Aaaaand, forget it. I literally couldn't draw to save my life. This is so INFURIATING. I literally can't draw characters or anything organic.
          	
          	Spaceship? Sure!
          	
          	A map/floor-layout? Maybe... it would take a little bit, but I can do it.
          	
          	A character? Forget it. I can't freaking figure this out, they all keep looking fugly.

I'll make an actual announcement once I finish all of them. Not until they're all done, because one of my irrational fears is annoying people's notifications too much.

Hey, I actually did something. And it doesn't look like a disaster...

Guys, I think I'll have the next chapter done literally tomorrow or Saturday. It's basically done. I just have to sweep for errors and write the little notes at beginning and end.
          
          It's frickin' long! So... sorry to the people who hate long chapters. 
          If you LIKE long chapters, good, because this one's gonna be like a 2 to 3 hour read!
          Also, thanks anyone who's still gonna read it after the three month wait!

Just busy backing stuff up. 
          After PROBING the content guidelines, I'm like 99.99% sure I'm fully safe.
          I'm honestly completely certain that I'm fully safe from the unannounced story removals, but, if something happens, I was VERY thorough and have you guys as my witnesses. IDK what prompted me to do this.

Next chapter is coming slowly. It's currently at about 10k words, but I think it'll end at 20k again. I'm really bad at predicting how many words I'll need to effectively communicate the story I'm telling. It's not ideal, and I know a lot of people prefer the shorter 4-5k chapters, and I'm sorry. I just hate breaking the continuity. 
          
          I also just began another semester in college, so that adds to the complexity. It's gonna be a bit. 
          
          Truth be told, I'm not feeling very motivated because, according to wattpad statistics, people only read about the first 20-30% of the last few chapters(on average), which makes me feel like I'm wasting my time writing stuff that nobody will read, so, what's the point in writing? I feel like I'm falling off.
          
          Anyway, hope everyone's doing well.  
          I just wanted to post an update since it's been two months about.

@witwszy explains why that book had around 5000 for one chapter and then over 9000 for the next one

@ROTcoin Under "My Stories", each published story has a "stats" button where you can view statistics of the book, like what age and gender demographic is reading the book, what chapters do better and how much of the chapter people read on average.

@MisterCantaloupe we have good stories being deleted without any notice, but thank god there exists something as "WattPad statistics"
            ...

Hey. How did you manage to come up with the A.I. photos of AMIABW's Alpha Squad. Like what words did you use? I've tried and tried and nothing worked. You don't have to make more AMIABW A.I. images but I want to give it a shot. Try some other things for them.

VastGotenks55

Kind of. I didn't really know anything about A.I. images or videos until over a year ago. When I found out, I got interested.

@VastGotenks55 I mean, you only wanted to talk to me just so I could help you... not for any other reason.

Not exactly. Sure it's the A.I., but I can alter the images in my way on illustrator once I transfer them on there.
