    The Jade Empire - OOC Thread

    Ooh, he's cool. I also like the idea of him being affiliated with Locke somehow. Would the Immortal Brothers of the Mountain ignore such a malfunction, though? Zǐhuǒ could be connected to both. It'd give the Brothers another reason to get involved with everything, too. That can technically...

    No, don't worry! You can injure him if you want, though. I'd like to think there's another nonviolent way to stop the lion someone came up with while Shaohua worked to calm it down. I feel like fighting a Guardian Spirit wouldn't be a good idea, you know? But, hey, whatever happens, happens.

    The Jade Empire - OOC Thread

    My post is finally up! Sorry it took so long! I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but I managed to accomplish everything I wanted. This is what I made Shaohua for! It feels nice to finally make good use of him. Excited to see where @Whiskii takes us!

    The Jade Empire - Official story

    The air was unbearable. Pressure overwhelmed all five senses—no, that was blood on his tongue and grime in his windpipe. The tension came from elsewhere. Everywhere. A compound of agonizing, suffocating energies. The change in temperature. Decreased air supply. Slow, heavy footsteps that circled...

    I'm sorry for the delay! I'm having a bit of trouble getting to where I want to go. The words do not want to word. If not later today, my entry will be up sometime tomorrow.

    The Jade Empire - OOC Thread

    Oops, seem to have missed it. I'm of the same opinion. I knew Jiàn was main character material halfway through first reading her character profile, and Rennie's proven himself important the past several entries. Their respective arcs seem to have the most to offer, though I'm also excited for...

    The Jade Empire - OOC Thread

    Absolutely love the idea of an immortal emperor choosing to play with his toys over ruling the country he created. Him still being alive opens up some fun opportunities, too. He could act as a guiding force for our characters, or perhaps another layer of opposition. It'll be cool to connect his...

    The Jade Empire - Official story

    Their path wound off the dirt trail and through the shallow remainder of the forestry in a sequence that almost felt senseless. Min and Jiàn walked directly behind Bertrand and his clockwork canine, Jiàn's gaze pointed and hand rested against the hilt of her sword. Daiyu took to the middle...

    Word Counts and Updates

    Clocking out at 50,258/50,000. To reach that goal, I wrote a little over 7k today, which I'm pretty sure is the most I've ever written in one day. I'm so tired.

    Word Counts and Updates

    Confession time. Remember a few weeks ago when I said I'd get caught up? That didn't happen. Not even remotely. I've only just crossed the 25k line, which leaves me six days to get in the last 25 to reach 50. It's doable in theory, but in practice... I have much hope and many doubts. Seeing...

    Finally broke 5k! Hoping to hunker down this weekend and get as close to caught up as possible. 💪

    Word Counts and Updates

    Everyone's doing great! I've only got a little over 1k total right now. Only 200 are from today. My project is a bit out of my comfort zone, so I've been freezing up on the regular. Hopefully it won't take too much longer to find my footing.

    I don't think I'll be able to balance an entry with the NWT, so I'll go ahead and skip this turn.

    NWT Signup Sheet

    50k for me. I still haven't picked a project yet, but I think (keyword: think) I've almost settled. Glad to see this turnout! November's gonna be so much fun.

    Day 144: November Writing Thing

    That's probably what they did, realistically. It was all the same posts and stuff, just not available year-round. Whatever works for you guys. If you do make a section, I'm sure we could find ways to keep it active while it's there. Support threads, project declaration, progress threads. It'd...
