Did some major dialogue planning on Wednesday as I was off work for Minophis having his vaccinne, this has now resulted in about 5000 words today, so I finally have a beginning to the story, rather than just an outline, and only having detail for the middle and "current" end.
It's working really well having two characters working in tandem, especially for introducing the main character to the reader. Still not sure if I'm going to share this one, Minophis thinks I'm mad, but at the moment, I just need this to get out of my head so I can get back to Auguris lol

No idea yet for the Hunter's Glade. Working through some issues regarding the story fitting into ESO. A move which I definitely want to do. Speaking of which. Why are there no player homes suited for guilds. ESO has guilds of 500 people yet no guild type homes. Might turn Hunting Glade into one massive camp site. Aela would love it. Not so sure about Danica and Kodlak. Once the home with the ship comes back, I'll be bagging it. Turn the ship into a mobile Jorrvaskr.
Story wise. Got some hard chapters coming up. There were so many story arcs I wanted to do which I set the pathways out for which I will now not be using so next 20 chapters are going to need a lot of reworking. Dreading it but I feel this is the way to go. After that, I get to edit the @Companions Day' chapters. Really looking forwards to posting them so there is at least a ray of light down the line.
Posting chapter tonight then start editing the next one. Dreading the next few months of writing.

Sotek, I added another character in my story. Originally she was just going to be a character just for ESO (as a nightblade) but I decided to put her in my story as well. She is a khajiit pirate who fights against her past life being a prisoner on a pirate ship, but, ultimately falls victim to becoming just like her captors. Her name is Affraji, I might have her and my other khajiit character become boyfriend and girlfriend. I might also pick up that ship home for her as well (assuming that house ever becomes available again)

A few ideas have finally spawned for The Imperial Auditor, so now I need to read through the whole story again to make sure I don't lose any consistency in the later chapters I have ideas for. Hoping this won't generate major edits of what I've already posted.
The ESO based story continues, again a lot of checking for consitency back to the lore and game to make sure that even though I'm heading off into an alternate universe, I don't go so far that it's not believable. Main issue is streatching the timeline out logically, even hero's need to sleep and have a break at some point, currently working on the basis that a chapter can be treated as appoximately one in game year, unless it overlaps with one of the other major characters I'll be including, then maybe a shorter time period is allowed.
Roll on alternate starts in ESO, my other two major players in the story really need to start off in the base game tutorial, not for the latest chapter, I'm only subjecting Dorcas-Anya to that :-)

Great to see the big bad wolf of the blog active again. For my story, first off, it took a few tries (a lot of tries actually), but I feel my story is finally in a place I want it to be in. I feel the story flows much better now and is actually a story I want to write. Secondly, for one part of my story I took inspiration from both the funeral scene in the 13th warrior and your chapter 'lest we forget', though I changed it up a little to fit my story and I am going to have Hasir and his companions hunt down the priests of dominion, which are just the dragonpriests except each mask has a bit of Molag Bal's soul in it, plus, they have a unique backstory.
Hasir, the main character, has had two dreams of Red Bramman, the Argonian priate and he hopes to, one day meet him or have his own ship in ESO. Currently I am on Chapter 93, but I am bouncing back and forth between that and finishing up Rakel's story.
