The highlight of the chapter for me was writing the history behind moongates. I'm kinda scared that
everyone will agree because that means the best part of the chapter is the first fourth of it, meaning
it goes downhill from there. It was fun because it was unplanned, and just something I figured I
needed to explain. Much like a lot of the side explanations and histories in Volume 1.
-
Even though I said in the previous commentary that Volume 1 was easy because it was designed to
introduce a lot of things, of course I havn't shown all my cards just yet. That would just be poor
planning.
-
How did I prep for writing this chapter? I logged on and went to Umbra of course! Gravdigger's
Apparatus and Prentice were taken straight from the game, and I just wrote what I saw. Working based
off of the game, its mechanics, its look, and character/location names is a nice tool to have nearby
(and sometimes a hinderance).
-
I also recieved some of my first comments a few days ago. One person specifically said they really
liked Stark. Good to hear. He's definitly different than how I originally envisioned him. He was
more of a dim-witted fighter that would be comic relief. But as how I can't write comedy, that had
to change quickly. =P He won't be getting as many point of view chapters this Volume (or really...
Melfina is getting more while he's having about the same amount), but we'll know what he's up to.
