Adventures!AU Director's Cut

As I mentioned in my latest TtFR chapter, I am abandoning my Adventures!AU project, or at least the long-form content side. I'll still post art/snippets on tumblr and my discord server, but the longer stories are getting abandoned. This isn't a hiatus, but a full halt of any future uploads for those stories. Engagement just isn't here any more and I can't keep burning myself out, spending weeks on 4k word chapters that get less than ten views. More can be read on my main tumblr post, but I just wanted to say thanks for following me all these years <3

I love your stories!
          Thanks to you, I started writing myself. Your stories are AMAZING. I hope you're doing well ❤️‍ 
          I can't imagine how much time it took to write and plan all of that...

Howdy everyone, it's been a minute! Hope y'all are doing ok in this crazy timeline we live in. 
          Just wanted to stop in and say keep your eyes peeled for a little something something on this account about a week from now , especially if you've been curious about the chaos that transpired before "Off to a Great Start" began
          See y'all in a week!

Hiya how did you get noticed and so many reads? And did people ever trouble you like if you were in college and stuff

I like reading your stories but your health comes first. So take a break and chill out, get better  then go from there. I was wondering if you did have any other stories other than the bad batch fandom?  Hope you get feeling better

Heads up, here is a link to a much longer update post regarding the hiatus and overall future of Adventures!AU.

          Thanks for sticking around!

Just a heads up, the next chapter of "Fallen Not Forgotten" is coming out sometime this month, but it will unfortunately be the last chapter. I initially had 20 chapters planned, but I got so stressed out about the series that I may or may not have triggered my acid reflux BAD and have been physically ill for the past few weeks. Annndd the symptoms of that have triggered some REALLY BAD health anxiety fears so drastic steps had to be taken to keep me from a total breakdown and I'm more or less shortening and combining the last four planned chapters into a single chapter. 
           
          Hate to do that, but it's a matter of health at this point. Additionally, Adventures!AU has undergone a MAJOR shift in plotline and trajectory so I kinda just want to go ahead and close the book on all Adventures!AU content past TtFR so I can focus on the new future of the series. 
          
          I'm probably gonna make another, more explanation-heavy post in the next week or so (next Saturday probably) but for now I'll just leave it at that. 
          
          Sorry to disappoint, and sorry for the janky quality coming up for chapter 17 of Fallen Not Forgotten. 
          
          In the meantime, while you await the dumpster fire, enjoy this new cover for "Off to a Great Start", which is getting renamed to "The Adventure Begins" for its remaster! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1znQLxTv844az5On_bOxN08v2WWa9B37n/view?usp=sharing 
          Lovely art by my bud Arven92 in DeviantArt!

Hello, I just want to ask some advice for my own creations and Star Wars insert story, if that's okay with you
          But I am having trouble making a name for my oc species. How did you come up with the name for the Alphian species?

It seems as though Wattpad has gone the way of Deviant Art and sold out to another company, and DMs were sent to the chopping block. 
          
          If y'all want to reach me privately, you can do so through my discord (shadowhyder)! Or you can come say hi in my story server, Shadow's Stories (https://discord.gg/Kw8DjaCdgm). I post WIPs and upcoming projects there often :D
          
          Hopefully the purchase of Wattpad doesn't have results as bad as the calamity that was the downfall of Deviant Art, so I can keep posting stories here ^^

Hope y'all are ready for more Adventures!AU content! Two new chapters of Fallen Not Forgotten are heading your way Saturday, Star Wars day!
          
          TtFR will remain on hiatus until 2025 Jan so I can finish out FNF this year (chapters 13-20). Due to dissatisfaction with both FNF and C,MtC those two books are now "non-canon" and should be considered like rough drafts/concept mapping. The general premise (meeting Cody and rescuing Domino) are canon but specifics are not. The updated and canon versions will be posted in the early 2030s. 
          
          I'll be finishing TtFR in the meantime, as well as posting not only "Welcome to War Games "(book 4) but also "Anachronism", which follows Shadow's adventures in the 2011 Tintin movie prior to the events of OtaGS. 
          
          Speaking of, a complete remaster of OtaGS with chapter polishing and new scenes is coming in July! That will be posted on an account dedicated to remastered versions, found here: https://www.wattpad.com/user/AdventuresAU99 . Until then, I'm posting WIPs and such on the discord server for Adventures!AU. 
          
          That was a lot, but happy May 1st everyone! I'm finally done with my Masters so I can dedicate more energy to these stories, I've missed them so much.
