@Smol_Tatortot That’s an interesting question, and one I’ll do my best to answer!

I’ll start off by saying that KoF was born from my love for crime/science fiction and mystery stories. I grew up on Dean Koontz (probably read almost all his books) and I simply adore how he was able to create and sustain the aura of tension and suspense throughout the story. This was the inspiration for KoF’s main genre. With a fondness for fantasy as well, I decided to combine the two!

Another factor is that I’ve always dreamed of writing my own story. Thus far, I’ve written many fanfics but I wanted to make something where the plot and characters are of my own creation. When KoF’s plot came to me as a random bolt of inspiration one night, I knew I couldn’t let it slip away.

Third, KoF is like a breather from my daily life. With stressors from various avenues, it can be really draining, which is why I turn to writing as a therapeutic activity. Writing KoF has done wonders for boosting my mental state! I just wish I can be less busy so I can write more often…

So TLDR, I write KoF because it’s a therapeutic activity I love to do, because it’s a story I don’t want to let slip away, and because it’s a genre I adore :slight_smile: It’s also been extremely motivating knowing that there are people out there who like what I create!

Wow, that turned out to be kinda long. Thanks for staying with me!

@TheWarsOfStars aww thanks for the sweet message! Yes, it is coming along but really slowly! :sob: I’m a super slow writer as I take a while to get things up to satisfaction. And real life has also been getting in the way a lot. Just came off a week-long medical leave and am not totally well yet. * nervously ignores undone work *

But Keepers of Fairfort is not abandoned even though I know I haven’t updated it! I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep and I don’t want to present half-hearted works - but as it is, I will do my best to get out an update up to the part where you meet and interact with some of the ROs by end Feb. :slight_smile:

@Smol_Tatortot ahh…first off, I’m sorry if I misunderstood your post :sweat_smile: well, ‘evil’ is a relative term; the villain in someone’s eyes can be a hero in another’s books. And you’re right in that all ‘bad guys’ have their story - which is why I’m set on including a stat where the NPCs can choose to share with you their darkest secrets, should your relationship with them be high enough!

@Mei_Hiroshi @ArtemisFowl yikes, I’m sorry I took so long to reply you!

I guess it’s something I’ve got to get used to living with for now. It sucks but ehh life throws curveballs sometimes :upside_down_face: but all your comments and support are really motivating me to get off my butt and just write this thing xD

Suddenly a wild plot twist appeared. Right? No? Maybe? Anyways i just wanted to post you know.

Considering the fact that the big, disastrous event that led to the severance between the supernatural beings and the humans likely has more to its story than many in their world realize at the moment, I’d say you’re not too far off.

But what the twist could be and why it became the true root of the event is anyone’s guess right now. The only thing I’m certain about is that there’s more going on under the surface of the tale and MC will likely find out what it is at some point. :thinking:

So cool. I really loved it although miranda went all infinity war on me. The sheer pain she must have endured to keep walking for her child to be safe is intense.

Never underestimate the sheer will a person can have when it comes to protecting someone.

Though I’m pretty sure the MC had just as much of a intense time in their first few minutes of guardianship, considering the events that followed after Idris’ appearance.:laughing:

Very very true. On both accounts.

Yes, you will find out in the story - but that’s all I will say as it’s spoilery :slight_smile:

That was what I was trying to go for when I wrote that, and I’m so glad it came across!

Writing wise, I know it’s been a time since I’ve updated anything but chapter 2 is slowly coming along! I’m doing my best to polish the characters and dialogues, so they’ll all be distinct when you interact with them.
