ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

No ETA at all on them.

I'm writing them as I feel inspired, and I have the time. Keep in mind that I'm plugging out anywhere from 15-30 pages of storyhour material each week, so anything else is on top of that. I'm considering taking a week off from SH soon to catch up on the Demented stories a bit. I've got three of them sitting on my desktop here in various states of completion.

Heck, I oftentimes write more in a week that I -don't- have the time for it. For instance I've been sitting around this week without really doing anything because my research is on a standstill till I get a virus sample shipped to me, and I've written under my average per week.

Right now I'm working on The Proselytizer (heavy inspiration from Rip), The Flesh Sculptor, and The Ineffable. After those three I'm not sure which one I'll do next. I've got 1/2 of The Architect already written, but I'm going to be holding off on that one till all my ideas on the other 12 are fully fleshed out.

I'm also going to get art for all of them eventually, once my art slave... err... friend of mine gets the time. She's more disorganized than I am, and that's saying something.

At some point I'll write a story for Chorazin the Thrice Damned, and Yrsinius the Elder a well. But that's on the back burning for the moment, stuck in with a dozen other story fragments that haven't been too terribly developed.

OK, thanks.

Could you post a list of all finished stories (preferably with links), and of those yet to come?

Thanks for the update Shemmy.

As it is, I'm looking forward to your piece on the Flesh Sculptor.

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

With all the various changes to Planewalker's code, a number of my stories have turned into broken links. I need to upload them all somewhere again and redo the links above.

One of these days I'll actually have a personal webpage or something. Might need to consider that this year. I just got some business cards for the writing side of things Laughing out loud

Just want to say how amazing these are. Rereading your PS stuff on the 'loths and starting your Story Hour from the beginning, I plan to enjoy the development of your writing!

Errr, Shemmy I hope you have new links because the Wizards Boards gobbled up a bunch of these. :*-(

Bump, because I hunger for stories to defeat the ennui of work stuff. Smiling

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

Kinda busy at the moment, working graveyard now (you normally don't picture scientists pulling insane hours like that, but it's a job in this economy I suppose).

Only story fiction I've done so far this year are a pair of stories for the last Pathfinder Chronicler contest, and another random in-progress Golarion story with a familiar xaos-loving tiefling (or at least one by the same name). The Demented stories, like the 1st storyhour, are sort of in limbo right now. Oh how I wish I was still in college with far too much time on my hands to spend write. Smiling

Oh, I just meant the ones you had written already but were lost on 'net due to Wizards thread culling.

But no worries, just had a hankering for 'loth. Smiling

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

Well, if anyone is interested, I combined all of the single stories into one .pdf file. I can put it up if people want them and Shemeska doesn't mind,

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

Hey Shemmy, did you by chance ever stat out any of your Demented or other baern for Pathfinder?

Asking because I'm looking for crunch for the 'zine we're working on.

thanks,

Sci

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

Ok, I sent the file to Clueless, so he has to go through it and check it before adding it. The first 8 are from planewalker.com the last was from another website (I forget which, and it was a bitch to find when you don't remember the actual name of that specific baernaloth), so the format is different. I could only find 9, I think that's all there is, but if any others were released, let me know and I'll find them eventually.

She. Eye-wink I got the file, you probably saw the 9th on ENworld or Candlekeep, or possibly even here in forum posts as opposed to a standard article. Shem's work tends to be too mature for WotC or Piazo forum posts, and there aren't too many other locations he hangs out on.

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

Curious about the plans for this PDF.

Issue 6 of the Zine has the Evil theme, as its over a year from now was wondering as we could possibly get some cool art for the Demented in the meantime.

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

No idea. I sent them to Clueless, and haven't heard anything since. Maybe they didn't like it or something, it was for personal use and everything and not like a professional job (although it was fine for just reading).

Likely it got lost in the shuffle, given the sheer amount of projects going on at the time.

Re: ETA for all 13 Demented cycle stories

Yeah, I was just saying that I hadn't heard anything about it. Actually, this is kind of funny timing, I only just discovered that Pathfinder was the spiritual successor to D&D 3.5. I got most of the Pathfinder Chronicles stuff, and have been reading a lot of this guys other stuff. Just funny that, right after finding all his new stuff, this forum topic gets all active.
