A Diamond That Doesn't Shine

Q&A

Hello, readers. Today I want to do AQ and a to get you all ready for chapter 3. No I know plenty of you guys are either gonna skip this Or just not read it at all. But there is going to be a lot of information about why I was not present and in writing and some more information about chapter 3 and the rest of the book.

First let's talk questions.

Question one : what happened to black diamond?

As much as I want to spoil the series for you guys. I can't. I'm actually in the process of dropping hints and writing more information about what happened after we left Black Diamond in chapter one.Along with things happening before chapter one even began and things that happened before chapter 2 prolog. In fact, in the very first chapter, we talk a lot about Black Diamond her tendencies and just how the original 3 gems (Perry, Spinel, Andesine) met and ended up on earth taking care of Y/N.

Question 2: How chapter 3 going to be set up? Will it be similar or completely different to chapter 1 and 2?

I'm honestly glad someone asked me this question so far. Chapter one and chapter 2 have all been based off of getting to know the characters, the premises and the goals or ideologies of these characters. Chapter 3, however, is going to be heavily based on actual plot. Chapter 3 is going to be divided up into many arcs, making it the longest chapter that I have written so far, but also probably the longest chapter in the whole book. 

Chapter 3 will be set up with the following arcs.

Memories consisting of 2 to 3 updates

Powers consisting of the least amount of updates of only 1

Friends in Old Places consisting of about 4 to 5 updates.

Forced Fusion, consisting of once again 4 to 5 updates.

Bonding, which will only consist of about 3 updates.

The Cluster , which will consist of about 5 to 6 updates from multiple perspectives, Including the main character, Stephen and the crystal gems and even the diamond authority.

Steven which will consist about 3 updates.

And last but not least Home Sweet Home, which will only consist of 2 updates.

I personally believe that a few of these chapters are going to be really Fun to write.

Question 3: What will the rest of the series look like? ( One I wish to talk about)

So, as you all know, chapter one and chapter 2 were heavily focused on getting to know all of the characters. Chapter 3 is getting to know what drives the main character and what relationships and emotions they have before returning to home world.

The future chapters consist of chapter 4, where the main character and Steven are in home world.

Chapter 5 will consist of the Stephen effect. Steven trying to bring the diamonds together and hopefully cause peace.

Chapter 6 will be treated much like Stephen universe.The future talking about the events from the past Chapters well also. Covering some wrap up information and dealing with some leftover trauma. It Will also be where I will include bonus episodes from all the seasons in the past or just fun little episodes that I have in my drafts right now but don't quite fit in any point in the story.

This story is probably gonna be finished right around Christmas in 2025. After that, I'll be starting a brand new series. Although we haven't quite figured out what kind of series I'm going for yet. I've kind of just been hopping between 2 or 3 ideas.

Speaking of what will happen after this book is over. I actually have a plan to go back and do my owl house series. Based off of the idea of collectors, I only posted one episode on the year anniversary. Alehouse ended, but I do want to go back and finish it up.

After that I do have a few ideas for books that I either might do at the same time or I might just wait and climb down with that series.  I hope to touch on Amphibia and gravity falls as soon as I can.But who knows?If I actually get there I do actually want to touch on Voltron from Netflix.

I'm also not completely against the idea of touching on animes such as Fairytale, bunga stray dogs, My Hero Academia, or more.

Question 4? Why did I stop writing for so land why did the story have to change original plots?

Well, for starters, when I stopped writing the story in about January My great-grandmother had passed away and then about a month after right when I was finally starting to get back into the writing. My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer.

After that I just couldn't bring myself to write for a while. But I'm back and I'm here to stay now.

The fact that the story plot stayed relatively the same yet changed quite a bit at the same time was well because I forgot all my old ideas. I hadn't touched this story in so long that.  Even after re-reading sometimes I completely forgot what I was gonna do there. Or etc so I was gonna rewrite the story and then go from there. So I knew every point I knew every detail and it would just be so much easier for me to write.

The first episode of chapter 3 will be out probably Friday or Saturday. I look forward to you already and I hope that you will enjoy.
