@SpartaofGreece
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 Thank you for your understanding! I'm sorry if I held up your production! :(
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!
(Except the sequels for Star Wars, we don't talk about...those movies.)
@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
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
@ImaginationStudios8 No worries! But I can assure you every story I write is in my own words, and I appreciate the offer for the chapter art! I don't ask artists because I'd be concerned that I was either bothering or pressuring them! I do realize that A.I actively curates its algorithms to steal from creators like us, but I really cannot stop/prevent that from occurring. Whatever image individuals paint from me is also not my concern or something I can really prevent. People's perceptions of others and their judgments are like bananas, plenty in the bunch, but only a few are worth the time. I am open to any artist wanting to contribute art in any way they want to for my stories, but I am deeply saddened that A.I is becoming indistinguishable from people's own works, I am one of those who wishes it would be dissolved by now, but it's the same perception I have for A.I as I would a human user taking my works for their own, I will pursue it if it becomes an issue, but I cannot survey the entire internet to make sure my works are not plagiarized, on the bright side; they're getting some exposure if they are somewhere out there, since I do know there are sites out there that do procure people's stories to repost! :D
@SpartaofGreece ...You do realize that ai generated slop steals from artists and writers, right? Commission fees are at least better compared to not only wasting water but stealing from others. I'm glad it's just a test, but do keep that in mind, it's harmful for others and can paint an image to your readers that you don't care about your work, hell it might make others think you generated your story altogether. Next time, I suggest either editing the cover yourself, or asking an artist. I mean hey, I would've drawn a cover art for free if you asked, not every artist charges fees for that ^^
The new chapter of "A Game of Cat and Fox" has been released! I hope all is well with you and yours! Spring is finally here! :D
Fanfiction idea: Gumball repays his student loans
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!

@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
Greetings everyone! It's been a hot minute since the last story update of "A Game of Cat and Fox", but I am happy to say another installment is here!
I hope you are all well, and I hope this next chapter was worth the wait!
Be safe, be kind, and have fun!
@7074L174R14N I have been rather lenient on my part in regards to chapters (mostly to prevent writer's block), but hey! At least you're not alone there...multitudes of people are in debt these days, glad to hear from you again!
In other news, the next chapter of "A Game of Cat and Fox" is nearing completion! The wait has been long since the last update, and I apologize, but I have remained active in reading other works, and have even gained some rejuvenated energy and inspiration in my own works from you all!
With the return of the newest contemporary iteration of Gumball in "The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball", it has also brought me back to include more in my own storylines and further deepen the lore!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day, wherever you may be!
Please, especially in these crazy times in our world, be safe, be kind, and have fun!
Life is too short to be angry and bitter with one another!
Hello everyone, this is not one of my usual posts, but I feel as though it needs to be said. It's a string of events that has transpired over the years, and frankly, it has become exhausting to always see these petulant and petty things occur on this platform.
With recent events with my friend @Tawogdude_247, it's frankly become a trend of shunning and ostracizing others for a simple difference of opinion/views, that spirals into an arbitrary drama/argument.
As far as I've known Jay, he's been nothing but kind and courteous to me, along with being respectful to others.
It's reminded me again, especially in this instance as people, whatever views and opinions we have, it shouldn't fracture friendships and the people they bring together. I can say here, no matter what your beliefs, convictions, and whatever walk of life you come from, you're all welcome!
As someone who has friends from all walks of life, ethnically, racially, politically, spiritually, it shouldn't be the cause to have a relationship and friendship splinter.
Frankly, this behavior has been rampant on this platform, in particular in regards to drama over tiny disagreements, simply because someone doesn't hold the same beliefs on a topic. It's exhausting to see this behavior happening every few months, especially as an author and reader trying to simply see others connect and interact over common interests and hobbies.
As human beings, we need to recognize that not every aspect of social issues is going to be agreed upon, and that's okay! But condemning and even encouraging followers on a page to attack another over something that should have remained private in the first place, is just infuriating to see recurring on this platform.
In closing, I would like to say, we need to learn to not be so aggressive and abrasive in our judgment of others, especially with this mob mentality/method of attacking others without provocation.
Very mature, and I completely agree. As I said, I prefer to keep politics out of this. At the end of the day, we're here to write stories, read stories, and just have a good time.
@SpartaofGreece and that's how it's supposed to be, we have no room to judge someone just because of their political views unless they are actually going into it, if not leave it out
