August's Newsletter

August draws to a close, and I start attending college. Which means, I won't have as much time for writing as I did in the summer months. Hopefully Jamey and I will find a way around this...

Anyway... We're through Chapters 15. Po Kong is sealed away, and we move onto the threat of Hsi Wu next.

Hsi Wu... will be interesting to write for. What I can tell you is, there won't be a focus on his tail this time around. Now that Po Kong's Episode is out of the way, the main focus of writing centers on him and his episode. Not too much thought had been put into Hsi Wu's episode, but it's a little challenging to come up with something for him. Centering the plot around his tail again is too easy, and all we saw of him in the Demon World two-parter was him taking a bath up in a high tower, preparing to hang out with Tchang Zu. So, what to do with him? Perhaps the idea I do have for his episode isn't the best, but it should turn out fine. The premise of his episode is Hsi Wu is let loose, and he won't wreak havoc in the same way as Po Kong did. Instead, he'll have some sadistic pleasure in being a 'hero' of the night. Again, which kind of 'hero'? It's up for Hsi Wu to decide, really.

Moving on...

The Demon Portal Quest is repeating itself, albeit with fairly major differences. Teku and the Jyutlong are manipulating the Quest, as they did the hunt for the Talismans, and next Season they'll come to the forefront of the story, where they'll compete with the Chans and Daolon Wong for the mystical, Talisman-fueled animals of the Chinese Zodiac. That's still a ways off, granted, but in terms of planning, that arc will become increasingly important as Season 2 progresses. Keep your eyes peeled, not only on Teku, Lin, Mallah, Specter, and Xie, but also for cryptic clues of the main antagonist, who still remains shrouded in mystery.

Lastly, apologies for the long break. I'm not fully back, due to college, but I hope to get through Hsi Wu's episode next month, and to at least start penning the Queen Jade episode. It would be great to get to Tchang Zu's episode sometime early in October, but I won't hold my breath, because college is going to keep me busy. Sorry in advance, readers! I do plan to update this more frequently, to remedy the long periods of nothing. Though, as I stated above, I hope to find a way around periods like these.

Until next time!
