Hey, its been a while.
Last time I posted an update was February 6th, and in that time I've done a few things.
Hey, its been a while.
Last time I posted an update was February 6th, and in that time I've done a few things.
I actually finished it up a week ago. Just didn't get around to putting up on FimFic until now. It won't be released to the public until after I finish the prior two chapters.
Anyways, back to writing for me.
Welcome one and all to the year 2024! Lets hope its better than the last.
...
Eh, who am I kidding? It's a presidential election year here in the states. With the current state of US politics, it'll be all downhill until November lmao. But enough of that, allow me to become slightly egotistical for a moment and talk about me!
The State of the Empire (or, "The Crystal Human" in 2024)
This is part of the reason why Chapter Seventeen is taking so long. Well, that and procrastination on my part. Ignore the last tab. That was just me getting a little distracted lmao.
Just as the title says, we've finished most of the big projects when it comes to renovating the new house, and I've finally found enough time to start working on the story semi-consistently again. I'm not ready to take out of hiatus just yet, but we're getting there.
Chapter Seventeen is nowhere near finished, but I wanna share a little snippet of what I have so far with you guys to prove I didn't die during my near month long absence.
So how did you guys find this funny little story of mine? I know I can always check the referrals tab under the statistics and see where people came from through direct links, but I wanna hear it from the horses mouth.
Did you find it on the featured list? Did a friend recommend it to you? Was it added to a group you were in, and you decided to check it out? Was it none of the above? Tell me, or I will never return from hiatus.
Title says it all, really. I'm putting the story on hiatus for now. I don't know how long this hiatus will last, just that "The Crystal Human" most likely won't see a new chapter until after the end of October. I might have a new chapter ready for November first, or it may not see an update until after the new year comes around. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
While I only have "The Crystal Human" planned out to the end of Season Four, I do have some ideas for what Jackson may do during the Season Five finale. One of those is getting thrown through different timelines like Twilight and Starlight, though the ones he gets stuck in are a bit different. Possibly even familiar to frequent users of this site.
So seriously, in fact, that I even went to the place I am currently writing about.
Yup. This is totally, 100% legitimately me in The Crystal Empire
I meant to include this one in the previous post I made about my story ideas earlier this month, but I just never did. And I'm also gonna bother everyone who made the mistake of putting "The Crystal Human" in their bookshelves since it directly concerns my ongoing project.
Chapter Fifteen is going to have a noticeably different tone than the rest of the dream chapters so far. It's mostly going to be towards the beginning of the chapter, and we will continue towards more "regularly scheduled programming" with the next few dream chapters. It'll most likely be more of a one-off thing than a permanent change.
Hopefully it won't be too jarring.
Also Chapter Fifteen will release at some point this week. Still need to finish editing it lmao.
Sincerely me,
This time concerning Jackson’s view on the history of humanity.
Chapter Fifteen is going okay so far. It's a bit all over the place rn, especially in the first thousand words, but I'll hopefully be able to clean that up a bit before final release.
Yes. You read that right. Fifteen. Fourteen is going to be a short chapter, and has already been written for a while now. I'm just holding off on uploading it for now.
With all of that said, here’s the snippet. This chapter draft has three offical titles:
Meeting the Sun / Welcome to the Internet / Equish 101
(Luna's POV)
"Are you certain, Tia?"
Just gotta edit it and finally decide on a title. Snuck in a few more language barrier shenanigans towards the end as well. Should be out either later today or sometime tomorrow.
2,873 words so far. Includes the backstory behind Jackson's box cutter (exciting, I know) and a little bit of Bible talk. Also, Jack takes a shower.
I feel like an idiot lmao.
Time to edit some old chapters!
Ready for another dream chapter where I completely ignore the most interesting part of my own story yet again?
Well, that's good if your into that stuff. Cause in the next chapter, The Park Is Open.
So I finally got around to categorizing all of my various story ideas in a single google doc, and I decided that I would share some of them with you guys. Consider this compensation for not giving you guys a Fireside Chat with the last chapter.
The total number of ideas is 23.
Not all of these are HiE, btw.
Welcome to the sixth Fireside Chat, the series of blog posts where I talk about my story “The Crystal Human”, because apparently getting you people to read the story in the first place isn’t enough for me. This is all about chapter eight, so make sure to read that chapter before reading this blog post.
I don’t have a “haha funny” intro bit for today, so let’s get straight into…
