Legendary Aces Updates

Of the following list, the first was started and cancelled, the rest will not be published individually.

Legendary Aces 3: The Demon Lord
Legendary Aces 4: The Grim Reaper
Legendary Aces 5: The Youngest Ace
Legendary Aces 6: World War

Instead, I started publishing the singular story Legendary Aces, which will encompass the entire series in a single place. It will contain well over 100 chapters by completion and probably be several hundred thousand words total in length. I will be incorporating Ace Combat 7 into the story. As it stands, Air Combat (AC1), AC2, AC4, AC5, AC0, AC6, AC7, ACX, and the Northern Wings mobile game will all be included. I intend for the story of Legendary Aces to end before AC3, so it's unlikely that one will be included.

As of posting this update (3-25-2019), I have re-published the first 10 chapters of LA1 into the single LA story. The plan is to go through all of the current LA1, LA2, and LA Shorts chapters and condense them into the LA story, then revisit the existing LA3 chapters before moving on to new content. I know readers have been waiting a long time since the end of LA2, and there were only a few chapters this past year, but trust me: the revision is worth it. Please do check it out! Plotholes are being plugged, existing stories enhanced, and new things added where needed!

Quick update (2-14-2020): new chapter update! Story is up to 32 chapters. There was a long delay between 31 and 32. TLDR: I got busy, then was slammed with writer's block. Once I started working again, I took my time on 32 and 33 (which as of this update, 33 is not published yet).

Legendary Witches Updates

Legendary Witches: Zero has been cancelled and is intended to be incorporated into Project AU, a separate alternate universe telling of Legendary Witches. However, I stopped working on Project AU and while I haven't completely lost interest, I lost motivation and inspiration. It's something I may return to eventually, but I'm putting all my fanfiction focus into Legendary Aces until it's done.

Quick update (2-14-2020): I still haven't worked on Project AU beyond brainstorming. I have a lot of the changed planned out in my head, but I'm still not sure if/when I'll return to this project.

Some of my Favorite Quotes

"Being a hero doesn't always mean protecting the innocent or beating the bad guy. It doesn't mean you have to sacrifice yourself to save someone. Sometimes, that might be what it takes, but not every time. What it does take every time is simple. Being a hero is being to others what they need you to be."- Kye Akari (Quote from Realm of Dragons: The Dragon War)

"Everyone loves a bad idea when it works." - Cayde-6 from Destiny

"I was just wondering , why do you call Billy "The Extreme"?" - Melissa
"'Cause Billy is The Extreme." - Dusty (Quoted from Twister)

"If there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action." - Thomas Jefferson

"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

"Any man can overcome adversity. If you truly want to test a man's character, give him power." - Abraham Lincoln

"He who does not punish evil commands it to be done." - Leonardo da Vinci

Typical text/font legend in my stories

Note: Not all of my stories will include all of these. For example, Legendary Aces does not have telepathic communication.

Bold (thicker) texts are notes, titles, and POV headers.

Italics (slanted) texts are character thoughts.

"Text with quotations is character dialogue."

Single words that are italicized are emphasized words. Words of emphasis also may appear in dialogue or thoughts.

Single words that are normal, but appear in an italicized sentence are also emphasized words.

"Quotes" within test is not necessarily spoken, but may also appear as a short quote within dialogue.

""Dialogue may sometimes also contain quoted dialogue," he says."

Bold Italitcs (thicker slanted) texts are telepathic communication.

"Dialogue from a single character may span multiple paragraphs such as this.

"When a character has much to say or a speech to give, one might talk for a while.

"Every consecutive paragraph spoken by a single character will have an opening quotation.

"Only the final consecutive paragraph spoken by the character will have a closing quotation.

"As this example shows."
