  • Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose – Writing systems

    As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am working on several conlangs for Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose. Of course, it won’t do to just work on a language; one would need to create an entirely new script for the language(s). This post will mention the writing systems in use in Innocence Seekers: The…

  • Off-topic post: Trope analysis

    Okay, since I don’t have much to do right now (I’m planning on resuming work on my projects tomorrow), I’m going to analyse some random tropes, and see whether I would use them in my projects. One thing to note, though, tropes are not clichés. Tropes are tools for the writer to use; they are…

  • Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose – Time

    Like in many speculative fiction involving other worlds, the issue of time comes up in Innocence Seekers. A fair amount of speculative fiction often handwaves this issue, or ignores it entirely, by postulating that the other world has exactly the same length of day and year as Earth. Of course, it is implausible that any…

  • Off-topic post: The four temperaments

    While I’m currently taking a short break from my projects (I plan to start episode 3 of Innocence Seekers: April Light at the end of the week), I’ve decided to dedicate this blog post to the four temperaments and their use in storytelling. One thing to note, though, is that the temperaments are not necessarily…

  • Innocence Seekers: April Light – Episode 2 is released

    The second episode of Innocence Seekers: April Light has just been released. You can read it on the wiki here. The third episode will focus on Louise. I will be aiming for an October 7 release, but I cannot make any guarantees.

  • Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose – Inherent Abilities

    In the Innocence Seekers series, magical girls and former magical girls all have what is known as an Inherent Ability. The nature of this ability varies, but it is usually fairly specific and very powerful in its own right. This blog post will talk about some of the Inherent Abilities found in Innocence Seekers: The…

  • Off-topic post: Storywriting (and what ruins my suspension of disbelief)

    For this post, I will talk about some of my ideas concerning good storywriting. While I may mention points which apply to all stories, I may also talk about things specific to speculative fiction, as that is my specialty. The point of good storywriting is to ensure that your audience can not only follow your…

  • Innocence Seekers: April Light – Episode 1 is released

    The first episode of Innocence Seekers: April Light has just been released. You can read it on the wiki here. In the meantime, I will get started on Episode 2, which will focus on Himawari.

  • Second general post

    This is my second general post, detailing what I have been doing, and my plans for the near future. It is similar to my first general post, and will largely talk about the same things. Be warned, though, there will be spoilers for Innocence Seekers ahead.

  • Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose – Languages

    For this blog post I will be talking about the languages used in the setting of Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose. No, I’m not talking about the languages in which the stories will be released, but the languages actually used by the characters of the stories. Because Innocence Seekers: The Black Rose is set throughout…
