Welcome!

Welcome to the home of Three O’Clock, a serial web-novel updating on Sundays. In the broadest terms, it is a modern fantasy story (with a hint of anime undertones), and is recommended for readers aged 16+ due to occasionally coarse language and potentially sensitive themes.

If you are a returning reader, the current chapters may be found on the front page or at the 3oclock_talk LJ community, as always.

If you are a new reader, please start reading at the beginning. Three’s chapters are often not self-contained and it is recommended that new readers read from the beginning to get the most out of subsequent chapters. All chapters are linked together, skipping over any posts that are not tagged “chapters” so that you may read uninterrupted by my non-story rambling if you so choose. :)

If you wish to contact me, please feel free to do so! You can do this through comments on this site, through comments on my personal LiveJournal, comments on the LJ community, or by sending an email to: harpydora-at-gmail-dot-com.

Wordpress Updates

I’m currently installing the latest version of WordPress, so things might get wonky. Please be patient while I get everything sorted. :)

Hiatus Update

Well, things have progressed. Not the way I wanted them to, but things have fallen out and I’ll be moving early next month. So the hiatus will continue until sometime mid- to late-June.

I will still be around, and hopefully still posting things until the story gets back on its feet, but it is highly unlikely I will be able to do anything until June.

Another Interview: Len

While the story is on hiatus, that doesn’t stop me from posting some extra content for you guys to enjoy. Here’s another interview meme, this time featuring Len. My first instinct had been to do Kiih, but most of his answers would probably involve, “It’s none of your business, go away.”

BASICS
Name: Len din’Ferago sa’Vienne
Birthdate: Believe it or not, my birthday often falls on the last day of Festival.
Birth Place: A small village at the foot of the Trans-Vienni mountains; I am sure you have not heard of it.
Current Location: The second story of a shop I tend with Mer on the outskirts of Nachtlin proper.
Eye Color: Favorably compared to violet.
Hair Color: Brown.
Height: Not the least bit imposing.
Weight: Sturdy.
Piercing: Several, mostly in my ears. Each one has a meaning.
Tattoos: A few, but I only share them with those I am close to.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: None.
Overused Phrase: I have never paid much attention. It probably involves chastising Mercutio.

Temporary Hiatus

This post has been sort of a long time coming. For the past month or so, my personal life has entered a tailspin and I have had neither the ability nor the drive to write like I need to. I don’t want to get into specifics, but things are still very shaky. They probably will be for a couple of weeks yet.

So it is with an extremely heavy heart that I say I am putting Three on hiatus. Hopefully things will settle out in the very near future and I will be able to resume regular updates sometime in May. I am very, very sorry that it had to come to this.

Extra Interview Fun!

Today’s Extras Day is going to involve an “interview” with Yuri, just for kicks.

BASICS
Name: Yuri Kitazawa (Dad doesn’t write his name the Japanese way, and neither do I.)
Birthdate: March 8
Birth Place: Atlanta, GA (I’ve moved around a lot, though; Dad did a lot of contract work.)
Current Location: Technically, I live in Maryland now, but I’m prone to… um, wandering. Yeah, let’s go with “wandering.”
Eye Color: Green.
Hair Color: Purple with some black streaks. I swear it’s natural!
Height: 5′4″ Tall enough to not be too short, but short enough that I can’t reach anything. :/
Weight: About a buck and some change.
Piercing: Nah. I got my ears pierced once, but they closed and I never bothered to do it again.
Tattoos: Nope. Maybe one day, but I doubt it.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Umm… not really. But there is someone I like a lot. Does that count?
Overused Phrase: Arguably “jerkface,” but he really deserves it sometimes. :P
