Embrace Me updated

That is it for today, my last act was updating chapter 5, you can find it in the side nav… 16 hours of website working… slaving.. I am outta here!

Plans, way too many plans

Repost from my other blog:

Ok here it goes. While Embrace Me is gaining quite some popularity all over the place, we are naturally working on more stuff. Like Harahkte envisioning a to be published novel and me finding out that the Embrace Me universe is just… so much more than I thought it would be. More then I can pack into the current story. Embrace Me now isn’t a standalone book anymore but more a part in a series that spins in my head and spawns more ideas by the day.Embrace Me should be Embrace Me: The Nights of Valmere.But while I flesh out characters and bounce ideas off Harahkte and Sekhet it just keeps my creative mind in overdrive. The rogue deserves his own book, he has become so much more than just a gapfilling action providing nuisance! Dalzalar and his Sire’s family is much more than just loyal watchdogs. Vasili and Lerania have so much more to them than we can portrait in one book. Even Arien is more than one can think at the current time in the story.So what can be done to portrait them all as they deserve to be portrayed? There will be more books, there will be more art. But I wish to open the Embrace Me universe to others. Around X-Mas this year until around February next year we will have a contest with “amazon.com/uk/ wherever the winner is from and the nearest amazon is at for them” giftcards. The exact details of the contest are not worked out yet but to be announced very soon. If people have interest they can take up roles in Valmere: there will be a roleplay forum where people can actively get into the story, special characters or events might even find their way into the books at one point or another. Every character might even get a free character art by me. It is all plans right now, but I do love feedback. So comment on this page! I will open accounts for those that are interested, throw me a short mail to admin@meritamun.com and I will preregister an account for the willing, those accounts will give access to other parts of the website that will only be available to community members.

I can’t posssibly pack my frustration into words

Looking back on today I think I remember why I hate being my own webmaster so much. DNS servers change too slow, msql gets confused between destinations and things just need to be reinstalled because they were being twitchy. So now I will reregister all lost user accounts. Everyone who had an account and lost it due to the host change will get their details sometimes tomorrow, everyone who wants an account to get more involved feel free to drop me a mail under admin@crawlingdark.com. Oh yeah right I need to change my freaking mail services now too. Well that is a project for another day…

Embrace Me Gallery FULLY restored

Yep yay and all that, the Embrace Me gallery is restored, I haven’t finished ALL of the gallery quite yet and the descriptions arent up either but ugh, too much work for one person and one day. I had some issues with the template I used for the old blog so until I can get my provider here to update it’s gonna be plain old and boring wordpress default

GRRR 2

Well things aren’t going as fast as I wish they did, the DNS severs aren’t the fastest when updating and just generally you get all the freak outs of new installations… I’ll get to the bottom of things but until then the story will be exclusively hosted on writing.com so i dont have to add more to the ruins of the site hahaTo read the new parts of Embrace Me go to http://www.writing.com/main/view_item/user_id/lunra

GRR!!

I am really annoyed, I had to redo my installation, now I am running outdated versions of gallery and blog but I am unwilling to update until my provider makes the update available in their one click thing because I had it with them updates!!
