Alright, the Sandbox and Lorebook are finally on this website, too! Or, uh, linked on this website. I'm not quite sure yet if the picture function of carrd works well with ST cards, so I'll get to updating the collection once I had time to test that.
We also have an actual progress box now where you can follow along to see what's currently actively in the works and planned next and stuff. Be aware that I might always end up having a sudden inspiration boost and finish a bot up in a six hour frenzy even though that one wasn't supposed to be on the WIP list yet - but the Progress Box genuinely reflects what my plans are at least.
And there can be breaks as I indulge a different target of my hyperfocus, like my lorebook creation guide, my preset experiments or Ranchworld. Or I want to give myself a little break and do something easy, like lorebook tweaks or writing notes for future alt ideas.
You might be wondering what "Stretchgoal NPCs" are supposed to be? Well, honestly, the main cast of target characters is where my ideas started. But not where they ended. My favorites in Otome Isekai stories have always been the smaller side characters and secondary male leads. I'd kind of really like to add a few characters at least in the lorebook - aides, knight captains, a lady in waiting. Whenever I work on stories, this kind of "feature creep" is pretty typical for me. So many ideas, and then I get lost in some details instead of ever getting the basic skeleton done.
Well, not this time! I've sectioned off a lot of these extras into a "Stretchgoal" category, meaning that I'll write and define them only once I'm done with the core cast - or close enough to done that I need the extras to keep my flow intact. Ideally, I won't touch any of these characters until there's no more than 1 target character and 2-3 Major NPCs left.Maybe I should link my master document here eventually. Might be fun for people to look at...
