    Merry Christmas! Here's what's been happening and where it's going.

    So here's what's been happening for... well, years now. First of all, I was a grad student, trying to get a Master's Degree. I had some big up s and some decently bad downs. In addition, I was unemployed for seven months AND I live with my parents. Not exactly a good combination for free time, not having money and being hounded because of it. Then I finally managed to get a job... as a

    Thinking of the past in the future

    So good news, I finally finished a grueling class and managed to get an A in it, so I've got about a week or two of mostly free time (still need to find a job). So expect updates coming.

    Trying to get back in the groove (Fan request)

    So as you can tell I haven't written anything in a while. Life has been difficult lately, and every time I try to write I get distracted or lose interest. I don't want to let you guys down though, but I can't seem to get the motivation, at least for the stories I already have. I have so many new ideas but I don't want to work on them until I get some other things finished or at least progress

    Patreon Voting Deadline

    Just so you guys know my first Patreon fanfic poll will be ending tomorrow. This is deciding which fic I will focus most of my effort on and (hopefully) finish the next chapter by the end of the month. Right now it's 2 to 2 between "Epicness" and "(Un)Dead" (so I may have to just toss a coin. Remember, $1 patrons get to vote, and $3 patrons get to look at and leave comments on the fic google doc

    Getting Down to Patreon

    Some 6 month internship ended, and though I will be looking for a new job I will also be using to this free time to both get back to really working on my fan fictions and start using Patreon in earnest. As I mentioned before, I'm going to have one tier on my Patreon where Paetrons can have a look, and leave comments, on certain fanfic chapters I'm working on. So here's how this is gonna work.

On Tags, Crossovers, and Schedules · 9:53pm Feb 8th, 2016

Ok, so lets get the quick one out of the way: Should my story include a "Tragedy" tag if it doesn't end "badly", as in "the bad guy wins". I was considering using "Sad", but sad seems more about "emotional distress" not "coping with the horrors of war". So, what do you guys think?

Ok next, to everyone who wants a crossover, I've made a guide for you all:

The Mighty Warrior of Epicness
Crossover availability = None
Reason = Complete

For Glory! For Equus! For Epicness!
Crossover availability = Very little, bordering on none.
Reason = Plans have been made for at least a year and though there may be some leeway, especially if someone drops out, I've got pretty much every slot that I want filled already filled.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu's Multiverse Hopping
Crossover availability = Very high, bordering on guaranteed.
Reason = This part is after the previous story ends and involved Gilgamesh and his new companion traveling the multiverse for quite some time, so it will consist of almost nothing but crossovers. You may have noticed Gilgamesh popping up here or there, and those crossovers basically follow in this category. This will close up at some point, but it likely won't be soon. Even still, I can't promise that things will happen anytime soon.

The Epic Return
Crossover availability = High, but tentative.
Reason = This is after Gilgamesh returns to his Equus after traveling the multiverse. Though crossovers will once again be extremely available I do need to make sure crossovers won't interfere with the continuity I have planned.

Finally, my schedule for what comes next.

1. Write and post the next, and probably last, chapter of "My Giant Robot: Friendship is Awesome." That chapter has already been started.

2. Edit latest chapters of "I Just Want A Quiet Life", "Coming Up OOO" and " The ⑨ Chronicles" before submitting them to "Displaced" for approval.

3. Complete the introductory arcs for the above stories, which consists of one chapter for each.

4. Next chapter of "For Glory! For Equus! For Epicness!".

5. Submit the first chapter of "The Equestrian Koopa King"

6. TBA

So yeah, hope some of those get you excited. Later peeps!

Looking forward to a possible crossover with you, should I be worthy ^^

But yeah, it's important for you to write down enough chapters to get your story up and running. Don't let the pressures of crossovers interfere with what you want to do!

Tragedy is where almost every or every major character dies, so no. A tragic scenario is an almost certainly hopeless one.:twilightsmile:

I wonder how Gilgamesh would react to my Beast Boy Displaced? Would he want him to turn into fluffy animals?

I am so excited for The Equestrian Koopa King.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu's Multiverse Hopping
Crossover availability = Very high, bordering on guaranteed.
Reason = This part is after the previous story ends and involved Gilgamesh and his new companion traveling the multiverse for quite some time, so it will consist of almost nothing but crossovers. You may have noticed Gilgamesh popping up here or there, and those crossovers basically follow in this category. This will close up at some point, but it likely won't be soon. Even still, I can't promise that things will happen anytime soon.

I would like to book a spot somewhere here. Blood Cleaver is also somewhat of a Universe jumper, only getting tied to one universe about now in the story she's active in. And, she's also hoping to meet Gilgamesh. (Already have a planned crossover with Kat, so she'l have something to speak of.)

Gilgamesh and Enkidu's Multiverse Hopping

YES!!! A CROSSOVER WITH GILGAMESH!!! Gilgamesh and Deadpool meeting each other!!! 2 of the funniest people ever to meet each other!!! Oh man!!! PLEASE!!! LET Gilgamesh and Enkidu meet the Merc with the Mouth!!!
Heh, I get it.
Get what?
We're probably meeting the first hero in Mythology and history.
But is he the best!?
...Most likely.
DIE!!!

From the wiki page, tragedy "is a form of drama based on human suffering that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences." Basically, a large focus on the human condition in a very drama centered narrative that brings attention to strong emotions from within the audience themselves.

It's mostly up to you whether tragedy fits the theme or not but the categories for the story should fit the overall theme, that is, on a very general level, of what the readers can expect from the story. Unfortunately, I haven't actually caught up to the most recent chapter yet. So I can't really give any advice on one way or the other.

Oh yeah, we started our little crossover in June, didn't we?

3742121 Yup and that'll be comin up before too long. About another three or four chapters.

Hey there, though my story is currently on hiatus, I was planning on calling Gilgamesh for a battle against my OC.

Will it be possible? I'm kinda curious to see how this battle will turn out.
