#mostly because it's centered around character interactions and meeting and establishing relationships with a bunch of new characters

I am very interested in writing that's not ifmlam but also quite INTIMIDATED by how much it seems to be

yeah gay murder elf bachelorette at least did really grow into.....three different novellas and book 5 is at least a fourth might be even more ridiculously long than its predecessors, the good thing about it at least is that the proper two parts that are actually written in-universe, Book 2 and Book 4, are both stand-alone enough that one doesn’t reaaally need much more context than their introductions to have fun with the story and all the correspondence continuations are mostly posted for sake of completeness, not any actual Story Impact

(otherwise oops I’m actually waiting to finish the full series before I start posting.... at least trash novel, Numanok Files might get posted as they are finished, and I helped beta-read?? and co-write an episode of?? a really cool sci fi story podcast, which I will definitely be screaming about when it comes out, and I-swear-I-will-actually-finish-soon my lesbians in space hadestown fic which requires no knowledge of hadestown to read as it’s all just direct greek mythology anyways and has a bunch of very cool real science viewed through a quasi-mythological lens I’m so happy with how it’s coming out, so there will soon be a lot more Options of My Writing That Isn’t Ifmlam available)

#chickenswithsocks #books 2 and 4 are about.....20k each? #which to me is like a mildly long one-shot of a fic #but that's also because I'm ridiculous and cannot for the life of me write anything reasonably short #book 3 is shorter and is an exciting summary but funnily enough is I think less fun as a stand-alone #mostly because it's centered around character interactions and meeting and establishing relationships with a bunch of new characters #and if you don't already Care about Iria and Talvus and the Caedic Empire it's a bit of a 'sooooo why should I care about any of this?'thing #that being said it and Book 4 are defs the gayest #if you're looking to read one and only one hella recommend Book 4 #also I am almost certainly going to fix up the summary of Book 3 and general formatting as I throw things on ao3 #(provided Jeremy is chill with me posting it all on ao3) #so idk pick and choose or wait and decide at your leisure
