Hello, on SH I’m known more as a forum user than author, and there is a reason for that. I end up killing almost all of my projects when in their very early stages. Despite that I have plenty of projects that I’ve made art for but never ended up releasing. I thought now might be a good time to let some of these projects see the light of day.
To the best of my ability I’m going to list these stories in chronological order of their (attempted) creation
Story 1 Dec-Jan 2023-2024
After posting my abandoned story, and subsequent short story in 2022 I took about a year break from writing, which resumed in December 2023 when I began working on my next story.
This story was a gender bender magical girl story, which is not much of an original concept. The difference being this story had a military setting and while in a fictional setting was highly inspired by the 1993 Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm. That concept might sound crazy, but it’s been over a year since I did anything with it so I wont go into too much detail here.
I did make art for this story, quite a bit actually, but honestly I don’t want to show it because it’s not very good. I did post one bit of the concept art on my SH forum profile, so if you scroll back enough you should be able to find it.
Eventually this story was dropped, because I simply wasn’t very good at writing. Because I wasn’t good, I could improve at fast rate, so by the time I finished a couple chapters, there would be a noticeable difference in quality and I’d want to rewrite the beginning again.
Story 2 Feb-Mar 2024
After abandoning my magical girl story I thought to try my hand at a more serious story.
At the time I was annoyed at very pro monarchy state of fantasy stories, so I started writing a story about to-monarchist terrorist/freedom fighters
The story took place in giant city, the largest in the setting. Think warhammer 40K hive city but 1800th century tech and fantasy. The mc was a knight character from the upper city, who was exiled to the lower levels after having a sexual relationship with a noble’s daughter. It is from there he is recruited by a girl inspired by the piper of Hamelin who can control animals (mostly rats in the dirty lower city) using music.
There was more art from this story, but I wasn’t able to find it. Since my data is so messy it’s probably not lost, just hard to find. The art was also the reason I dropped this story, I wanted each chapter to have at least 2 drawings each, and doing such in detail and shading, quickly burnt me out.
Story 3 ??? Winter 2024
After dropping the serious story I went back to ol' reliable gender bender.
This story recycled a bunch of the world building I created for story 2.
This story was about a guy who wanted to be a mage, but had a body incapable of developing magical talent. Instead he learns alchemy which does not require him to manipulate magic. Sooner or later he figures out how to use alchemy to recreate his body into a form that can use magic, and he does just that. The problem being that although he gets a body great at handling magic, it also turns him into a woman.
This story had only 1 piece of art, and I know I still have it, I just need to find it. I’ll post it later when I do.
Ultimately this story was canned because I had a good beginning planned out, and a good middle section, but could find no great way to connect them, and ultimately I lost interest
Story 4 ??? (Winter - Spring) 2024
This is where I start getting a little hazy on the timeline.
This was a story I originally conceptualized on the forums, and was encouraged to write by other users.
The story was an Isekai comedy, with a straight man main character. The concept was basically “what if a character from a dark fantasy story was isekai’d into a typical generic harem isekai setting.“ Think about taking Guts from Berserk and putting him in Konosuba.
This story was when I created one of my favorite characters the cursed swordswoman. It was also one of the reasons I dropped this story. Pretty much I liked the cursed swordswoman more than any of the main characters, and writing her was the only part of writing I really enjoyed, so I shelved the idea, and decided to reuse the concept later.
Pls someone reply. I can’t add new posts without it just editing this. And I can’t add more 5 media links per post
