Update Chinese New Years

Update Chinese New Years

So there's a new story for Chinese New Years. Unfortunately, that story can't be posted right now, but there's still an entire month to go.

When creating a holiday story, there's a few things. Firstly, what does this holiday actually do for the setting? And in a world without such holidays, how to represent them. 

Halloween is easy because N:Era has plenty of natural horrors. However, Christmas is a lot harder, and therefore probably never coming back as well. Snofall giving out gifts year round or having special interest in certain pups who behave well seems in-character for such an omnipresent being. 

Honestly, Christmas is a genre by now. Ironically, Christmas could be filled with much more great movies, instead of movies for July. Wonder how that translates across the hemispheres, because, obviously, the point of Christmas in July is to get the warm feeling during the hottest months of the year, but in New Zealand where Summer is going into Autumn, Christmas is already hot . . . so the new influx of movies in the Winter coming from America must actually feel relatable really. 

Anyway, so, back to Chinese New Years . . . I don't really have any thoughts about this topic that deeply. I really started on this rant, but after several days, holidays can be backdrops or main events in a story. Since "Chinese New Year" can't really exist, this is more inspired by mythology, and if you can figure out what, that's great. 

 

 

 

For those who care about Soleus updates: 

There isn't much in terms of writing so much in terms of reordering. The focus now is to keep pushing on the thought of either Cyras or Owlis' fatal flaws. 

 

I just don't always have deep thoughts on all updates.
