A pleasing message to MagmarFire.

[Hi no Seijin]

For those of you who don't check Tal'Kipach Risthan, but rather here, then it is my deepest regret that I must inform you that all of my fanfics are on hiatus until further notice.  My laptop died on me not too long ago, and it took all of my writing with it.  I was unable to get back up files onto my flash drive first.  I have no one to blame but myself.  And the laptop for being an unfaithful [insert expletive of your choice].

[Hi no Seijin]

Chapter V of The Land of Legend is now posted.  Go forth and enjoy it.

[Hi no Seijin]

Now with The Legend of Blah Blah finished for the season, I can focus my writing on Chapter VI of The Land of Legend.  So while you're waiting for TLoL, go read TLoBB! :D

[MagmarFire]

Wow. February's is up already!? Well, now I can find out who the guest character is without failing miserably at guessing. :D

[Hi no Seijin]

Chapter VI of The Land of Legend is now up!  And for now, it's going on hiatus until I can get Desert finished.

EDIT:  Hey, look at that.  Chapter II of Desert is already up.  Fancy that.

[Hi no Seijin]

So, it looks like it's been far too long since I had an update.  And I still don't have an update. ::)

Lately, I've been feeling displeased with Desert.  Right now I'm debating whether or not to continue it.  While I'm doing that, I'll be working on The Land of Legend, so that might start updating again soon.

[Hi no Seijin]

So, it only took about less than a day to get Chapter VII of The Land of Legend written, and that's now up.

[Hi no Seijin]

Guess what just got updated.  The Land of Legend! :D

And just think.  Next month is the season premiere of The Legend of Blah Blah.  Yay!

[Goosey]

HNS, what is the URL to your website? I would really like to check it out. It sounds like you work really hard on it.  :)

[Hi no Seijin]

There's a link to it in the first post of the thread.

[Goosey]

Ummm... whoops? lol  ;)

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, I got the prologue for Averno.  I originally hadn't planned on writing a prologue, but Chapter I wasn't cooperating with me; I deleted everything I had twice because I wasn't satisfied with it.  So there you go.  Enjoy the prologue, which was influenced by this article by Hylian Dan.

[Hi no Seijin]

So, yeah, I'm all like, "I'm totally going to update The Land of Legend."  And then, like, I updated The Land of Legend!  It was, like, freaking amazing!  And then I'm all like, "Hey, I have another chapter I can post!"  So, like, I totally post it!  It was, like, even more freaking amazing!

[MagmarFire]

Oh, crap, I just found out that I skipped Chapter IX. ???

Getting to reading it, though!

[Hi no Seijin]

Okay, time to mention a few things.  One, Tal'Kipach Risthan is going to be an archive site from now on.  Every scrap of Zelda fan fiction left on my computer (coughflashdrivecough) will be reposted (not any time soon).

Two, The Legend of Blah Blah will be renamed "Don't Run With Swords", and as soon as I have my own laptop again I will be posting them here on The Desert Colossus, supposing KP will still let me.  If he doesn't, then I'll try ZeldaBlog.  Failing both, I guess I'll be heading to WordPress.com to start my own blog.

Three, I recently registered with fanfiction.net.  The Land of Legend and Averno will be posted there from now on.  Just as soon as I can revise TLoL to add in more detail and iron out any possible continuity errors.  And just as soon as I can start working on Averno again.  Meanwhile, Stories of Hyrule is up with The Defeat of Joelle, so you can go read that for now.

Four, though I should probably start a different thread for this, I will be calling the editor to the Beacon, a local newspaper/newsletter thing associated with the Virginian Pilot, Monday.  With any luck, he will hire me to write short stories and publish them in the Beacon, and I can start having a flow of income.  For now, this will mean paying off college debts and buying a new laptop, but eventually I will be able to buy these newfangled things called video games and finally know what you all are talking about.  So wish me luck, or pray for me, or whatever it is you're most comfortable doing.
