caps-less version in n+c Warning: mentions of unaliving (as in, not unaliving) and hvrting)) Hi everyone! Bonjour as well! I'm back, for one day. And I have an announcement! So, basically. Ember Spirits is extremely inconsistent. I've got a bunch of runaway living in the forest and trying to be, like, 'no Otherpaws allowed', in the first book. The second book is about how Ash and Felix, upon returning, have lots of problems and all that at home, Holly in the forest. But like, the audiences are different. So, in order to stay as true to the plot as possible, while still keeping all of it sensical, I'm changing it to be as follows: Major changes: WGP is in the nature-y city areas, makes more sense with the sequel. Ash didn't k!ll Ellie, just a.ttacked her, and she was so scared that she left. Ash can remember, sort of, their feral shifts. I think it was a bit unrealistic that they couldn't, when they have hyperthymesia and thus, well, feral shifts shouldn't mean you forget it. Idk, it just seemed a bit wrong. So, it's blurry, but Ash can remember, especially their feelings, but also a bit about their actions. Also, it's not 'awaken -> shift' now, Ash just has occasional feral shifts that aren't tied to awakening. WiIM: Ash and Felix are chased out of the park by Kip, and encounter WGP. They're still in the city, but in a more natural area of it. These Alterhumans are all runaways from homes who didn't like them. Felix feels as though this is something that people need to know about, because one, it breaks the law, and two, these are children who are in need of help. Because of this, the pack tries to stop Felix, as they can thrive without her input, thanks. Ash thinks that the pack wants to hvrt her, so they're like "yo, just don't." and the pack gets really defensive and all that, Holly is like "Ash, don't tell me what to do. I'm the leader here." and then Ash is like, "well don't hvrt my sister" and then Holly is like :( :( :( :( :( "I'm your sister, not Felix" and Ash is all "You're both my sisters :)" TSW: Holly asks Ash and Felix to leave, because they're not packmates. The others stay, and the two of them return home. Felix doesn't tell anyone about WGP, but she keeps thinking "I should tell someone". Also, school is hard. Ash is all "I think I have another 'type", and Holly is struggling after her show of weakness. Rest is the same, but the major difference is that Ash is trying to find their 'type rather than suppress it. It's more relatable, and more realistic. AWH: Backstory of Felix and Ellie! Ends Felix's perspective when she meets Ash, Ellie's when she moves. Not saying anything more. TRTP: Holly believes whisperself to be having visions, vivid reoccurring dreams of the pack. She wonders if it's just her worries about the leadership, but whisper feels that there's something coming, something that could destroy the pack entirely. More might come, but for now, this is all! Also, for the cameos in the books, they will be added, but with some changes, such as some of them having different names, slightly changed personalities for consistency, different outfits, etc. I will not change 'types of any characters. However, I am unsure how to credit you all, as there are lots of you (so, lots of paper used) and I can't really give links to your profiles on paper... one idea would be to credit 'various friends and inspirations' for the characters, and another would be to say 'credits for many characters go to friends who I don't have space to list, but who you can find at ___.com'. So, like, a site that has a thing with a list of credits. Or, I could just make a Scratch project that's all "Everyone who made characters for ES is awesome and gets free art or something". And has a list of the characters. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know! Requirements for ideas are that they don't take up that much paper, and they include all of you in the credits. Final note! I know this is long, so sorry. If you dislike the way I'm rewriting Ember Spirits, feel free to drop feedback (phrased kindly) in the comments! Things such as "Boo I liked the forest better" are bad, things like "I preferred the forest because A B C, why did you change it?" are better. Thanks! Thanks for understanding, taking the time to read this, etc. - Canary, Comma, the author of Ember Spirits P.S. the next chapter will take a while, as I need to rewrite the others.
