First let me say thank you to anyone who's been coming back to check on the site. I've been an awful webmaster for about the past year and haven't delivered a new chapter since last August, and you've been incredibly loyal visitors.
For any of the regulars, you've probably noticed that Lilith's Amulet is now down to about a post per year.
There's a reason for that.
I read Lilith's Amulet now, and I can't see the story I saw when I started it four years ago. While there's a lot of things I still like about it, I can't find any cohesion between anything in the big picture. 20-something chapters allowed the story to get really out of control, and without a solid outline I was not only building bridges that led nowhere--I couldn't even build the path to nowhere in a straight line. :P
Lilith looks more like a prototype to me now, a kind of sandbox story where I'm testing character interactions and supernatural scenarios, but nothing that happens really matters.
With that--it's time for the reset button. I'll no longer be updating the stories that are currently here. They'll remain posted--no reason for me to pull down the content--but the caveat, fair reader, is that you're heading to a bridge forever under contruction. :|
I DO have plans to reboot the story, though I haven't made any outlines or decided on what to keep, what to toss, what to change. I'm working on some other serials right now on my other fiction site, and I don't plan to get back to this until I finish a couple of those projects. The good news is that two of those serials are approaching completion, so my work on the reboot might start as soon as this summer.
As I'm sure many of you know, I also run another fiction site over at CollapsingFiction.com (currently down) with an offshoot at Adult.CollpsingFiction.com (up, running, and recently updated). I've been spending most of my creative writing capital over there lately, so check it out if you're so inclined.
Again, thank you for all the repeat visits over the last year. I apologize for the absenteeism. Check back sometime in mid-July, we might be all reset and ready for a new and improved telling of The Eos Chronicles.
