Hey guys.
          
          How many of you are still around? I still have plans for Sapphire in Wonderland - Sapphire has a few things to finish before her story is concluded, but I'm also maybe a 3rd of the way done designing maps for the first game and am getting better at music. Just asking so I know what to put my priority in.

The next chapter of Sapphire in Wonderland is almost done. Queen's getting serious about wanting Sapphire dead, and is actually doing something logical; sending an army after her. 
          
          Strid is also making a comeback as the vile Executioner he's always said to be. I feel Strid hasn't had much of an antagonistic role despite being one of the main villains, so here's a short description; he's over nine hundred pounds, standing at over 7 feet tall, can tank hits from weapons, can outrun Sapphire and her friends, and his axe is so blunt it's comparable to a bludgeon, unlike the First Vao's axe which was kept sharp to cut through enemies - Strid's axe is blunt to make his kills even more excruciating 

The second part of Jub-Jub's boss fight chapter is still in the works. As I said, it's hard to write a fight when the antagonist of said fight is an immortal. 
          
          Hopefully it gets reads when it's finished

The chapters I'm most excited to write for Sapphire in Wonderland are the chapters involving Victoria and showing how out of the old Cult, she was the most tragic character of them all, possibly more than even Mono. Mono's character was tragic in SiW - she lost her entire family and everything she loved and dreamed of having since she was little to an Outer God, and as far as you know, is suffering a fate worse than death. 
          
          What little we know of Victoria is that the Mad Hatter stripped her mortality from her and forced being the Queen of Wonderland onto her. Of course she can still be killed, but there's a trick to that that'll be revealed later, and just how bad she was screwed over. We also know she wasn't too fond of the idea of being the Queen of Hearts from the diaries.
          
          Ooh, I'm getting excited to write about it.

I unpublished Chapter 44: MELTDOWN because I was unsatisfied with it. To those that were in the middle of reading, I'm changing some things and adding new interactions. 
          
          Also, this spin-off has a lot of chapters. To those wondering why, it's due to the chapters in general being shorter compared to the other stories. The reason is because so much happens that it feels weird to make a longer chapter about 3 different major events happening at once. I've been thinking about changing the short chapters though, and making them longer. This means a lot would be happening in a chapter, but, well, I kind of hope it will help gain more reads. Sapphire in Wonderland doesn't have a lot of readers.
          
          Sorry for the false alarm of a new chapter.

Man a boss fight chapter about Jub-Jub is hard to write
          
          She's completely immune to whatever Sapphire can throw at her, she's insanely powerful, and she controls flames of Madness. I won't say just what her full capabilities are until near the end of the spin-off, but DAMN is it hard to write a feesible way for Sapphire to win. Basically, she's going to have to find a way to win since she literally CAN'T fight Jub-Jub.
          
          Put it this way; the First Vao was among the strongest of the original cast throughout the trilogy, able to rival a Celestial in terms of magic and through sheer will. Mono was mentally the strongest of the original cast, able to destroy her own Blood without using its weakness of Light and Dark.
          
          Jub-Jub can kill both of them at the same time without even putting any effort into it. And she's STILL weaker than the Mad Hatter and Baphomet.

I'm currently working on a Google Doc expanding on lore for Twist that we didn't get the chance to see due to it not having much of a place to mention in the stories. Would you guys be interested in reading about that in the Ideas book?

Jub-Jub makes an appearance again soon.

I love it when the story has been seemingly more of a comedy/adventure so the readers get attached to the characters, only to break the false sense of security with a nuclear warhead.
          
          It makes the characters that much more valuable when no one is safe, doesn't it?

New update. 
          
          I recommend giving it a read if you're still around. It talks about the future of the story, the game, and generally this account.
