Chills Part 1
usedbooks on July 23, 2018
This page took embarrassingly long to create.
The first draft for this arc was written quite a few years ago, and the original title was “Frozen,” a perfect title I was very proud of – until Disney used it. My initial reaction was being a little upset because it was a perfect title for my story (better than it was for Disney's). Then I thought there was no reason not to keep using it. But it continued bothering me until I woke up one morning with a different title in my mind, and somehow this one is even more perfect.
I like this arc. It's kind of atmospheric and slow, but I like it anyway. I hope you do too.
(Also, shout-out to Tantz for helping me polish and streamline the plot.)
As an added note, I've started creating weekly “character features” on Twitter with behind-the-scenes facts on creation processes, development, and motivation behind UB characters. So far, I've done features for Raidon, Tristan, and Violet. (Mike is up next.)

Exceptionally nice conclusion to the "Ashley" arc. It was nice to see all the years of build up pay off. And I especially liked the end with Tristan returning the things he'd stolen. They may kinda still have more "friends" on the inside then they realize. Especially if they keep up these acts!

Thanks! Tristan of kind of a terrible thief. XD As Kaida's designated stalker, Raidon is always on *her* side in one way or another. But he's really only on his own side (although that might not always be the syndicate).

I've never actually experienced a nor-easter! Every time I've been Northeast it wasn't Nor'easter season!!

I've seen some pictures of the damage. They can be worse than hurricanes. I have never been on the coast for one. The effects further inland can be more whimsical than damaging (unless you lose power for days/weeks -- ice storms can be nasty).

Yikes, that's a scenery I only want to be looking at through the window in front of a fireplace wrapped in a blanket! Nice work on this scene :D!

Thanks! I'm not one for playing in the snow, but I sure love looking at it.

I think 'Chills' works far better than 'Frozen' actually.

I think so too. I'm glad I was forced to revise.

What a wonderful winter wonderland splash panel.

Snow is great unless I have to drive in it. (only because of the other idiots out there driving in it)

Or a merciless frozen wasteland, depending on your point of view. XD
