Status Report : Not Dead :D
          	
          	In all seriousness, was quite literally procrastinating on writing for no reason. Sorta a thing I do every now and then until I'm eventually back in the groove.
          	
          	I do apologize for the literal Near-Month Lateness of what will soon be my Next Story (Not Out Yet as I'm writing this), but I do want to point some things out before anyone starts to complain. (Not that I'm saying you will)
          	
          	Firstly : I have this thing where I stop doing a Certain Task for an Extended Period of Time. I do it with Games, I do it with Shows, and I even do it while Reading. I do more or less pop back in for short sessions at a time, but it usually takes a while for me to "Recover", I guess. Just like how not too long ago I was late due to Stardew Valley, and now I haven't even launched the Game for nearly a Month now, despite not having gone too far into the Game. (Not even passed the Second Year ;v;)
          	Expect Pain. And lots of it. Sorry in Advance.
          	
          	Secondly : I more or less have to Rewrite a ton of things before I can even Upload a Chapter. In my Latest Story (Again, Not out yet as of Writing), I had to practically Rewrite the entire thing as I felt like I could definitely write it out a lot better than the initial draft. I am no professional, nor do I really strive to be one, but if I find something unsatisfactory, it may or may not end up with me rewriting it.
          	Pain. This time, for me.
          	
          	And, finally... Y'all are patient. I know there's only 10 of you, but I honestly expected the count to go down by at least 1. >_>
          	Thanks for sticking around, I guess. It's been, like, Half a Month, but still. :]
          	
          	I'm still not done with the "Bonus" for the Pokemon Story just yet, so look forward to that.
          	It does hold some Spoilers, such as things that were not explained in the Story, so if anybody wants it, I can also upload a "Mini" Version of it that only goes through the things that ARE in the Story.
          	Lemme know what you want. I'll be writing maybe. Until then. ;)

@Very_LucXy  like the other comments say it’s alright and I tend to procrastinate all the time as well either willingly or by forgetting to do the thing I was supposed to do it is usually the second option and like I have said before I can wait from more chapters so take your time

Hey are still alive 

Chrishtan

@AlemerAguil hey it could be worse as in it takes a year or more for you to update and even then there are absolutely worse authors out there and I have said this many times but I am alright with a update taking a long time as long as there is going to be a update even if it takes weeks or even months so take all the time you need and don't rush it as rushing anything like writing a story generally does not end with the product the author or readers/audience want so just take all the time you need author

            All I can say is, I'm the worst kind of Author. ;v;

I will take that as both "Good Luck" and "Good Lord", because my attention to writing is atrocious rn.

            Sorry if I haven't been posting, I've sorta been On and Off writing constantly, so progress has been Uber Slow.
            I've also been hopping between both stories, as well as other unpublished ones, so it's just been even slower.
            
            All in All, I am still working on Both Stories. I just can't seem to focus on one at a time at the moment. I'll eventually get back in the groove, but at least I'm making minimal progress. I'll try to keep my focus up on writing a bit more.
            
            Releases should be soon, so thank you for waiting so long, and sorry for the delay.

@Very_LucXy ...gun... a very big gun he clunks the orbs into to power it kinda like wolfwoods cross in trigun stampede also can't wait for what you cook up tho i might reread pixels again cuz 1.its fucking amazing and 2.i haven't really clicked with storys lately

Using the Orbs with Equipment is definitely an interesting idea.
            Only issue is their Size. They're sorta like a Crystal Ball, fitting his whole Hand, so they're not exactly "Implementable" logically. (I know there's literal Magic and I'm talking about Logic, but... Shhh)
            There'll definitely be more use of the Crafting Mechanic later on, but as of right now, there are 2 things lacking : Materials and Necessity.
            The MC doesn't necessarily NEED any Equipment, since he's already becoming a Powerhouse on his own. Because of this, he isn't really looking for Materials as well, although he does have a lot of Miscellaneous stuff in his Bag that he doesn't use, Water Stones being one of them.
            Speaking of Stones... the Water Stones at the Beach formed there due to Neglect of Exploration. Only a few people have been down to that Beach, and even if they were, they went into the Cave before them, not the Pocket Cave that formed beneath the Sand of the Beach. In other words, there'll probably be a Fire Stone Cave near a Volcano or something, but It'll be a bit harder to make one for Thunder Stones or Similar. Maybe in Galar, since there's Dynamax Energy that lets out a lot of what looks to be Electricity.
            
            TLDR : The Orb in itself is Too Big to put into Equipment, but there will be more Crafting in the Future. Also, MC might find more Stones in the future. We'll see.

