:roumbles through the bits of notes, lab reports, and red bull bottles:
Uh, no, its not dead, but I am quite close to it.
I have about 4 weeks for:
6 exams
1 comprehensive exam of all the math i have studied so far
1 terminal
1 thesis paper
and some added uni stuff
So, as soon as either I or the Uni dies, I'm back on track, though I'm seriuosly considering rewriting this all. You see, if I keep myself to hisotrical limitations, the Black Sun will be but a very minor player. If I keep it ahisotrical but use hisotrical characters, it will be very lame. If I throw historical characters out of the window, it may be too unbeliveable.
But I intend to write this whole think much, much darker. Think Dark Tower-Lovecraft-Planescapes Negative Energy Plane type of dark.
You know what?
I'm going to put this on a vote. You have three options:
A, stay historical, limited involvment, behind the scenes, mostly court intrigue
B, ahistorical, much larger influence, more power, more perils
C, throw historical characters you the window and drench the whole story in primordial negativity
