Sorry, I'm a bit busy. I had two hobbies before I got a job. Writing here, and developing AI. I hit a wall here with the new changeling episode, but in my AI development, I found a highway.

Look at my AI! My AI is amazing!

Well, actually, that's its input. I need to learn TensorFlow enough to define GPU ops before I can get the actual AI running.

Just letting you guys know I nearly redid the entire last chapter because of a few complaints I got. (In case re-publishing didn't work.) They were definitely valid, even if I didn't agree 100% with the reasoning behind them, and now I think my story's much better because of the changes I made.

Keep up the constructive criticism!

Hello guys. Here's part of what I've been doing while I've been rewriting my main story:

Clouds are cool. They're also good for turbulence when traveling through fluids, or have random objects block light, which is useful to have if I want to have a general AI/robotics prototyping system with different power sources (like sunlight, wood, etc.) Also, that same algorithm is good for generating landscapes.

I've actually been thinking of adding some collaboration into 'The New Hive' since its inception. I can't really create a realistic representation of humanity all by myself after all.

I know there are a lot of problems with collaborations, the worst being people saying, "No, that didn't happen." However, I think I've added some pretty strong safeguards for anything anyone could think of. That said, I'd much rather not have people trying to derail my story, thank you very much.

So, my next chapter's done. Just need to wait for editors to do their thing. And from what I can see from the first editor, I made quite a few mistakes.

Well, now I have guilt-free free time... What should I do... Hmm...

Just kidding.

Welp, I uploaded the next chapter. Have fun!

It's weird, even after so long, I still feel like I know the personalities of all my characters very well. I suppose it helps that I reread my story, but still, I normally forget everything I learned 10 months ago.

Oh yeah, to be perfectly honest, I had a nearly complete chapter saved in google docs. It didn't really feel right though, so once I looked at it again, I changed a couple major parts.

Hey guys. Sorry about the wait for the next chapter. i said it was going to be a long one...

Unfortunately, I lost some of my files, which slowed things down.

In a way though, it also sped things up: for example, instead of creating a map for areas, I could just write down the important details about them...

Like the changeling cave not having stalactites and stalagmites... which I noticed I mentioned twice later in that same chapter... go me.

Well, this is gonna be a bit of work...

Y'see, one of the other reasons why I suddenly stopped working on "The New Hive", in addition to DnD and sheer procrastinating, was the incredible amount of detail it started racking up. I needed a system, but I...

Okay, so you're probably wondering why I was gone for so long. There is the chance you forgot about me and forgot to unfollow, but I hope it's the former.

A lot of you were probably wondering why I haven't been on Fimfiction for a while...

Well, unfortunately, I've been whisked away on a surprise vacation. I totally didn't have any choice in the thing, and couldn't have accessed the internet there... definitely. (That's a thing, right? Not being able to access the internet on vacations? I mean, i was in New York, not the wilderness, but there's just something 'internet blocking' about vacations.)
