  Chapter Two will be posted January 8th.
  Chapter Three will be posted January 13th.
  We may see them earlier then that, but that's the schedule I'm shooting for. (Going for a Wednesdays &Fridays thing, let's hope I can keep it up!)

  I just thought of looking at your stuff, after you've been so helpful to me. I should have thought of it sooner, but alas. I have to say, this is refreshing. It may be shorter then most people's work, but it is your work, not theirs. The worst thing you could do is stretch it out if you don't feel it should be.

  Wow, a schedule?? That's amazing, Fawn! First I've seen of schedules on the Tamriel Tales!

  Thanks Lyall! I'm actually hoping to add some brief character write-ups on the two MCs and possibly the most important supporting characters as they appear in the story, but we'll see. :) I rather like how neat and tidy it looks currently. Though the synopsis could do with a rewrite.

  ;) We'll see if I can actually keep it up! Fingers crossed. The first draft of chapter 2 has been finished, and the 2nd draft of chapter three has been started. I like to be a good chunk of the way into the next chapter before I publish one. So far I seem to be on schedule!

  I must say, I'm loving this so far and I'm eager to read more! Your writing is fantastic and keeps me thrilled and engulfed without one moment of boredom. 

  Lycanthropy (or, in this specific case, Ursusthropy - I know nothing of latin  - Bearthropy Werebearedy) is one of my favorite subjects, and I can't wait to see the BIG moment (you know... the first transformation and stuff).

  Although I'm curious about one thing: how will you handle the transformation itself? There's no or little comment on this subject in Elder Scrolls lore (about how the transformation itself happens, not on the characteristics or the effects it has, they're pretty detailed). Like, I'm in the process of writing a long story (after AMOST... and studies... and everything...) with a protagonist in "full" control over his curse and, as such, has a specific way of using it, shifting between claws and fangs and swords and magic while in combat.

  Because of this battle style, I've been "forced" (gladly forced, that is) to give an explenation to why, every time he uses it, he doesn't end up naked mid-battle, he doesn't die of constant pain and to why he is able to do it so quickly, among others. 

  How have you managed it? Classic style, Writer's choice or something else?

  Asheris, I guess you will have to stay tuned and find out. ;)

  Thank you very much for the positive feedback. It's always nice to know that someone is enjoying the story, I seem to spend more hours worrying about it than writing it, haha.

  I think I like Werebearedy.

  Perhaps fortunately or unfortunately, I do not have to handle the transformation  for many more chapters yet. When I DO get to it, however, I have a little more room to play with the actual physical transformation because his werebearedy does not come from Hircine, so I get to 'make it up' as I go. I don't foresee myself deviating too much from the werewolf animation that cues in the game, however.

  It will be painful, yes, I will likely go 'classic werewolf' in that it'll be horridly painful the first few times he's forced to shape-shift. I may do a bit of research into the berserkers of Norse mythology to give it my own unique spin, but we'll see how it goes!

  If you would like to private message me to discuss it further, please do! :) I'm excited to hear about your protagonist, especially if he's utilizing his curse in the middle of combat by individually shifting his body parts.
