If it weren't for the fear of AO3 shutting down out of nowhere due to the current state of the US government, I feel like I would've deleted my Wattpad account by now. The layout sucks, cover art is made low quality without my input, and ads are EVERYWHERE. The only notifications I get nowadays are automated messages telling me to buy a premium currency I don't want or care about. Don't even get me started on the awful tagging system and how barebones it is.

Sorry that the Wattpad version of Chapter 6 for ARMS: TSAI is taking a while. I only now remembered to post it here, but now Wattpad is being a pain in my ass by not saving a simple COPY AND PASTE from google docs. If this problem persists then I'm probably gonna have to post it and other chapters in another book.

Using Windows to type stuff is weird as hell

Due to recent events in USA politics, I should probably address what I plan on doing with my fanfics. Since a certain fascist plans on making Project 2025 a reality, there is a genuine possibility that AO3 and possibly even Wattpad might get shut down due to both sites hosting content that contains Queer themes and/or NSFW. However I'm not gonna stop writing fanfics even if the sites do get shut down. Today I have started the long and tedious process of copy and pasting my Wattpad fanfics and drafts onto Google Documents so they can stay archived. It's gonna be a pain in the butt to edit them (especially the OC collection), but I'd rather suffer in Docs then not be able to write my aus ever again. If either my Wattpad or AO3 accounts get shut down, you can find me on Tumblr (@/petrock42clone).

Wow, it's almost been a full month since 2024 began. Guess I should update ya'll with what I've been doing and maybe even drop the links to where I've been
          
          Starting with ARMS:TSAI, I still plan on making it's rewrite but It's gonna take a while due to me not being as big of a fan of ARMS as I used to be. I still like the game, but it's difficult to get back into the game when I'm busy and my copy constantly crashes on occasion.
          
          The Underground Circuit AU for Punch-Out has been temporarily shelved due to me not really knowing where the story will go. I might return to it in the future if I ever have any ideas, but I won't be touching it for a while.
          
          While on the topic of Punch-Out, Inspection Day at the WVBA might actually have it's first chapter posted soon if I can finish drafting out the plot. Be warned though, originally it was meant to be a crack fic but what I have in mind makes me think it'll be weirdly serious.
          
          Now for MLP and by extension The Muffins Saga. LIAP is still happening but due to the first chapter being over 3000 words long I might have to cut it up into two parts. I've also recently started working on an unofficial ending The Muffins Saga which I'll be posting soon.
          
          I'd say that's about it, but if you wanna know where you can find me, I now use AO3 and Tumblr so here are the links if you're interested:

Been a while since I used this site. Don't worry I'm not dead, I just decided to mostly use AO3 from now on. May as well get some things out of the way.
          
          Firstly, ARMS: The Sky Arena Incident is no longer on my Wattpad account. No it's not canceled, but I'm in the process of rewriting the story so I decided to make the original unavailable. However if you want to read the original I have it up on my  AO3. It'll be a while until I get back to the story though 'cause I'm busy with other things.
          
          Recently I've started work on a rewrite (I guess idk anymore) of the mlp grimdark Muffins. Or at least it was a rewrite but after I removed Derpy and Minkie/Maud I have no idea what this is anymore. I won't spoil much but a lot of stuff will be at least heavily inspired by Muffins.
          
          And finally, what happened to the Underground Circuit AU? Like ARMS: TSAI, the story is not canceled. However I posted the prologue long before I had a proper idea of what the story would be like. So until I can put together a proper story I have put the Underground Circuit on indefinite hiatus.
          
          Any other projects are either canceled or were just ideas I never went through with. After this post any, I probably won't be making any updates here so I guess this might be my last post on the conversations board. If you wanna see my AO3 account, my username is AxolKat42.

I'm honestly thinking about writing Alisa out of ARMS: TSAI, looking back I honestly feel as though her inclusion was a bit forced. I likely wont scrap her completely (I might just use her for a sequel or something) but I'm probably gonna remove her (possibly give her a complete rewrite and redesign since the shipping in specific chapters was also pretty forced) once I finally post chapter 1 of that Punch-Out fic I've been working on.

What would you guys think of if I made an unofficial rewrite of the MLP Grimdark Muffins? I just recently started actually reading the series (long before I learned about what the original writer had done) and although the story was alright I felt as though it could've been better. I also wanted to make a version of the story that aligned a bit more with the canon of G4 (IE the appearance of Maud Pie, the personalities lining up with their canon counterparts, etc). If ARMS: TSAI isn't updated in about a month or so, you'll know why.

I'm honestly thinking about moving to AO3
          I just haven't had much of a reason to use Wattpad recently outside of using it for drafts
          I don't plan on deleting my account (unsure if I should move some of my posts over to AO3 like my ARMS Fanon book) but I probably won't be using it to post as often outside of making my fanfics more accessible

I'm gonna let you guys know right now the next chapter after chapter 22 of ARMS: TSAI will likely just be filler before chapter 24
