text: #Hello r/Shortstories! I’m back again to celebrate our third writer completing their serial on the . It has been a pleasure to be able to help inspire each of you week to week and provide a place for your writing to grow and evolve. And when one of you brings your story to a close, I am both sad to see the wonderful world end and proud of your accomplishment. This week, let's take a moment to say to u/EdsMusings for his completion of *The Twilight of Gods* on Serial Sunday. &nbsp; *** &nbsp; #The Twilight of Gods - Written by u/EdsMusings If you haven’t yet read his serial, set aside some time to check it out. You can find all the links below, as well as on his personal subreddit, . **A brief synopsis from Ed:** When the end of the world approaches, Lif, Thor and Loki have to confront their own fate. But when they start preparing for it, they realize their fates are not that far apart from each other. But how long can they delay the inevitable? And is it really the end of the world? - - - - - - - - - - - - - &nbsp; *** &nbsp; #A Chat with u/EdsMusings about Serial Writing So, let’s take a few minutes to chat with Ed about his experiences writing a serial. ##**What have you learned throughout the serial writing process?** I learned that I am capable of doing bigger projects and not immediately quitting. I think that mostly comes from the community. Each week, a lot of writers put hard work into their serial. And that idea gives you the push to do the same. ##**What did you enjoy most about writing this?** Twilight of Gods is very much based on mythology. Like, if you'd read the Volùspa, the text I based it on, you'd see a lot of similarities. The thing I enjoyed most was trying to come up with ways to twist around the mythology. And I think that can be seen mostly in how I wrote Loki. He's more unhinged and has kind of lost that sly cunningness that's so typical for him, although you still kind of see it in some chapters. ##**What was the biggest challenge you faced and how did you overcome it?** Like I said, having to write weekly was something I wasn't really looking forward to. It got hard to put writing in my quite packed schedule and that made me stress quite a bit when I had delayed the writing until 2 hours before campfire began. I allowed myself some leeway later on by not forcing myself to write every week. Sometimes, it was just because I couldn't find a fitting story for the theme, and sometimes, I just had a hard time writing. ##**What advice would you give to writers who are thinking about writing a serial for the first time?** I'd probably spam the gif of Shia Labeouf yelling "do it!" until they're convinced. But in all seriousness, it's a leap of faith. You gotta believe that it's gonna work out 'cause I can assure you, when you take that leap, there will be people down there who will catch you. &nbsp; *** &nbsp; #Thanks!
