Alright. I made some new Pixel art. This was supposed to be animated for the new year, but that didn't really end up happening. But you can have the image instead.
          	
          	https://drive.google.com/file/d/15ieNc2ZvlGObkgC2EJ_Rwv-z9G5KkQHn/view?usp=drivesdk
          	
          	So there's that for anyone who's curious. I have another one that I'm working on. I had some time to work on it while I was waiting in line to get my haircut. While I was waiting, a kid playing on his phone came in. I don't know what he was playing, but apparently, he was trying to kill the skibidi's. And you could tell because he had the volume up, so it sounded like there were shots being fired in the barbershop.
          	
          	Obviously... I was traumatized by this, and now I am currently hiding out in the middle of the woods in a cave. I am not coming out until either all toilets are banned from the U.S.A. Or I get tired of sleeping on rocks. Either way, that was my day today.
          	
          	In more interesting news, the next chapter of the Story of Dome should be almost finished!

Story of Dome is out! Chapter one is at least... I was gonna wait to publish the story, but I decided that Chapter one will be a good first taste of what the story will be like, and I couldn't wait to hear from you!
          
          Consider Chapter one of Story of Dome to be more like... A teaser. A trailer maybe. I might write a few chapters ahead and publish chapters 2, 3, maybe 4 back to back. But we'll see. So yeah, Consider Chapter 1 of Story of Dome a trailer for the story.
          
          I really hope you enjoy it! I'm super excited to write this story! I hope to hear from everybody about how you feel about Chapter one, (The trailer) I really want to hear your thoughts on it! I can only hope to bring the same lovable energy that Dome had in Futuristic World back to life in this new prequel story!
          
          Thank you all for waiting! And please enjoy this teaser! You all mean a lot to me, and I always accept feedback, suggestions, and questions!

Okay, so I'm kinda just curious and wanna hear from you guys. What do you think is a long chapter for a story? I know some writers on here normally try to reach about 1,000 words. Most of the chapters in my first story, Lost Treasures, were around 1,500 words long. But those later chapters in Futuristic World were reaching over 10,000 words.
          
          So, if you write your own stories, how many words do you try to aim for? And what would you consider to be, "Too long," I guess you could say if you are just a reader?
          
          Anyways... The Story of Dome is still in working progress. I'm not sure if I'll publish the first chapter once it's done, or write several chapters, and publish them all at once. That might end up delaying things... I don't know. I'll think about it. I should probably focus on trying to get back to Earth after I accidentally teleported to an alternate universe where everybody uses Bing instead of Google. Hope to hear from you all soon!

@MrDerp1 I try to shoot for one to two thousand words per chapter, but as a reader I absolutely love reading chapters that are around the 10,000 word mark. I'd say write however many words you want to write and I'll happily read every single word :>

@MrDerp1 Just type until you feel satisfied. I like long chapters, we like long chapters. Heck even when I try to make a 'medium sized chapter' it always goes from 5000 words to 8000. I remember reading a 20K word chapter and tbh it was an enjoyable experience.

@MrDerp1 I say go with what you are happy with writing. Me personally I like reading a long chapter, but I can't write to save my life.

Random Question. What is something, if anything, you think would be interesting to see in the next upcoming story, Story of Dome? I have a list of things that absolutely HAVE to happen in that story. The 199 followers celebration is just one example of something that has to be in the story. But I just want to see what other people's ideas are. Kinda just as a reminder that I'm still very active.
          
          If you can't think of anything that you would like to see in Story of Dome, then you can just describe the steps of doing a backflip... But incorrectly.

@MrDerp1 nice, I was very curious about how you were going to tell the backstory of dome's and conners friendship 
Reply

MrDerp1

@Wolfman69696969 Actually... Now that I'm thinking about it.. For what I'm planning for the story... The whole story is actually kinda about what caused Conners great fall.
Reply

MrDerp1

@Wolfman69696969 Oh, Conner will be important for Story of Dome, but I wasn't worried about showing how they met. I'm just doing before Conner went crazy and what caused him to finally lose it. Otherwise, Conner will still be very important for the story, and probably be a bigger threat than what he was in Futuristic World.

The next year is upon us! Everybody brace yourselves! HIT THE DECK!
          
          Joking aside... I hope everyone is doing well. I did have a pixel art animation I wanted to have for this... But I didn't give myself time to work on it and time moves faster than I expected. Oh well, you're really only here for the stories. Which I am happy to say that while a new year is upon us, so is a new story... At some point...
          
          I'm working on Story of Dome. I wouldn't expect it soon, but I'm slowly trying to get myself to get back to work. I hope to see and hear from everyone soon. I will come out of my doomsday bunker once I feel that it is safe. Have a good one, everyone!

@MrDerp1 your new years sound way more exciting than mine. I just slept through it. I'd suggest not coming out tho, it's a nuclear wasteland out here.
            
