Sorry for the radio silence after the past eleven days, believe me when I say that Chapter 17 for my co09 is close to completion, but I wish to clarify things first. So I'll get straight to the point:
          	
          	I don't think I'll be working on my co09 book as much anymore. 
          	
          	When I tried to get myself back up to steam, it would flush out almost immediately after beginning the first few paragraphs. There are two consisting variables that follow with my deflation from my interest in '09:
          	
          	- Hyperfixation for '09 finally diminished after half a year.
          	- Content drought (if it weren't for the artists and animators, I would've given up after Flipside dropped)
          	
          	Not to mention, my book in particular takes more than 48 hours to read (if you're crazy enough to do that in one sitting) which I'm content people still read and vote on the parts which means the world to me.
          	
          	Another reason I hadn't stated was that my writing for my other books feel shallow, specifically the Prequel Movie Trilogy stuff. I'm planning to de-publish, rewrite them starting from zero. I'm not discouraged from writing them again, it's just that it feels a little too cringe to me. For the past few days, I've had several better starting points that would help with the book's better visualization, narrative, diction, dialogue, and more. So I definitely wasn't sitting on my ass this entire time instead of pulling random things and cameos.
          	
          	So, I know you were expecting some good news, but you didn't gain much. I'm entering this part of my life where stress is at an all-time high. Family drama, etc. I don't want to sweat over the details and vent like it's my last day on earth, so I figured I need to channel this stress into writing that will inspire many viewers to write fanfics on their own one day. So if they aspire to become a writer, they'll look back on their origins.
          	
          	So for the good news, next co09 Chapter will be dubbed, "Fahrenheit 451 Degrees", and this chapter will definitely be heated!

@ Shadow_Collective99  Fair enough, specially after the third installment has been the most fleshed out of the 3 with the best version of the Reader and what's probably about to become the best version of his relationship with Nicole.
          	  It would be a shame just to throw it away

@mr_joe_343 I know, but I don't want to leave it on a sour note. Until Class of '09 gains traction again, I'll have to wait and see.

@ Shadow_Collective99  There's no shame on discontinuing it if you completely lose your drive on it

Happy May 4th! Sorry for the radio silence for the past few days, I was working on some of my other book drafts, and I didn't feel like announcing anything that wasn't noteworthy! I'd say around next week or perhaps before the 10th, I'll be back up to steam!

@BrianGeller A rewrite for the TCOAAL book? Nah, I'm quite content with TCOAAL's direction. Burn me out? Yes, because I need the mental exhaustion to actually have my remaining brain cells work.

I don't really posts like these often (or ask questions like these often) since I always believed that I don't want to go down that road where I do requests and get side-tracked really bad, but what series/franchises would you guys like me to cover in the future?

I probably should've announced this, but the discord link for the server is up (it's on my About Me)! The server itself has had four years of activity and no purpose until now. So, I cleaned it up, made some new channels, and archived older conversations as if it were brand new!
