You might get impression that the new stories take an awful long time to come out. Yep, they do. I admit as much. But I've pledged that I'll get them out sometime within the next few weeks.

I got a bit lazy and unmotivated. But just yesterday I went on mad story fixing up session and edited tons of stuff in the wiki. Whoa, the wiki has over 100 articles now. Okay, most of them are stubs, but there's certainly tons of Interesting Stuff there.

I promised there would be no graphics this soon, but since the wiki has tons of stuff that probably qualifies as a half-done story in itself... the main Avarthrel page has a logo now. Whee. Doesn't look perfect yet, but maybe I'll tweak it later. I wished to wait until Xara LX was out, but it's just as the same to do this thing now...

Just a random whee-ee. Apparently, AutoREALM has the honor of the most perfectly working app I've ever tried to use in WINE. Thus, the weird, probably unnecessary, yet quite rewarding task of mapping Avarthrel has started. I'm still waiting for the proper Linux version of this app, though... not to even mention some (ahem) now-standard features, like SVG support in and out.

Having a map is all good, because I have in my head some sort of idea on what the world looks like and having a real solid map will undoubtedly help a lot.

It's weird how when you have a fantasy world (at least part of it), and a website for it, it suddenly begs for its own graphical look and its own logo.

So here's some first reassurances: No graphics for now. I won't start even thinking of drawing stuff related to the world, graphics or even the website until I've finished the fifth short story. And even that, I'm sure, is far off. =)
