Hello everyone!
Lachesis has had control of the Mirror for a while now, but this month Atropos gets it for a bit. That is, instead of using it to showcase something about how the world of the game is, I'm using it to give you a plot preview, of a scene that may very well occur somewhere in ...
2021-02-24 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Welcome to the beginning of uh… some week or other. Time is fake.
Anyway. This week I managed 2.5k on the project. Incrementally getting back to reasonable progress levels (and incrementally feeling better, as it happens). I've decided to close Ko-fi comms for a ...
2021-02-22 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
As some of you are already aware, I have at least one more commission slot with the artist who drew Charon before she closes comms again. Ideally, I'd like to get her to draw everyone, but depending on when she's taking work that might be a while yet.
So! With that in m...
2021-02-21 20:14:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
I'm back with a vignette. As promised, this one is Hades-centric, and from the point of view of his mother, Rhea, at a point many eons ago, when he was still a very young non-Underworld god and Zeus and Poseidon weren't even born yet. It heavily references a particular myth, modifi...
2021-02-17 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
This is a really difficult update to write in a way, heh. I only managed 1,000 words on the game this week, and there's no real reason for it other than my brain's terrible chemistry. As I'm sure some of you are well aware, depression can really suck the joy and motivation out of a...
2021-02-15 17:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I'm back with the last part of Charon's Proust Questionnaire. This means next month we'll probably flip to someone else for a while; at the moment I'm thinking Alekto.
Cheers!
2021-02-10 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
It's progress report time!
This week I've managed 2.5k words on the chapter, which is roughly on target for how things were last month. Considering I'm also doing commission work and upping my daily wordcounts on Diaspora, I'd consider this fairly successful. Hopefully I'll b...
2021-02-08 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
As promised, the first bonus content of the month is here! I've got Pyri's CS for you this time, and I think that marks the last of the main cast, which means this bonus content slot may start to vary a little. I do have CS's planned for some of the secondary characters, though, so...
2021-02-03 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Not much to report for the weekly update this time that wasn't in the tumblr post or the BIP update, heh. There will be a bonus content this week of course—for those of you in Sprout Tier or higher, look forward to another character sheet for the set.
I'm hoping to ke...
2021-02-01 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, it's BIP day! This month there is a grand total of 12,000 new words, which I'm pretty excited about. The dinner scene is now complete, as are two of the after dinner branches. Note that to see either of those branches, the PC has to be drunk. (The particular options are for Alekto and Ha...
2021-01-31 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Next month's variable bonus content is a backstory scene from someone. Up to you whom! Be warned that spoilers may ensue.
2021-01-31 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello all!
(I think there's like... two of you who get this, but yanno.)
This month's Mirror is about Olympus, as promised. Not really sure yet what I'm going to do with next month's, so if there happens to be anything you'd like to request, drop me a line somewhere!
Cheer...

Y'all.
Just.
Look at them.
I have expired.
This amazing piece is the work of the incredibly talented Andrea Hernández, aka @theartloca on tumblr, instagram, Patreon, twitter, and Artfol!
2021-01-25 18:14:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, and welcome back to the weekly update!
The word count for the chapter is sitting at 38k today, meaning another 2.5k from last week and an overall milestone of 10k for the month thus far! I'm not sure how much more will get done before the BIP goes out on the 31st, but I'm hoping yo...
2021-01-25 17:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Ares somehow won the poll last month despite never having been mentioned to my knowledge in anything I've said haha. Of course, I do have plans for him, so it might be that this vignette provides some insight into where he's headed here.
Anyhow, a content warning for so...
2021-01-20 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
I have… no idea where this week went? It’s suddenly Monday again somehow.
I’m… pretty sure I made good progress on the chapter this week? Maybe? Word count is sitting at 35,500 for the chapter, which is uh… *check notes*… 2.5k more than last week. I will tak...
2021-01-18 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Proust Questionnaire Pt. 2 for Charon this week. It's turning out to be a pretty Charon-ish month, heh, for reasons that are both obvious and known only to me, which is kind of fun. :)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
2021-01-13 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostA.k.a. oh man y'all, you could have told me the first bonus content never went up! xD
So I've had the first bonus content (the monthly character sheet) done since... well before it needed to go up but apparently I never queued it? I'm so sorry y'all, please have it now with my shame and apo...
2021-01-13 03:27:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Some pretty good news this week! Firstly, the chapter is now up to 33k, which means that there's already 5k new words just since the BIP release! This is a lot of progress for me in 10 days; and the really nice part is I've been pretty consistently hitting 500 words a day which is ...
2021-01-11 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello again everyone!
Normally I don't get much done in the time between a BIP and the update after it, but I'm happy to report that since the start of the year I've done another 1500 words. Hopefully the productivity streak continues; I'd really like to have this chapter properly out to al...
2021-01-04 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Last day of the month means it's BIP time! There's a grand total of 6,000 new words in it, bringing us up to 28k in total for the chapter. We're almost but not quite to the end of the group dinner scene, and the possible shenanigans involving the walk back for some of our more ineb...
2020-12-31 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! It's the end of the month again, meaning your BIP update will be along in an hour, for those of you involved in that. There's also, however, the traditional bonus content poll, and in keeping with how I'm expecting the Mirror next month to involve Olympus, I thought I'd focus the att...
2020-12-31 16:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
Twas a holiday week here, so naturally I didn't end up getting as much done as expected, heh. But still, the chapter has reached 27k, and I'm almost done building the structure of the core dinner conversation, and have filled in all the answers to the questions the PC can ask the g...
2020-12-28 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all, welcome back to the Moirae's Mirror!
As promised, this month's installment is going to talk a little bit about the parts of the Underworld. I don't really have any appropriate screenshots this time, as a lot of this doesn't come up until considerably later. So this will be mostly...
2020-12-23 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
Bit of a weird week this time around. (Will I ever acquire a 'sleep schedule?' Who knows!)
I did, however, manage to get another 1,000 words into the outline, not including stuff that was deleted and then replaced, and I've done a bit of restructuring on the dinner scen...
2020-12-21 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
The second bonus content for this month, as voted on by you, is a bit of Makaria's daily life. Bonus appearance by her dad, who likes to be the one to wake the beast in the morning. xD
Cheers.
2020-12-16 17:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
The chapter has officially hit 25k! And we're still smack in the middle of the dinner scene, heh. I guess this is what I get for trying to provide lots of options, but I can't complain, as I'm having loads of fun with it. And 2k progress in a week isn't half bad for the week I've h...
2020-12-15 08:33:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
The title of this post is of now slightly inaccurate; due to getting no questions for the Q&A this month I figured I really do need to find something else to do with the segment, heh. So for now I have elected to have the characters answer the Proust Questionnaire, roughly 10 q...
2020-12-09 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all, and welcome to the weekly update.
This week has been nutty for me for completely non-FOA reasons. My roommate, who is an essential worker, was exposed to a coworker who tested positive for COVID, so she is now halfway into a 14-day quarantine, meaning I am picking up a lot ...
2020-12-07 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey y'all, it's that time again. I'm soliciting questions for another Q&A.
