When a magician and a bard meet...


Hey!

So, back in 2022/2023, I spent a lot of time writing adventures for Vahn and Hawke. My goal with them was to write a fun fantasy that made me think of my childhood where I devoured every fantasy thing I could find. Unfortunately, I stopped because I got demoralized. Where I had them uploaded wanted to do more with AI and I just don't want my writing anywhere near that because it's bullshit (and if you disagree you can find someone else to follow) and other places I could have posted them I don't trust (they're against AI writing your stories, but not against AI making covers? Nah, not going there). So, I stopped my plans to move it over to its own blog and took it off the internet and then I didn't know what to do with it. I've put a lot of time and energy into it for it to just sit on my desktop sadly waiting for me to return to it. So, here it is again!

itch.io is a much different platform than a blogging platform, of course. Chapter-by-chapter updates don't really work here, so I've obviously made the switch to post the story at an arc by arc basis. Right now, I am working through what I had previously uploaded and editing it so it doesn't sound so rough. This will also give me more time to actually edit the chapters better! I'm only human, though, so there may still be mistakes, so please forgive them.

I also put a LOT of time into them, which is fueling my decision to keep the first arc free, but put the other ones behind a small paywall (as far as I understand, if you pay for it once, it should give you access to the arcs I upload later). Chances are, I'll be doing a lot of sales, so if the paywall bothers you, just keep an eye out!

Anyway, thank you for joining me on my writing journey. I know it's not the same as game-making, but I hope you've been enjoying my writing just as much.

Nah, I read a few stories by AI and they are devoid of anything great that a human author can produce...  (Talking about feels/emotions!  And others).  So you are right.  :)

Games are nice and fun, but the world still needs good stories!

I'll check it out.  Looks good!

Oh, thank you for explaining! I was wondering why blog was taken down. I am missing some stories from there.

I am planning to fix up most of the stories, I just need to find time, haha. I'm working on it! Any particular one you were looking for?
