Alright. Arc 6 is complete, and is at the readers now. Assuming they don’t find anything catastrophically wrong inside, you’ll see it starting on Tuesday evening. One Step Away will deal with the Promotion Tournament. 8 teams. 3 rounds. 0 second chances. Winner goes to the Pro League. Seven non-winners have all off season for recriminations before they try again next year.
After that, we will deal with Ronin, a side story set in the same universe as the Reforged series. It will eventually enmesh some familiar characters, so don’t worry.
This will give me more time to write Arc 7. Trials and Tribulations. This one I’m thinking will be fully novel length or even longer. I finished my chapter by chapter outline and it’s like 25 chapters already. If it gets too long, we’ll make it a two arc special, but it will all deal with the events of Arc 6 and the aftermath.
How many more arcs are there? Honestly? As long as I can avoid burning out and you guys keep reading? There’s probably enough stories in the universe to go another six to eight arcs after Arc 7 is complete. I know how I want the stories to end, but it’s always interesting on how I get from point A to point B.
If anyone knows a good editor, please send them my way. I’d like to prepare the first six arcs for publication in the bookapy store.
