Today I finished the 1st rough draft of Conqueror of the Sun - Severed Galaxy. Although the story is "completely done" now, there still will need to be some edits and changes. During the first comprehension read-through check, I'll have to: 1) change a few place names 2) make sure story flow order is correct and no plot holes 3) add a few more age and year references for the reader to more easily keep track of the timeline 4) add some more IRF references.

I don't expect all of these changes to take more than a month, perhaps less time. So again, the publish date is still good for either Jan. or Feb.

And though Severed Galaxy takes place over three generations of Arc, the real 3 main characters of the tale are: Marcus Arc, Abigail Arc, and Orchid Arc. And I happy to finally have their story finished.

Not really related to the above, but since I like to post at least one picture per blog post, below is a scene from Conqueror of the Sun - Prelude to Destiny - 2nd Light.

Characters from left to right: Sabrina Arc, Satsuki Kawamoto, Ichigo Sato

This is when Sabrina is a foreign exchange student in Japan and going shopping with her high school classmate friends.

Really, it is supposed to be at a Sanrio store, but panties shop is the closest thing. Sabrina looks a bit embarrassed because she is buying a Hello Kitty mini-massager, which is infamous for being used as a vibrator. Satsuki is asking if Sabrina is really gonna buy it, and Ichigo is asking if she is indeed gonna use it as a vibrator.