            Jokes aside, I wish you the best of luck on all your endeavors

@MrDerp1 Happy New Years to you buddy! Also I feel glad that you have a bunker, could use it here but I'll survive one way or another. Looking forward to a year filled with great books and wonderful pixel art!

Well, that didn't take long at all! We have officially reached 199 followers! Let's start off with me saying thank you to everyone for sticking with me and following me! I love to write for you, and I love to get my readers involved with my stories! With Futuristic World now finally over with after over a year of working on it, It's time for me to start working on other stories. As I've mentioned before... The next story to come out is the spin-off prequel story to Futuristic World known as Story of Dome. I have already started planning what I want to do for it, but there is one thing that I had in mind to truly celebrate reaching 199 followers!
          
          I want to hear from everyone who sees this. I like to get readers involved, and I want to get you involved with helping me write Story of Dome. My idea to celebrate 199 followers is to allow you to craft a location for Dome! What do I mean you may ask...?
          
          Somewhere in Night Glow city is a large Dome shaped structure that wasn't seen in Futuristic World. A fitting place for someone literally named Dome to visit, huh? It's a massive area for Dome to go to for whatever reason in the next story... But what I want to hear from you is what should be inside the Dome structure.
          
          I will choose someone's idea and add their idea for what should be inside the Dome structure. You will be credited highly, but I will only choose you if your idea is creative enough. Image that inside this giant Dome structure is a sandbox for you to do whatever you want in. It could be a massive wipeout obstacle course over some water, a big laser tag arena full of traps, whatever you can think of! Your only limit is your imagination! Remember that your idea may shape Dome's journey in the story directly, and that's exactly what I want!
          
          Give me your best! I don't care what your idea is, so go crazy! Remember, I can only choose one person.. so make your idea stand out! Thank you again, and I hope to hear from many!

@MrDerp1 I just realized that this could be useful in the upcoming sequel, maybe we could have Dome train Y/N how to use a firearm or basic military tactics.

@MrDerp1 Be as free as you want with it, although the near death experiences would be fake since first it would be in his head, AKA Stage 1 testing, then it gets to the real world where the things he avoided in the simulation are actually real and have consequences, Stage 2 testing. It would be like you playing a military simulation game then doing it IRL.
Reply

MrDerp1

@Overripemuffin57 Very good idea! I'm impressed with the amount of effort you put into this idea. I haven't even considered a Riotgen testing area. Good stuff!
            
            Though if it's an artificial simulation, the near death experiences you mentioned would be technically fake, correct? Or perhaps some stuff is real, like the weapons he might end up using, or maybe the simulation requires him to do a number of things. Such as kicking down a door to enter a building. Or maybe he accidentally enters an active simulation, and a Riotgen mistakes Dome as a holographic threat. Or if we want to go for a more military training rount, then it could be a war scenario which would definitely do things to Dome. Just gotta make sure I understand everything first. Unless you would rather for me to decide myself once I actually start writing that part.

I am pleased to say that the next two chapters for Futuristic World are now completed! Finally... Now all I have left is the BONUS chapter, and the next update for the story should be somewhat soon depending on how long that chapter is.
          
          As a early Christmas gift to you, here is more animated pixel art made by your truly to enjoy!

          Hope you like that. I was just bored and decided to make something Christmas related. Anyways, I'm almost ready to update the story. Just gotta do a bit of extra work, and I will see you all soon!
          
          Side note: Thank you everyone who has followed me recently! I plan to do something special for reaching 199 followers, and I hope I can reach that number soon. I hope everyone has a good day!

@MrDerp1 I read so far in Futuristic World

@MrDerp1 Glad you could finish them and thanks for the Christmas gift! Just make sure you take a break after making those two chapters, I know how exhausting it can be working on two at once...
            
            You have a good day or night wherever you are Mr Derp1.

@MrDerp1 My apologies. I forgot to change it so people can actually watch the animated Pixel art. I realized this after people were requesting access.
            
            It should be working now. Let me know if it still doesn't allow you to view it.

MrDerp1

As always... I apologize for the long wait. I'm having trouble writing this one part in the story. Guess It's just one of those writing phases, huh? Having trouble actually writing a scene. Oh well! At least I'm trying to add progress every day. Even if I only have time for a few words.
          
          Hopefully, I'll have everything done by Christmas. Three chapters are waiting for you, though... One of them is just a small bonus chapter that will just show my writing process really.
          
          Anyways, is anyone excited for Christmas? It was always a favorite holiday for me. I wish you all a good Christmas for when the day comes around soon. I will get back to writing after I get myself unstuck from this chimney! (Don't ask). I hope to see you soon!
          
          
          
          .....Assuming that I don't drop into the fire below me... Being stuck in a chimney sucks... Please get me out.....

@MrDerp1 I won't ask why you're stuck there, what i will say is I hope your holiday time stuff is pleasant.
