Having realized that Gumball and Star Wars have anniversaries/days a day apart from each other, I thought it was pretty nifty! Anyways, happy anniversary to two IP's that are near and dear to my heart!

@OneFicWonder That was actually my very first time writing a fic! It's very short, but there's never any rush to read anything from me! :D

Hi Sparta! I'm currently planning some of my AGOCAF spin-off and I just wanted to check something with you about the lore of New Haven. Can people still die in New Haven or is it impossible since it's already part of the afterlife?

OneFicWonder

@SpartaofGreece That sounds like you have a great plan! 
            Also I love how you focus on having a chapter that's a "digestible length" meanwhile there's me and Grand Cero, who write chapters that always go well over 10k words! To be honest, I don't mind reading long chapters, but I know others may not feel the same. Frankly, the sweet spot for me is anywhere between 4K - 15k words when it comes to having time to read it (but I know that isn't the case for everyone, hence why you're careful with how long yours are.) One thing I do want to make sure though, is that you aren't forcing yourself to cut down on how many words you use just so you can fit it all into that 3-4K word count, because (in my eyes) the word count is always secondary to the narrative of the chapter. I really hope that you aren't too fixated on maintaining that average instead of just writing out the story you want to tell.
            Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter!

@OneFicWonder Actually coming along nicely! I am enjoying the pacing of not rushing it, and allowing myself to construct the chapter bit by bit each day! I used to be doing this every other day and week, until I got really burnt out and started to resent and dread writing. That's when I sat back, reevaluated, and picked out my own pacing and world building. A word of advice I will always give: Never let others influence your creative process! Always follow your heart and do what makes you feel comfortable! 
            
            Granted, I know the schedule of uploads is... erratic, but I really want to make this story a project where I can have the pacing flow nicely and have something that you guys can read comfortably! Each chapter is averaging around 3-4K words, which I feel is a digestible length for the readers since I don't want to overwhelm everyone too much! But thank you so much for your interest! I'm glad to hear you like the story! :D

Hi Sparta! I have a small question for you regarding the lore of AGOCAF. Do Jake and Jennifer have surnames or do New Haven residents just not have family surnames at all? Just wondering because I'm planning out some of the things in the spin-off fic I'm making and I wanna make sure I don't mess anything up.

OneFicWonder

@SpartaofGreece That's completely okay! I'll see if I can find ways to work around it.

Um hey Sparta, I saw you have an AI generated cover art for one of your stories. Is there a reason why you used slop? Usually you edit stuff together so I'm rather confused

SpartaofGreece

@7074L174R14N Yeah, not a big fan of A.I either just experimented a little. Hopefully the A.I craze drifts over and is just a temporary contemporary technology, rather than the future. Glad to see you are still around!

@SpartaofGreece Damn AI slop really gets people worked up, huh? With good reason though.

Hey everyone! Just dropping by to say that I have added, in coinciding with OneFicWonder's wonderful idea, to have the Vacation continuity and playlist officially placed on this page! In the playlist you will find subsequent content relating to the Vacation AU, and the creations of the wonderful people who have added to this measly little AU of mine! 
          
          I never thought or even conceived it would get this far when it started as a little passion project of mine, to show appreciation for a show that brought, and continues to bring many smiles, laughs, and thoughts about that wonderful little town in California: Elmore. 
          
          To the future of this page, and to all that have read, commented, or even felt inspired by any of the ramblings and adventures that were put from mind to page...thank you all, truly.
          
          As for Game of Cat and Fox? Stay tuned, there is more to come with the spring thaw ahead of us! ;)
          
          Be safe, be kind, and have fun! 
          
          -Sparta

@SpartaofGreece Glad to see it all here! You might also wanna add Dinnertime Drama unless you don't consider that oneshot canon. Just saying incase you forgot about it!

Hi there, Sparta. It's been a while since I saw your comment on my profile. I haven't been around the TAWOG fandom for a while due to life going on and other things, as I have migrated to a new show called SMG4 whilst experiencing prolonged writer and artist burnout. Nonetheless, I still wish to work on my TAWOG stories anyway. Considering you loved The Earthquake and The Illness, and want more story on The Dimensions, I will definitely work on rewriting those someday.
          Your TAWOG stories are very fascinating, and I may read them someday whilst offering my opinions and criticism. I'm mostly excited to read A Game of Cat and Fox as I am now indulging into mature stories at my adult age and even writing a personal 18+ story based on the new show I'm into.
          I hope your day is doing well. Stay safe out there, Sparta. :)

@SheDemonAndrea Thank you so much for the kind comment Andrea! It has been a hot minute since I published the comment, but I do remember thoroughly enjoying those stories, and I thank you for the compliments on my own stories! 
            
            I hope all is well with you, and I completely understand, as life can make writing especially more difficult, and the drive and passion can be lost with erratic schedules! 
            
            Best wishes! 
            
            -Sparta
