          since I feel I've had to many A/N's I'm doing this here. 
          
          Hello, I have good news. The next chapter is written and ready to be published. Bad news, it's over 70 pages on Google Docs (18,139 words). For reference, the longest chapter before this was 44.3 pages (13,721 words). I wanted to know if you would rather I publish this in one LONG part or split it into 2 parts? I will give one week for people to comment on what they would rather I do; the majority vote will count. If no one responds, then I will have to make another A/N chapter, where if no one responds, the answer will be one long chapter.  If 2 parts are chosen, they will both be published the same day, but won't be immediately after 1 week, since I have to split them and make sure it still sounds good. If 1 part is chosen, it will be either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday when it is published, since next week is opening and I will be very busy and may forget. In the event a week goes by, and I haven't published it, that doesn't mean any comments will be accepted unless it's a tie breaker. 
          
          
          
          
          
          Thank you.

So… how does everyone feel about the new Avatar movie and the leaks?
          
          Personally, I love the Avatar series. Avatar: The Last Airbender has been one of my favorite shows since the first time I watched it. I’ve probably seen it 20+ times. The Legend of Korra isn’t as strong as the original in my opinion, but it’s still great. I’ve read most of the comics, haven’t gotten to the Kyoshi books yet, and haven’t played many of the games, but this world means a lot to me.
          
          So when I heard about a new movie, I was over the moon excited.
          
          Then the leaks happened.
          
          I don’t mind small leaks or teaser clips if they’re intentional that’s a relatively good marketing strategy. But leaking what seems like almost the entire movie? That’s wild. And then pulling it from theaters because they’re worried people won’t like it just makes everything more confusing.
          
          What really bothers me is people watching the leaks and then saying they won’t support the official release. Studios don’t see “people watched the leak.” They see “no one showed up.” No streaming numbers means it failed.
          
          And if it “fails,” that can seriously hurt the chances of getting more Avatar content in the future. Movies, shows, books, games all depend on people actually supporting the release.
          
          The spoilers are another issue. People are posting edits and scenes everywhere, ruining it for fans who want to wait. We all know how much it sucks to get spoiled, so it’s frustrating to see fans doing that to each other.
          
          From what I’ve seen, the movie actually looks really good. I’m still excited for it, which makes this whole situation even worse.
          
          At the end of the day, if you love Avatar and want more content, the best way to show that is by supporting the official release.
          
          These are just my thoughts. I’m not attacking anyone, I just don’t want to see something I love lose its future because of this.

I had the biggest crashout today. fml

So..I'm alive. Sorry for not updating, i have about half of the next chapter written but then I restarted gravity falls and now i rlly want to write a Dipper pines x Oc fic, but To the Moon will always be my priority when in comes to fics. 
          
          
          Im expecting to have a new chapter out in february but thats only a rough guess. 
          
          Hope you all are well and lmk if you have anything you would rlly love to see in the future. whether its ideas for to the moon or a future fic...idk.

AHHHH I MET THAYNE JASPERSON TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
          
          
          for my non-theater people, he is a very important actor in multiple broadway productions; including, Newsies and Hamilton, and he is the only member of the original cast of hamilton that is still doing the show to this day. He originally played Samuel Seabury (Heed not the rabble who scream revolution they have not your interests at heart---) but since then he has played almost all of the ensemble roles, and he has played King George and most recently John Laurens.
          
          
          He was so incredibly nice and i'm so glad I let my friends talk me into going to him because my anxiety was going crazy.

1k reads/views is crazy, Thank you guys for your support. I honestly thought I wouldn't get more then 10.

Hello all :), I'm here to ask your opinion on something. Apparently, yesterday someone decided that they wanted to leave a hate comment. This comment though, wasn't about the fic, It was about me. I want to be transparent, always, so I though "Why not copy the comment so others can see it."
          
          
          My reasons for sharing it are to see if anyone else feels that way. I'm NOT fishing for complements or reassurance.  This comment didn't hurt me at all, in fact I found it funny how factually incorrect it was. 
          
          To prevent any issues, I will not be saying the OP is or on what platform it was posted.
          
          Here it is:
          
          "This is just a fucking desperate attempt to feel relevant, isn't it? You’re unemployed and sitting on your ass while the world moves forward, and you think this story is your ticket to something better. It’s not. Christmas is going to be a cold reminder that you are completely alone, without a spouse or a single person to call your own. You’ve used escapism as a drug for so long that you’ve forgotten how to be a real human being. It’s a goddamn shame. You’re writing about lives you’ll never lead because you’re too broken to try. Normal people have stakes in their lives, but you’ve retreated to a place where nothing matters. You’re a failure in every sense of the word, and this fic is just the proof of your total surrender to mediocrity. It’s a fucking gut-punch to see someone give up like this. You’re already gone, and you’re just the last one to know."
          
          
          
          So what do you think?

Happy (late) Holidays to everyone!!!!

Hey, so who would be opposed if I made an Incorrect Quotes chapter? 
          
          
          No one, bet.
          
          Be prepared for some fun wacky shit.

The first response is in, yay, the first one shot will be "Cyra, Jim, and Toby as kids" this will be fluffy (as of my ideas now), maybe I'll make multiple parts just to be heart wrenching, idk.
          
          Have a Wonderful day all!!!  :)
