#Crazed Memoirs of an Arachnid - Diary of Shamura : updates and more
low girder
Here I will post anything related to my ao3 fic "Crazed memoirs of an Arachnid" such as art, possible modifications, and a note when a chapter comes out.
If this is considered self promotion I will immediatly delete it of course. Don't wanna break the rules.

I don't think Advertising YOUR BOOK is against the rules
It is YOUR thread.
Like. Satan. Who is a mod.
Has an AO3 book that they are creating.
And others read it so it isn't really advertising!
low girder
Oh well, thanks for telling me that !
low girder
I've carried on for years now
ebon storm
It kinda reminds me of what my OC says
"ARE YOU GUYS GONNA FUCK OR FIGHT? IT CAN BE BOTH BUT IT CAN BE NEITHER."
low girder
I mean as long as theres consent lol

Omg we will reach 600 hits soon! Thank you everyone, this means a lot !
I'm getting curious. If anyone here reads the fic, what was your favorite part ?
Btw, next chapter is gonna take more time to be posted. I'm starting uni and I gotta focus on that -
ebon storm
Omg we will reach **600 hits soon!** Thank you everyone, this means a lot !
I'm...
GOD DAMN ALREADY??
low girder
It's for the whole fic
Is it really fast ? It's been out for months now
First chapter was posted in April
I take it as a compliment either way that's a huge number for me 
Oh btw I had done this for 300hits, maybe I'll make another doodle this time
ebon storm
GOOODDD DAMNNN
low girder
Because it's the first time I make numbers I would call "Big" but I don't want to seem like I brag about it
ebon storm
wait is it really that impressive to you ?
Yeah
low girder
Literally 5 hits away
I'm starting to think of what to draw to celebrate, something simple yet linked to the story
I was thinking of maybe Shamura's hand over a notebook ? To fit the general theme ?
Or should I keep that for a more consequent number of hits ?
Possible references (bottom right for the third pic)

Cool thing, very interesting
low girder
Thank you! Any opinions on the 600hits art ?
OMG WE'RE ACTUALLY HERE AAAAAAAAA
Thank you SO MUCH everyone !!!

YAY
low girder
Insta and Cara are both @_red.wizard stay tuned for the official posts !
(Will post it here first tho)
low girder
Hey, I was thinking :
Someone posted a comment a while ago, saying they hope to get a bit of other character's pov at some point in the story.
Would any of you be interested in special issue chapters following other bishop's pov, perhaps Narinder and the Lamb too ?
ebon storm
Ooohhh

Maybe as its own separate fic but related
God id love a journal of Lamb throughout their leadership
low girder
Oooh thats a nice idea !
I did think of making it a series with everyone having their own journal
But I didn't know if everything should occur at the same time or if it should be like episodes
red flax
Maybe a oneshot or a short story
low girder
Maybe a journal they write together, as a way to bond back together again ?
low girder
"dear diary shamura is saying nonsense again and narinder stinks"
I think I could make this but maybe once we've made more progress in Crazed memoirs
Cause this is only the first stage of the fic
low girder
I really can't focus on uni starting again
And having trouble finding the right reference for the 600 hits art
Thing is so bad I have a Leshycat fic in the drafts now
(anyone interested btw ? main themes are trust issues, self esteem and forgiveness)
low girder
I was very stressed about going back to school.
I had the concept and the chapter planning in drafts for months, actually.
I finished writing chapter 1 to get my head off stressful stuff, and I decided to post it.
I don't know if I will make more of this one, for now. I want to see how well chapter 1 does before actually writing and posting the rest.
If anyone wants to read, I hope you will like it. Might make a thread for updates just like this one.
600hits art is coming anyway don't worry guys 
red flax
YAAY
low girder
Its coming
red flax
What's this :0
low girder
Well the art to thank the fic readers for making it reach 600hits !
We were talking about this
I showed some possible references and I finally picked one
red flax
The joint for the thumb is off
low girder

red flax
Any opinions on the hand design btw ?
red flax

low girder

Will use your guidance
Buuut gotta sleep so this will have to wait lol
red flax
Go sleep bud
red flax

low girder
Useful advice, thanks a lot
low girder
I thought Uni would take me too much time for the next chapter to be out soon.
Turn out chapter 7 is almost ready lol
(in french tho. it will need some more time for translation still)
low girder
Any opinions on this coloring effect ?
Asking before I do it on the wrist and the other hand

I like it a lot but I have to ask what's the intention with the discoloration
If you're doing it for fun/because you like it then hell yeah
If it's supposed to signify rough or damaged skin I say put some on the knuckles too
red flax
Ok then i like it
low girder

low girder
Chapter 7 is out in english !
Shamura is going to the confession booth once again. This time, they want their plan to be taken seriously. This time, they will let nothing and no once distance them from their goal. But is it really that simple ? Perhaps the Lamb could tell...
Please use spoilers to discuss what happens in this chapter specifically !

Chapter 8 is almost ready everyone ! Just need to correct some stuff
low girder
**Chapter 8 is out in french ! **
I will send the link once I'm done with the translation
low girder
Chapter 8 is out on both english and french version ! (completely forgot to share the link, my bad)
Shamura has made their decision, they are gonna try to talk to Heket again. It has not worked so far but it they have to force it, then so be it.
But first, they need to make sure that everyone is on their side.
In fact, they need one person in particular, to listen to them.

low girder
new chapter of Camelias under the sun is out as well !
There's a thread for the fic if anyone is interested
low girder
Chapter 9 "Arachnid in the calm" is out in both french and english versions !
Now, Shamura understands why putting distance with Heket was a bad idea. They do need a little more guidance before trying anything concrete... Could the seer be a helping hand once again ?

ebon storm

I dunno
ebon storm
5 hits away and I still can't believe it
My fix barely got any
low girder
so
due to health reasons I might have kinda forgotten to post the art here
but it is on AO3 and insta ! let me make an annoucement for the new chapter and I'll show the art with it as well
low girder
imagine you try to make an announcement and u post it accidentaly before its done
couldn't be me haha (i feel so dumb rn)
Multiple announcements :
- Chapter 10 "Arachnid stained" and chapter 11 "Arachnid and the moon" are now out in both French and English !
As it has been a while, I will not take the risk of spoiling anyone by doing a recap like the last times.
Things will be back to normal starting with next post tho.
Scroll down for both links !
- I'm back from my hiatus ! Yahoo !
As said in the ending note of chapter 10, I needed to take a break to focus on two important things : a personal project and my mental health.
Speaking of it, it has not been at its best lately, explaining the lack of updates and posts (including the art). My apologies and I hope you will keep supporting me.
- Art for the 1k hits and 50 kudos is here !
Since both of my fics have reached these scores I had promised to make some art to celebrate. Due to the reasons linked with my hiatus I did not post it sooner and it looks a bit rushed, again I apologize for that. I hope you guys still think it looks great, normally you can also see it in chapter 10 of Crazed memoirs and on my instagram.

Things have been tough. But things are looking slightly easier and writing/drawing helps a lot.
Thank you to all the people who keep reading the fic, I hope you will enjoy gazing at the moon together.

Chapter 12 "Arachnid and rancor" is out in both versions !
Sewing takes concentration and energy. So does war. Shamura cannot flee from war. Shamura must fight. Shamura must keep fighting. Shamura must sew. There's no discharge in the war.
