https://mortaki.neocities.org/works/theruse updates for the novella, The Ruse, by Mortaki https://mortaki.neocities.org/works/theruse <p>I have sidelined The Ruse for now. I will not stop updating it, but I've realized that they will not be as frequent as I initially believed, and it felt dishonest to have it on the front page of my site.</p> <p>Its page is still up and will continue to be so. It is also still located in the <a href="https://mortaki.neocities.org/works/main">All Works</a> page, though it is no longer considered a WIP and has been labelled to reflect my lack of focus on it.</p> <p>This is a pretty sad one for the second update in the feed, but it is what it is :(</p> Sat, 18 Oct 2025 09:20:00 -0500 https://mortaki.neocities.org/works/theruse <p>The Ruse is a brand new story for me in a lot of ways (though I wrote the first chapter AGES ago) so there's not a lot to talk about. Even so, here is all recent activity:</p> <ul> <li>made this rss feed!</li> <li>posted <a href="https://mortaki.neocities.org/works/theruse/tr-reader#1">chapter one</a></li> <li>added an in-browser <a href="https://mortaki.neocities.org/works/theruse/tr-reader">reader</a></li> </ul> <p>I've already started chapter two so never fear! More coming... soon-ish.</p> Sun, 05 Oct 2025 20:05:00 -0500
