For those of you who follow my Danganronpa story (Entertaining a Small Thought), I have a question for you all. Brief status update for the story first: I am currently writing the final trial, and while I have the next chapter written, I am going to wait until I finish the entire trial so I can make sure the case is fully up to snuff. 
          	
          	While I am doing that, I have also decided to finally start rewriting the prologue section of EaST (exciting stuff). So far it looks like there will be fewer overall chapters, but they'll be just as long as my usual chapters typically tend to be nowadays (so around 10k words). I also might rewrite/add to the free time events of the story since those are mostly copy/paste of the in game free time events for most characters and I'm more confident that I can do more original stuff. I might also make entirely new FEs to help fill out chapters, or maybe I'll use some cut ideas I had that I didn't use, like a pool/swimsuit chapter (because why not? It's obligatory.). I'm not sure yet.
          	
          	I will be focusing more on the final trial more than the prologue rewrite, though I might flip flop depending on either motivation/circumstances. So while I have these chapter rewrites in my head, I want to ask you, my audience, what you would like to see in a rewrite of the prologue and maybe free time events. Any interactions you want to see? Any ideas for things you would like to see in the prologue? I'm open to suggestions and ideas.

@GrimGenesis nothing comes to mind, but it's been so long since I've read the prologue that I can confirm "I forgor"

Just updated my FF.net profile with lots of details about my current status and future story ideas. Check it out if you want to know what's been up with me. 
          
          To summarize, I took a summer class and it sucked ass. Work has been steadily going down hill, and both my class and work have left me exhausted with no will to write. I am now done with my summer class and my fall semester starts at the end of August. I will also get a new job on my college campus then, so hopefully I will have more time to write, though school will be my priority. Writing my current stories have been hard and I've been spending time playing games or writing other things instead, which I've detailed those stories on FF.net. I'm hoping to either have the next chapter of EaST or Bit by Bit soon, maybe when fall classes start depending on my motivation. And to anyone still wondering, no I will not ever bring the og Bit by Bit back. I don't even have it anymore. 
          
          I hope everyone else's summer has been going better than mine. I'll see you guys soon.

@GrimGenesis all understandable. Enjoy the last bits of summer!

For those of you who are interested, I have just posted a few chapters to three new stories. One is a Fate/Grand Order story, another is a Fire Emblem Awakening/Kingdom Hearts Crossover, and the last one is a Kingdom Hearts story focusing on the Organization. 
          
          These have been sitting in my document files for a long time as I randomly add more to them. As I'm finishing up EaST (I'm almost done with the next chapter, but there's a lot of stuff in it that I want to go over again to make sure the information is accurately shown.), I decided that I could post what I have for some of these stories in the meantime. It took way longer to go through these stories for proofreading and editing, but I'm pretty happy with what these stories have so far, and I can't wait to get back to writing them once EaST is done. 
          
          Anyway, please check out these stories if you're interested. I've got Final Exams next week, so the next update might take a while. After that, I've got a lot of Summer Work and a Summer Class to juggle, but I'll try to still have time for writing.

Just an update since my last post:
          
          Haven't been able to write or post in a while due to my recent trip to Vegas. The shitty laptop that I use couldn't connect to the hotel wifi. I then got sick, which was just dandy. Thankfully, the silver lining is I'm getting a new laptop soon that I'm told is amazing. I'll finally be able to write without having to wait an hour for my laptop to adjust to turning on or other random bullshit. That'll make writing so much better, I hope.

@GrimGenesis Ugh, technical difficulties are the worst. Hope the new one is up to snuff!

Just finished exams. This semester was so incredibly stressful for a number of reasons. Either way, I now have a lot of time to dedicate to writing again when I'm not catching up on my video game archive. 
          
          I have a few chapters of Draw of the Cards to edit and post, then I plan on writing a few chapters of Bit by Bit Kai to finish up the Origin Saga. After that, I'll probably try to finish Entertaining a Small Thought. At least I hope to finish it before the New Year. 
          
          If I'm really feeling like it or if I'm really insane, I might (big might) edit some drafts of stories I have and publish the chapters I have already since I have plenty of story drafts sitting in my google docs. The same stories I detail on my Fanfiction.net account  I don’t know yet if I will. Depends on how I feel because if I do publish those new story drafts, that means I'll be jumping between a lot of different stories, and I haven't been able to consistently write for three. We'll see. Hope you guys have a great holiday break like I plan to.

@GrimGenesis that answers why we haven't seen you in some time. Hope your exams went well! Thought I must say, good luck getting all that writing done, sounds like quite a bit

So, very random question for anyone who might care. If I were to do a death battle reaction fic, what would you want to see in it? Not saying that I will do one, since it seems pretty intimidating to me right now, but it's been on my mind since I really like reaction fics, but I'm so sick of seeing dozens of amazing ones get abandoned. 
          
          I've also had reaction fics on the mind since I've been reading a bunch lately, and I really want to do a Rain Code reaction fic eventually (though I have no idea when). Add to that the fact that I've been watching a lot of death battle lately since their recent season is incredible so far, and now I've got another potential fic to add to my ever growing list of ideas.
          
          Also, the next chapter of EaST will probably be posted sometime tomorrow if nothing gets in the way if you're only interested in that.

@GrimGenesis Won't find out unless you fuck around. Glad to see whatever you come up with (I have no clue what any of that is but it sounds cool)

@GrimGenesis Yeah, that's why there are a ton of "meh" reaction fics. It's hard to nail one, and they're usually way better when there's a big plot twist or secret plot element within the story the characters don't know about like Subaru's Return by Death in Re:Zero. 
            
            That's the reason why I feel a Rain Code reaction fic would be a lot of fun, and also why I sorta want to do a death battle one but not really. I don’t know how I would make it interesting or give it real subtance. Because it's been done to death, how would I make this one different from others. I honestly just want to make it just because it seems simple and most of the ones I find are abandoned, and that upsets me greatly, but I have no idea who I would use to make it interesting. 
            
            Also, Rain Code is amazing, and I hope you enjoy it

          I knew the moment I read "Birthday Post" at the beginning of the recent Entertaining A Small Thought chapter that I had to finish this thingy I've been working on!
          
          It's just a leisure attempt at drawing again since I haven't been drawing for a while, but I figured it was worth finishing it today even if it's uber simple xD Eventually I'll be back with something a bit more complex when I replace my shortcut keyboard that fried in the middle of making this  
          
          Aaaanyways! Happy Birthday! Here's your coincidental-perfectly-timed gift! (hopefully the link works)

@NeoStarReset Thank you so much! This is a really amazing gift! It has given me even more motivation to write. To quote plankton: "Time to shift into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!"

Just beat Rain Code, and HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS GAME. It's one of the best new games I've played this year, and it's definitely one of my all-time favorites now. It's gonna be in my head rent-free for the next few months.

Hope you're doing well, and hope editing the old chapters for Entertaining a Small Thought is goin as you planned!

PearlWeapon

@GrimGenesis Those are some good excuses that I'm glad to hear. I'm also excited to see how you wrap up the story!

@PearlWeapon It has been going well, though I have taken a break from writing. Currently at the start of arc 3's investigation. Got stalled by work and my disney world vacation. Gonna get back into writing soon, though. I'm getting real excited thinking of future chapters of all my stories.
