes... My characters :D I missed them, lol... It's... A little sad, I think.

Ahh..

If only we could put a collar on our muse.

Coming along nicely alex.

(just in case you care)

A nice trick I have discovered is to adopt the mindset of the characters, (like acting) speaking of which...

I was watching some documentary on black slaves one night and Samuel L Jackson came on, they showed him chatting away normally etc, then he read through his narrative, sat down and CHANGED, he stopped being Sam L, and became this black slave who was reminiscing about his little tumble with a female slave on another plantation, and how she was WELL worth the whipping he got when he was caught. It was truly spellbinding.

Back to the point... Often I found that when stuck, write down why you think you are stuck, then get someone to 'interview' your character (you), get them to jot down you answers.

Alex: why am I stuck? somethings not right here..adopts Relcons mindset

Interviewer: So Relcon thanks for coming in today, tell us what have you been up to since you were last seen racing through the woods?
Relcon: Hi, well its kind of a long story,
Interviewer: give us a summary then
Relcon: Well, it soon became clear that I was not going to catch my quarry, so I headed back home
Interviewer: Why? you surely could have found him.
Relcon: You must remember that at that point in time I was the hunter, but he lost me he could have hidden.
Interviewer: Exactly my point, surely searching around his tracks would have yielded something?
Relcon: At which point, my searching for him would have been focused, not on him, but his passage. He would have been free to observe me, gather his courage and plan something decidedly nasty for me.
Interviewer: So you became scared by his absence
Relcon: I was not scared, merely apprehensive, he has proved himself to be very resourceful, by NOT chasing him, I have forced him to remain the prey, because by NOT knowing where I AM, his prey mindset would still be in control, fearful of observation he would move at a much slower pace. Giving me time to replan my efforts safely and carry out other tasks.
Interviewer: And what other tasks might they be?
Relcon: well....

Sorry for the length. I got carried away. :D

Gah, and I don't have the confetti this time.

Well, grand job, I'll be reading it :p

Might want to combine 6-10 together as well to fit with the 1-5 thing.

Was thinking that very thing when I noticed I had 8 DLs up, after chapter 12 was put up.

I can't ruin the book for you, but I can tell you that there's going to be a fight.

And just wait for the last book of the series, Blood War. Almost the entire book is in a war-like scenario with Alexander as the leader of the Blood Forces (Vampires, Lycans, Witches, Gargoyles, Liches, and a multitude of other undead creations... It's really kick ass, the last battle, to see how much the world has evolved, and then to basically bring that entire "world behind the real world" environment to the surface and watch the reaction of humanity.)

Sandra glanced over at the captive Lycan. He was still asleep, even after Alexander’s last journey through his memory. Sandra had been amazed that he still slept, but she has soon realized that the pain had probably knocked him out all over again. She highly doubted he was going to be walking around anytime soon.

Ouch, that sucks. Zaris needs to take a date with a large metal spike, right in the 13th chapter.

Holy shit.

Check out post 1! CAN IT BE?! HE DIDN'T!

Pft, yeah I did :cool: :shades:

PS~ I could only upload 8 files, so I'll compress 6-10 later and put 1-5 back up. Right now, I GOTTA GO!

Enjoy the new chapter :)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
