I spend far too much time playing BlazBlue. And Guilty Gear. And Dota. It's a wonder to me that i'm still able to get work done.

    Chapters you regret

    In my most recent chapter, I performed a rushed death of an underdeveloped character in an attempt to 'shake things up'.

    Don't do this. If you're comfortable with the pace your story is going at, and can set up conflicts for the future, then continue on that path.

    Unleashing my Stand: 「Shit Timezone」

    8 chapters that aren't exactly all that long, and i've already hit a problem with updating. Because my individual chapters can get done fairly quickly, one would assume that I could post them out quickly, too.

    Here's the thing.

    First Story, First Dislike.

    I knew what I was getting into, I really did. I had hoped, however, that my first endeavour would be met with feedback first, not a random dislike with no explanation as to why they felt they didn't enjoy my opening chapters.

    I am aware that crossovers are not for everyone, and i'm aware that anime is also not for everyone. It's still somewhat disappointing, nevertheless.

Unleashing my Stand: 「Shit Timezone」 · 5:48am Aug 24th, 2017

8 chapters that aren't exactly all that long, and i've already hit a problem with updating. Because my individual chapters can get done fairly quickly, one would assume that I could post them out quickly, too.

Here's the thing.

Due to the fimfiction rules that your story can only be bumped once per day, it makes my quick updates less useful. To note, I understand why they do this, and i'm not complaining about it, but it is what it is.

And because I live in the UK, and the large portion of the website's userbase seems to run on American time, i'm often up at fairly early times in the morning to post my next chapter. Now, this is actually partially my own fault, too, as my first few chapters were done in an evening where I just couldn't get to sleep, which in turn set the tempo for my next chapters since.

Now, perhaps it's a bit much to call this a 'problem', as it's entirely my own choices that lead to this, but given the timezones, most American citizens are asleep while Britain is awake, and vice-versa. Meaning that I miss out on a large oppertunity if I release a chapter in British daytime, as Americans would be sleeping, and would thus miss the update as other stories bump it down.

I don't expect anything to change for me specifically, but I felt like getting this down anyway.
