OK, SO.
          	
          	This was done legit a month ago, but life's been busy.
          	
          	Not gonna apologize, just gonna give some context.
          	
          	I had a week long religious trip. Not a pilgrimage or anything like that, but it was a lot of fun and I have some amazing new friends and learned a lot. I also got very sore after it, so I was just trying to heal.
          	
          	After that, I had two 2-3 day long trips the week immediately after that, which gave me no time to recover. They were quite some fun too, but the result of this unprecedented amount of excitement in such a sort amount of time really exhausted me.
          	
          	Anyway, soon after all that I got sick, and couldn't think of doing much else other than games, suffering, and otherwise trying and fail to make myself a new routine.
          	
          	Regardless! I have been getting back to where I want to be, but there is still much stress from life, and I get to start adulting next year as well, WOOP-DE-DO!
          	
          	... Anyways this week I have a sibling getting married, so...
          	
          	... Thanks for being patient, writing *should* be a part of my daily routine from now on, so there should be less wait between chapters, but I make zero promises, I don't do the scheduling for my life, God knocks with Oppurtunity in arm and I fly by the seat of my pants.
          	
          	Enjoy, and have a good day, once again, that's an order.
          	
          	I leave you with funny quotes, hopefully to return someday.
          	
          	“We are smarter than this thing, we should kill this thing”
          	
          	"Remember, it's not a war crime if you had fun"
          	
          	"It's not kidnapping, it's surprise adoption"

Eh, I'm bored rn, and better now then never.
          
          I'm taking a writing class :D!!!
          
          It's a lot of fun, and a great source of motivation!
          
          I have a new goal of writing 1000 words per day, so I should be able to give you guys a bunch more chapters to read of various things, and I think I have secured 1-2 proofreaders, so hopefully the quality improves too!
          
          (ex= I opened chap 1 of TLK only to immediately find 3 typos and then throughout my search find plenty more small mistakes)
          
          I also have a book series rec! If you're interseted.
          
          It's a growth-type weak-to-strong series where you're always learning new things with the MC about the characters, the world, the magic system, all while the cool (and very unique!) characters keep getting stronger and more OP (despite them getting more and more OP, there is always a new challenge, be it a new enemy they need to find out the trick to, or a new threat to run from as they get stronger)
          
          The magic system is like a video game btw, with stats, skills, classes, and a ton of cool things, but all set in a fantasy world where the magic system is well-intgrated into the society (not like some odd manga where a game becomes reality.)
          
          It's called Rune Seeker, and it is SO worth the 26 hour average book length! (I kinda wish they were 30 hour minimum...)
          
          The only other issue is that the wait is a bit... tough, on Libby, so if you are interested, make sure you get all the books on hold at once. 
          
          There are 5 out so far and a 6th coming soon.
          
          I realize I've wrote more words advertising this book series than what has been happening with me, but that should tell you just how GOOD it is!
          
          Also! Maybe if more people get it on hold, then libby will get more copies, that would be fun.
          
          Have a good day all! ;D

Not me forgetting to post TLK on Ao3 XD
          
          I know ya'll ain't as interested in it since all my other stories are pokemon and ES AUs, and that's fine, but I have big plans for it, so I would be lying saying it didn't hurt a wee bit.
          
          Anyway, I hope ya'll give it a look, even if it isn't what you normally read in terms of the world; 'cause if you like how I write things, it should still be enjoyable.

Screw it, I've been hit some recent Inspiration when it comes to life*, and so I will be posting this story now.
          
          I am also going to reinstate my one chapter a month goal, and though I may WANT a bit of extra time to build up a buffer. . . screw procrastination.
          
          Anyway, this is that story I've been really excited to share!
          
          I have a bit of behind-the-scenes polish left to do, but I think that's a good thing.
          
          Hope you enjoy, and do give me any thoughts or feedback you have, mkay? :D

A small update, I'm still working on Crystal's story, and one other.
          
          Currently I have absolutely no motivation to add to William's story, I'm sure some time in the future I'll think of a way to continue it, but today is not that day.
          
          As for the stories I DO have motivation for...
          
          Crystal's story:
          I'm trying to write a bit ahead so I have a buffer for less stress on my part if/when I try to have consistent updates, so ya'll will have to wait a little longer for that one while I plan it out and such.
          
          A new story!
          I'm still trying to figure out how to fully harness my inspiration so I can get all the work I want to do on my story done, I think having more than one story to work on at once will help, but we'll see.
          
          Details shall be withheld for now, I'm still a bit nervous to release the chapter I have on it since I have world building to do, but I'm really excited about it, and I hope you will enjoy it too.
          
          ...
          
          Ok, just one detail, I mixed three of my favorite videogame worlds together, and let's just say combining three unique world's togther is pretty hard.
          
          Anyway, I'm still figuring out how to merge them, once most of that is finished, I'll release it's first chapter, but it make take a little while since I have a lot of real-life things to do right now (not that that's a bad thing)
          
          huff, that's a lot.
          
          Take care all.

Are mental zoomies a thing? Because I think I just got the mental zoomies.
          
          Though I suppose it is almost 11 pm where I live and that IS loopy hour so it shouldn't be that surprising...

@ William2580  yeah that's right i put all au together after another story

William2580

@Dark_frost_72930 I see, Maybe you could try something like what I was doing? Where you write down a sneak peek of the AU to get it out of your head, and then you can decide later if you want to continue with it.
            
            Another tip? Try combining your ideas. Some of the AUs in my concept book weren't well thought out since I was just starting, so with a couple of those I decided to mix them together so it would have more potential as a story. (I mean even for Crystal's story I've thrown most cannon story points plus one my otheAU ideas into a blender and I still don't know what exactly is gonna come out)

Behold! A new story!
          
          I said I would work on this once I got bored of my other one, and although that isn't exactly what happened, it's close enough.
          
          I hope you enjoy the first chapter of ES AU: Crystal Decides to be Responsible! (The name is a WIP lemme know if you have any better Ideas)
