Apparently Twenty-Eighteen is eligible for the Wattys? Hell nah- I might be proud of that book but it’s not like an award winner or anything…
          
          Also I’m writing again-… Several things actually, WestPoint, DeltaRiot, UnderVerss stuff, even been thinking lately about an expansion to Year Zero? If Year Zero gets anything more it’ll likely just be maybe a couple oneshots
          
          You guys wanna see anything in specific from me? Probably just talking to the wind rn but I’m curious

WestPoint Character themes (because why not)
          
          Larz - Don’t Let It Go (Cyborg9k)
          Rinn -  Cats, Dogs, & Rats (Rare Americans)
          Verra/Sirus - How I Survived Bobby Mackey’s Personal Hell (Lincoln)
          Luth - revisited (WillyRodriguezWasTaken)
          Orion - I Can’t Handle Change (Roar)
          
          (also uh, I guess I’ll do Twenty-Eighteens’ cast too, since they’re connected)
          
          Corve - loser monologue (sign crushes motorist)
          Ren - Death Cup (Mom Jeans.)
          Tyler - Out Getting Ribs (King Krule)
          Fin - easy (waveform*)
          [Abel doesn’t get one, sorry Goat]

With the completion of Twenty-Eighteen and start of WestPoint, I took a look back at some of my prior works over the last year or two, and I wanted to give my honest thoughts looking back at some of these-… Idk, perhaps out of sheer boredom or a longing to improve my writing-
          
          Year Zero Quietus - A personal reimagining of the story told within NiN’s Year Zero album, using old OCs I had made from early High School lol, and they fit in my story surprisingly well, I like how Quietus turned out all things considered, i think I went a little hardcore edgy in a few places, but generally, me making this as a pseudo-callout of my past nihilistic worldview, mirroring some of that behavior of myself- while at the same time, “Killing” that worldview, was very personal to me… I think it’s fine enough— I like it, but… Some of the edginess makes it hard for me to look back on-
          
          (Short Stories) DustTrust Hysteria / Penance Unforgiven / Jeff… / Stars Adrift - 2/4 of these actually got finished, Hysteria and Unforgiven… Other two are… In development hell, especially Jeff…. Expect that one to maybe be taken down, as I have reached a mental block with that one… But Stars Adrift, I could see me coming back to that one and wrapping it up with 3 or 4 chapters more… Just wait for me to get back in that Gravity Falls mood lol- But no I liked making short stories- gave me some leniency and I didn’t feel as if I had to zoom these ones out and could take my time… Expect me to eventually drop some more short story stuff lol, I enjoy it-…
          
          UnderVerse (in general) - I loved making Depths and Collapse, so much fun finally getting to write fanfiction for probably my second favorite fictional -verse, and promise that something will come out eventually, maybe not Cataclysm itself soon- sorta Locked on that front, but I still want to write for UnderVerse and write a proper conclusion… Perhaps a book on “The End” of my AlphaTale Take?.. Who knows-

Dear Diary…. i…
          
          I don’t know why I’m doing entries in this thing anymore…
          
          Haven’t written in this thing since I was a little owlet, but… I don’t know, part of me is calling to do something worthwhile in these apartments… Sure working at a coffee shop is nice, and keeps the bills paid… But… I don’t know, I yearn to escape this place… But the more I think about it the more I realize how… I know so much about everyone in these apartments….
          
          Yet… Do any of them truly know me?… Seeing someone’s traits from a distance only gives you a glimpse into them…. You don’t…. Actually know them in any meaningful way… So whats to say… Anyone in this complex even knows me?… Would you even want them to know that much?….
          
          Okay, enough of that… I think I’m gonna stop doing entries like this… You’re better at writing stories and not about yourself heheh, so just cut the crap here and get back to it….
          
          ….. Still pissed about that Grotto Beasts Thing though-
          
          
          
          [WESTPOINT] - Chapter 1 is out! Available to read :3
          
          - Shroud

Dear Diary,
          
          Ahem, uh… This is take 2… Of that poor attempt I made yesterday….
          
