i'm sure you notice the parentheses at the start of every chapter title, i'm gonna make a guide in chapter one

BUT mostly i'm just bored today and i have some WIPs to work on but one of them i accidentally forgot to save so yay starting over, very fun, i need to work up the motivation to do that (i mean, it's not the worst, i now know where i'm going with it so that's nice)

there may be more notes like this in the future but i don't like when authors do this in the middle of a book so probably not many

but this isn't really a fic so i don't feel as guilty about it so there's that

hey let's play a game, anyone up for that? it's very simple. it's more like a survey but hey, details. i'll just write some questions and give you my answers and you can answer in the comments

1. What SMPs do you watch?
My Answer: i watch empires, hermitcraft, some origins, and a bit of the dream smp, although i don't really know a LOT of people. I mostly know the dsmp from animatics/fanfics/clips channels tbh. i'm kind of obsessed with empires at the moment, so that's why i'm always talking about it. i also watched third life, although i never got into last life- i do know the basic storylines/alliances but i didn't watch very much of it.

2. Who are your favorite hermits/ccs?
My Answer: Favorite cc is definitely Smajor, Grian second, but there are a lot of other people I watch consistently. i would say my favorites in general are Wilbur, Phil, Ranboo, Gem, Scar, fWhip, and Cleo.

3. Do you watch many ccs?
My Answer: Yes, definitely, I could list them all and... yeah I will one day, definitely. Short answer: yes.

4. Do you read a lot of fanfic?
My Answer: I would say yes, not as much as I did in the height of my obsession but definitely yeah. I mostly read on Ao3 now apart from a few fics that I'm "subscribed to" on Wattpadd that I check back for, and I like to check out interesting-looking things if I see them Recap, but I just much prefer the easy, clear system on Ao3.

5. Do you actually play Minecraft, and if yes, how much?
My Answer: I actually do, I have a ton of different versions of it and I play a lot on Pocket Edition, but I do play Java quite a bit and Bedrock every so often, usually with friends.

I don't actually know who I'm expecting to read this, because I wouldn't, but if you are, you can be rewarded with info about my WIPs (mostly so that I feel obliged to actually finish them).

[Unnamed - Empires] It's been two months since Scott ran away into self-exile and the other rulers can't find him. They've given up on finding him... except for two. Jimmy and Gem refuse to give up on their friend and they will find him no matter what.

[Unnamed - DSMP?] Not actually related to any SMP, it's purely self-indulgent Philza whump about him being captured by hybrid traffickers.

[Pirate AU] - No fic ideas for this yet, but this once again comes from my friend who has inspired me, I just need to finish a couple details and then I can post it for you to see.

[Unnamed - DSMP] Dream is up to his old, manipulative ways, this time with Revivedbur. (Basically Dream abuses Revivedbur like he did Tommy because reasons) I think I might make this one an actual multichapter fic, I'm a little hesitatant to because I don't have the best track record when it comes to finishing these things [*cough* EWTRTW *cough*], but I think I will.

that is all for today! i will be back later with some sort of update (probably today with the pirate AU and the welcome page for this book (and maybe the Wilbur fic?)) so maybe see you then.

later edit: oh hey, we hit 2K! TY guys!!!
