Alright I'm back will start writing, gimme a minute. 

MageProfessor_Simon

Post-Writing for Chapter 61
          
          SPOILER ALERT PLEASE DONT READ THE REST OF THE POST IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE NEW CHAPTER.
          
          
          
          Sorry! I intended to keep the conversation going until the end but the chapter was getting a little too long and I didn't have the mental fortitude to sit on it for longer than I needed to. SO, I decided to separate it into parts, with Chapter 61 being part 1.
          
          I really hope I didn't overstep with how I wrote Rinko, I genuinely believe she has the potential to be far more layered if I played my cards right for the next chapters. There's something in there I have to draw out, I just have to figure out how to go about it.
          
          I was genuinely all over the place with the direction of the conversation, not gonna lie. I had like a list of things I wanted the scene to achieve, and ticking them all as I go was quite the struggle.
          
          Anyway, I'm going to commit to my other responsibilities first before the next chapter comes around. It won't be too long till then, I hope.
          
          See yall soon!

@MageProfessor_Simon Did you at the very least kiss the wholesome poetry about Yuuki before using it to stab our hearts with malicious intent?

@HassanNight33 Do not trust yourself when you say "man this idea of mine sure is cool, I'm too lazy to write it down though, but I'm sure I'll remember it later once I have time."
            
            No. No you will not write your idea down. And yes you will forget the idea.
            
            Write down everything you thought of in the spur of the moment as you live out your life. Tell it to someone who can tolerate your ramblings about your stories, that way you have a bunch of backups in case you missed anything.
            
            Empathy towards others is key in making good dialogue and characters, put yourself in the shoes of the people around you and think about how they would react when faced certain challenges.
            
            Also, don't be stuck to any format you might come up with. Be messy and barebones with your notes, focus on quantity, make it fun for you to write down so you also document your emotions when coming up with it on paper. It helps to get you back in the mood when you're organizing everything. Immediately filtering your ideas to sound good or put together can be a slog sometimes.
            
            I hope that helps!

Darn, AI bots have been popping up in comment sections on this site for awhile huh? How long was I out for?

@MageProfessor_Simon you didn't see anything, there were no misspellings in my previous message, I don't know what you're talking about.

@MageProfessor_Simon I should whack you with a stick for saying such things about yourself.
            
            To be honest, I was worried that the contest could've forced you to twist your vision into something you wouldn't enjoy writing. So if anything, I'd say hearing this is a big relief.
            
            It's not the end, Simon.
            
            It just means Heaven will have to wait a bit more before it can Descend.
            
            ...
            
            i WILL be taking that chapter though, thankyouverymuch.

ANNOUNCEMENT #1!
          
          Regarding future developments of Crimson Rosario - An SAO Fanfic, Yuuki Konno X OC, there will be significant changes in the way in which I will approach coming back to the work.
          
          Just to put it out there, my entire world STILL revolves around the grace and beauty of our great and esteemed love child from Sword Art Online, Yuuki Konno. I refuse to abandon the story and commit such a disservice to her, the hundreds of hours I spent during my teenage years, and especially to the fans who read my work.
          
          HOWEVER, the writing of future chapters of Crimson Rosario will be very different from what you have all read so far. I have decided to alter the pacing and point of view of the story to an extent that allows me to write it in a more direct, storytelling manner, without padding the chapters with insane amounts of monologue and character expressions.
          
          I recalled that I often find myself coming up with new scenes and ideas faster than I can write the story itself. It got to the point that I started having a stronger passion towards the plot that happens in the UNDERWORLD ARC than I do with the current arc my fanfic is currently on. Which, by the way, IS STILL IN MOTHER'S ROSARIO.
          
          IT'S NOT EVEN FINISHED.
          
          Yeah it drives me NUTS. You all deserve to see my ideas play out in real time, AS I COME UP WITH THEM.
          
          It will be something new, but I promise you the enjoyment of it will be better than it has ever been. (I hope). It will be more like I am retelling the events of Akashi's adventures in the verse to you in my own words, the dramatic moments will have the same flare, but without me showing you the little bits that pad a lot of my chapters.
          
          I hope you all come to accept my decision, and come to love the story just as much as I have coming up with it. I know this might not be what some of you wanted, you hoped I would be back with the same quality and grandeur as the stuff I wrote when I was 14-16... but this is the healthiest option for us now.

What up, it's... not Wednesday, my dudes. Darn, it's Thursday. I knew I should've posted something yesterday.
          
          HI HI HELLO I AM BACK!
          
          GUESS WHAT, I JUST FINISHED MY DIPLOMA AFTER 2.5 YEARS!
          GUESS WHAT, I WON BEST FINAL YEAR PROJECT FOR MY 5TH SEMESTER!
          GUESS WHAT, I AM GETTING BACK INTO WRITING!
          
          LADIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAND GENTLEMAAAAAAAAAAN
          
          THE EGO MANIAC FANFIC AUTHOR BRIMMING WITH PRIDE AND HATE HAS GRACED YOU ALL ONCE MORE!
          
          REJOICE AND GIVE PRAISE!
          
          I would like to start off by first saying THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I AM SO SORRY FOR HAVING YOU ALL WAIT UNTIL I FINISHED THIS STAGE OF MY EDUCATION!
          
          I know that a lot of you might have forgotten about me already (highly likely), but to those who still hoped I would come back and concerned themselves with my happiness and existence, YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOUUUUU!!! I DON'T DESERVE YOU ALLLL!
          
          Alright, ahem. Now, for updates.
          
          I have not only finished my diploma, but I'll have everyone know that I am among the TOP STUDENTS of my program, having achieved dean's lists for up to 4 semesters so far and have passed my 5th just a few days ago with flying colours! (Dean's list for semester 5 is yet to be determined) -- (But I think I aced it)
          
          Everyone, your patience was not in vain, I have shown the academic world WHAT I AM REALLY CAPABLE OF! THOUGHT I WAS ALL TALK? SAY LESS, THE WORLD HAS BORNE WITNESS TO MY ASCENSION!
          
          I have learnt A LOT from my time in Uni, my understanding of the English language has grown more in-depth and clearer. Now I can make sense of basic and advanced grammatical theories, complex syntax and semantics, familiarise myself with the evolution of language over time, and widen my perception of the intricacies of literature.
          
          I was inspired and tested. Every second I spent pouring my all into improving my craft has led up to this day. And I got results to show for it!
          
          I am so happy! I can't wait to get back to writing!
          
          However... Ehe. I've got some other stuff to announce.
