Overhaul and Editing of Galactic Consequences

2026-05-15T00:00:00+00:00

Edit

Before starting to attack what will be Chapter IX, and thus the start of the real deal, I decided to do a major editing/overhaul of the previous chapters.

Indeed, I started writing those early chapters around the end of 2024, and needless to say, my prose has progressed since then. I also have had some precious feedback from friends who read my short stories, which I am thinking of applying to the novel before continuing (maybe very soon!) onto the ninth chapter.

I also made serious progression into my grammar and my vocabulary, which was starting to be visible between the early chapters and the newest chapters; I do hope this harmonisation of sort will satisfy you once it’s out.

I have rewritten some parts, added some words here and there, deleted some useless sentences (usually repeats of what I already introduced in the previous chapters), and generally improve the readability of the novel.

Of course, this is no grand literary novel, this is a casual fiction novel targeted at teenagers and adults. There will absolutely not be any NSFW scene. I am still debating whether adding what we call “fade to black”, but for now even those are not in the program.

This story is everything I love, it’s very nerdy (and can get technical at time, though I try to make those passage short to be skipped if you don’t have the knowledge to understand them.). There is a romance between the two main characters but this is a lovely romance where feelings are most prominent. I do not care for more than that.

I guess you’ll see when you’ll read it.

Cheers,

Charlotte Thomas

Hiatus

Heya, sorry, I’ll take a break from writing, I know, I know, I just came back, but I happen to have found a girlfriend, and we’re too busy kissing.

I’ll come back :)

GC might be late, but kissing is more important.

Cheers, Charlotte.

Eighth chapter finished and edited

2026-03-08T00:00:00+00:00

Eighth chapter

It has been… ten? Yes, ten months, since I finished the last chapter.

I don’t really have to find excuses – I have some, sure, I was sick, I was overwhelmed, and I tried to develop new things in my life. But in the end I write at the pace I want. And the priority is to my Star Trek narrative RP.

The dry spell is now finished! I have finished Chapter VIII: Detention where Ariana lives on Union Central after her capture by the Union Navy in the previous chapter.

You’ll see, the Union is fairly kind when it comes to criminal punishment.

This chapter is less powerful than the seventh, where the crew rescues Ariana, but it still has some glorious moments, here’s one of my favourites.

She admired her physique on the mirror, she went from being one hundred and seventy-six centimetres tall and thin to about twenty-two centimetres shorter. In addition, she somehow had gained a layer of healthy fat on her body, despite eating calorie cube as her only meals for weeks. She had worked out in her “cell”, which gave her a layer of toned muscle under that fat too, not enough to be visibly buff, but enough to be a five-foot nothing lithe girl.

Yes! I am leaking the juicy post-magic-hrt-thing Ariana :D

Cheers; See you for Chapter IX: TBD

Back to work, getting off break

2025-12-28T00:00:00+00:00

Break

If you follow this blog (which I know no one is actually following), you would see that I haven’t made progress on writing for a few months.

For the past three months I was on medical leave, I focused on healing. However, I am starting work again (part time) in January, and with that I will start writing again.

The break was important for my mental and physical health.

What the hell is wrong with you

I have multiple chronic illnesses, including CFS caused by Long EBV and Long COVID, and I have mental health issues, I was focusing on getting better so I could work again.

The holidays have been good for me, and I’m looking forward to start working again. I have so many ideas for the book and how to improve it. I even have a sketch of the vessel used by our protagonists, the Union Science Ship AIX-09 I will include these sketches at the end of this article. They are merely concept sketches for my head to concentrate, I have aphantasia and thus I am unable to form voluntary mental images, so I had to get on paper. Unfortunately, I am a scientist and not a skilled artist, so they are simple.

Galactic Consequences

I will start writing Galactic Consequences again, and will try to focus and avoid branching on different stories, I already wrote two short stories on the same setting and I would really like to finish the first draft mid-2026. We’ll see if I am able to do that.

I will start by editing what I already wrote to correct the descriptions of the ship to correlate to the sketches I made. And another round of editing will not hurt as well. When I have finished I will start by resuming Chapter VIII. There are fifteen chapters in total so I am about halfway through the first draft, and I edit as I write.

I hope to have news for you (read: finishing chapter VIII) by the middle of February, finishing in January will be tough as I have many medical visits literally at opposite cities in my country.

Concept Sketch

Afterwords

I hope you enjoy those sneak peaks at the vessel they use :)

I will be back to announce the new chapters.

Charlotte Thomas.

P.S: I finally changed the RSS Feed to the new domain.

EDIT: 2025-12-28 20:33:00 +0100, change sketch to a better sketch

Analgesia, a new domain for my writing hobby

2025-10-04T00:00:00+00:00

Move

So, if you follow this blog (first of all, what the hell, like, why?) you would be able to see all links now point to analgesia.icu/*

The old URL still works to access the website and even see the RSS flux, which I’m sure exactly 0 people are subscribed to (do not lie, you’re not there, I’m the only one reading, and writing.) but all internal links points to analsia.icu as the new domain.

Why…

You could ask

Why? Why? Analgesia? It has nothing to do with writing!?

And you’d be right, but when I saw (for totally normal reason) that analgesia.icu was available I jumped on it. Why? Well to quote my own blog article from my main blog a few minutes ago

Mostly because (Painkillers) (Dot) (Intensive Care Unit) was too much fun to pass.

I asked on the fediverse (the exact toot was this one) what to do with my awesome new domain and someone just said to use it for one of my hobbies, and writing is currently my only hobby beside.. well work.

So I did it! Everything is under analgesia.icu, by the way www.analgesia.icu also works.

Future

I want to do some fun things with this domain, my next likely project will be to add an online static reader for my stories, probably something like reader.analgesia.icu, to be clear it doesn’t exist yet. Or I may do something funnier like cuddy.analgesia.icu because I like House, MD. Or something else, just contact me if you have any ideas.

Thanks for reading,

Cheers,

Charlotte.

I’m still alive!

Vacations, progress.

Hello!

I was on vacation all summer (well I was on vacation from work in August but I took a leave from writing for the two months of summer). But I am proud to announce work on Chapter VIII of Galactic Consequences has resumed.

I spent a lot of time on myself, getting therapy sessions and getting a psychiatrist back. I also adopted a cat, I’ll post about her in my general blog here, she’s anxious but I am happy to have her.

I am happy to write again, and no promises but I hope to finish this chapter soon-ish so I can start onto the next one. Chapter VII was exhausting emotionally and Chapter VIII is even more so.

Cheers.

Seventh chapter finished and edited

2025-06-28T00:00:00+00:00

Seventh chapter

I finally made it! The absolute chunk of a chapter (at around 3,700 words after the latest round of editing.) is finished and edited!

As usual a preview ~~

Bones of beast thousands of times the size of their comparatively little ship. Everything was like this, like deep unspace was a war field of a distant battle at the dawn of time.

Omniscious isn’t it?

See you for Chapter VIII: Detention, where we will have Ariana’s POV of their six months of separation!