          The Komodo Dragon and Crocodile next door offered to uh… Help me get out of the apartments for a change, but… I don’t know… Why would I go with “them” of all critters on this block? Everyone knows their relationship is boiling over, why would I when I can stay in my room and mind my own business? Come back when you two are in a better mental state….. And maybe uh… Be a little more quieter at nights… Some animals try to sleep here in Westpoint-… No offense, keep that up and I might write a chapter about y’all in my fanfiction teehee… Did you just write teehee in your diary I….. Why am I writing about fanfiction in my diary?! 
          
          Mrm… Nevermind what else - what else… Luth is still living here too… He’s… Uh… That Sheep… It’s funny, I think he’s the only one who after my years of onlooking those around me, he’s the one I have respect for… Helps me with uh, food… I don’t know he drops by fast food sometimes, because he doesn’t eat much… I don’t know, there’s nothing to write about with him! He’s… Normal… Really normal-… He’s sweet all things considered… Just wish I had a read on him like everyone else in this shitty apartment complex…… Hope he finds happiness somewhere all things considered… Even The happiest faces might have some darkness…
          
          …. That was a good one-liner I’m writing that one down… Again

Dear Diary, 
          
          Can’t believe I’m doing this again-
          
          But… I had to talk about that new guy… That new Cat is.. Nice… I guess…. I looked up his last name online… “Devons”… He couldn’t be related to that murder case down in Nebraska could he?… Pffft, don’t be silly… If he was THAT Devons, then the cops would definitely have eyes on WestPoint… Or The Rut as a whole… Plus this is Missouri, Nebraskas like, aways away… But if you are, I’m gonna totally become one of those True Crime YouTubers and interview him-… Either way, He’s a musician or something?… I don’t know-… I’m not the kind of gal to start conversations with people I don’t know- 
          
          OH- and don’t even get me started on that Rat Nextdoor, I’m pretty sure that Rat across my floor is trying to sell me fake Grotto Beasts cards… I don’t even collect Grotto Beasts cards, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT GROTTO BEASTS CARDS?! Go back to scamming old folks, at least you weren’t interrupting my life…… Like I don’t care if your chain is solid gold! No one cares! Especially not me-
          
          ……  Sorry I got a little carried away, uh, End of Entry, OwlAfterDark out-…
          
          … This is your diary Orion why are you-… You always do this… Ugh, Forget it-

It’s not a XxSilverShroudxX book unless there’s an LGBTQ+ character in it- 
          
          Maybe thats a little bit of myself peaking into my stories, i ain’t sure
          
          … Oh right this is an update for my log uh, yeah I’m writing occasionally- Another story kinda like Twenty-Eighteen is getting worked on, cool beans
          
          - Shroud

With the end of Twenty-Eighteen, I’m now working on a similar project to Twenty-Eighteen, consider it a slight spin-off and technical sequel but not really because it’s entirely different lmfao
          
          I’ll give some updates as progress proceeds on it i just wanted to announce that it’s now officially in the works :)
          
          - Shroud

Couldn’t go to bed tonight, but as I laid in bed I felt all the words I needed to finally finish Twenty-Eighteen come to me…. 
          
          I’ve been holding back on writing it so long now, with how rough these past few months have been, I’ve been stopping myself from working on this story because it’s so emotionally draining but, in my life right now I felt the words come to me and just wrote them out for the final Twenty-Eighteen chapter
          
          This story really means a lot to me, and I’m glad I wrote it, even if truly no one will probably read it, I’m glad I wrote it… 
          
          Don’t know what the future holds for my writing here but I can say there will be one, I never leave forever when it comes to writing on Wattpad lol- 
          
          Love you guys that stick around and read my atuff

Hey All, Happy Late New Years! Just wanted to give a lil update as writing commences, got a lot of writing and stuff done last year, and am hoping to have even more this year! 
          
          Twenty-Eighteen is still getting finished, hell it’s actually gotten quite a bit of the last chapter written, but whether it be lack of motivation or lack of traction or some other third thing, whatever, I’m holding off on it for just a tad, it’ll probably get uploaded before February, early to mid-January, just so y’all know
          
          BUT, new story dropped, a Rain World Fanfic actually, it’ll be a short form one like Penance Unforgiven, only 5 chapters but it’ll be covering the entire Artificer campaign ^^ for Y’know, the year starter
          
          Got a lot of cool stuff planned for this year, both for original stuff and for Fanfics- also, hope y’all dig the Koey PFP- ^^ Happy 2026
