A surprising found

[wiseheart]

I was considering to write the final chapter to Arthur's Quest - Book One as my next picowrimo project and took out my notes and background research stuff to decide how to bring it to a satisfying end.

Imagine my surprise, when I found that there is a fully written chapter that I've simply forgotten to post. So I used the chance and promptly posted it. It's Chapter 17 - The King's Justice, it is a mixture of Ivanhoe saving Rebecca and the original legend of Percival and the Haughty Knight, and it can be found here:

I hope that this unexpected discovery will give me the inspiration to write the next chapter, preferably during autumn break that has just begun today. The rest of the story, most likely two other stories, in fact, will have to wait. I don't know what is it with me, writing the first parts of trilogies or even longer series, and then falling out of the mood for a decade or so, but, well, it is as it is.

At least it brought me into the mood of watching Merlin again. I'm almost finished with Season 5, which I've been prolonging for years. Only the two-part finale is to go.

Edit: The new chapter is now beta read by the most generous lindahoyland, so nobody's grammatical sensitivities will be hurt. [g]

It was... interesting. I actually liked it more than I thought I would, but I'm still not entirely happy with it. Especially with Gwen remaining as the ruling Queen, ugh. But again, I didn't like the very concept of Cinderella!Gwen from the very beginning.

*nods* I didn't mind her character in the beginning, but there did not seem to be any logic for Arthur falling in love or marrying her.