It’s fine, take your time, I’m actually rereading the story and I have to say I love how you did the world building, something that I would like to recommend from my standpoint is the blue orb(the one that boosts water magic), why not make the mc find fire and thunder stone caves , make respective orbs, then combine the orbs with a piece of equipment (I would choose gauntlets) to make crystal equipment with the orbs efects, doesn’t even have to be those elements

Alright, it's been a good long while since I've started posting "A Pixel in the Dust", so now I have a few things I want to announce.
          
          Firstly!
          ...I'm out of Chapters. :P
          For those who don't know, I wrote each and every one of my Stories on Google Docs. Stories Plural. In other words, I've been writing this one as well as a ton of others for a good while now, some of which don't have many chapters, and others I either gave up on or lost interest in.
          So now, I provide a few Options.
          Option A : Continue Writing this One Pokemon Story into Oblivion.
          Option B : Post Other Stories I've Written and Delay a Ton.
          Option C : Write a Whole New Story Altogether. I'm up for suggestions. ;)
          And finally...
          Option D : Quit. :O (JK There IS no Option D)
          
          Anyways, it's really up to you (few) followers that I have.
          ...Well, it's up to Me, really, but I'm just up for suggestions.
          If you want, I can literally just take an Interesting Idea you guys have and try turning it into a Story if I find it equally as interesting, or if you just like my Writing Style. (I do think it is a bit off though :I )
          I'll also take suggestions for other Fanfics if you're into that. I've tried experimenting a bit with other things, but I actually quite enjoy writing Stories that have most of the Mechanics/Storylines in place for me to just tamper with.
          
          If you're too lazy to read all that, then... :L
          TL:DR - No Written Chapters for Pokemon Story, so either Wait or Tell Me to Do Something Else.
          
          Thank You for Reading! And give me Ideas. >:O (If you want)

@Very_LucXy no problem for 1. 2 make sure to take it easy cuz again nobody needs to burn out and lastly... I CANT WAIT 
Reply

Very_LucXy

@Bios_Lacrimosa Fair Point.
            That's actually what I've been doing while Writing, since after a while I'd just be like "I have an Idea" and then immediately have the urge to start writing that one.
            Also, looking back through my Old Stories, I realize... I was NOT as good of a Writer as I thought I was back then.
            They're not "Bad" Bad, but they're gonna need some SERIOUS Rework if they want to actually be decent.
            Not saying they're all bad though. I do have a few that I'll probably post soon, so look forward to that if you'd like.
            Anyways, Thanks for the Input. I'll try and get to it as soon as I can.

@Very_LucXy id say post a story that you already have chapters for to kinda spread out and so your not burning yourself out of your creative juices and running into writers block for the storys you have written and because im excited to see what else you have cooking up
Reply

Very_LucXy

Sorry if I hadn't posted in the past few days. I've been a bit distracted with a few things, Game Updates being among them.
          (Stardew Valley hits different I swear >_>)
          I'll try and keep the Chapters going for as long as I can. Only a few left until I'll have to start writing New Ones since, again, these have just been on Google Docs for a while.
          
          Also, I don't really mind it, but the "Rankings" or whatever for the Tags on "A Pixel in the Dust" have disappeared.
          I tried looking it up, and it says it's a Bug? No clue.
          (Kinda makes me feel like I'm Shadow Banned :I )
          If there's a Fix or if it'll Fix Itself then I'd like to know. I just liked seeing the Ranking go up from time to time. :]
          If not, then... Welp. :L

@Very_LucXy happy to see this series getting a update and its alright to take some time off or to take your time to make new chapters as I for one don't care if it even takes a week or more to get a  new chapter as I have even waited over 2 weeks for a new chapter for some fanfictions to come out so 5 days is not really a bad wait for more chapters but either way I hope you are having a good day and thanks for the chapter

Chrishtan

well I think your pokemon story is great so far and just so you know I have both read many stories with authors that have many works and many followers but yours is one of the better stories I have read on this site so you are doing a very good job with writing your story

Chrishtan

well I am looking forward to it

Very_LucXy

@Chrishtan
            Thank You for the Positive Note. :]
            Truth be told, the Story was completely written with no set plan in mind, so whenever I had an Idea, or felt like I should change something, I would go back and change it.
            I don't know much about how other Authors think, let alone write, but that's just how I've been doing things. I did do a bit of Polishing here and there, but most if not all of it is still true to the "Original" that I first wrote.
            Best part is, I'm also always down for suggestions for future Chapters.
            (Trust me when I say, it's not easy trying to find more Names for Skills)
            I still have a few more Chapters lined up, and a lot more planned beyond that, so I hope you continue to enjoy this little Project of mine.
