Yes, that's right I'm talking about Yu-Gi-Oh! this time around, in particular the Duel Disk system. Go online and type in "holographic duel disk" and you'll probably get a few hits on people trying to make real world hologram systems for duel disks, but that's probably going to draw more power than most of us would like, it would differently make the tournament scene look and feel like something out of the show, but for everyday duels it seems a bit of a waste of energy. The solution, at least
I've finally figured out what to use for the next chapter title. Given how the previous chapter left off on a cliffhanger steamrolling into a new section of the plot, I'd say that this one is gonna be rather fitting.
Relive your past.
1 - "Wake up." - (Draft 2)
2 - "Take a look around." - (Draft 2.1)
3 - "There's so much to see," - (Draft 1)
Finished chapter 2, rearranging the chapter names a bit to fit the chapter progression better. I'll be working on Chapter 3 tonight, and likely will post another status update on the story then.
This thing dates back to July 28, 2018 as the last time it was ever edited. It would sit around collecting dust until June of this year, when I'd ultimately toss out everything I'd written and start over from scratch.
The story below is how it appears directly copied from the Microsoft Word document. Though, for some reason, doing that also seems to place some scattered links to making a new blog post for some reason. Either way, I'm just gonna post this thing verbatim.
Second button under Pony-Me's cover art, y'all.
Or, just, y'know, grab the PDF directly if you don't wanna bother checking out my website. :P

Warning, spoiler for story contained within.
Preface: I've been expanding upon my post-secondary education for the better part of a decade.
I started getting these dreams after I graduated college. Actually, I blame my dad for putting them in my head because I didn't start getting them till he told me about his.
Catch y'all on the flipside! I'll be updating My Own Reality at the same time as Pony-Me over on Offprint! Let's see how many differences you can spot between the two versions...
Mild "holy crap the story I poured everything into is about to come to an end"-style rant coming up.
Yeah, for those (very few) people who wish to see Pony-Me but without ponies, I've been on a hiatus for around half a year now, focusing instead entirely on fleshing out the world and characters of Pony-Me to let myself have a stronger foundation for the story.
Well.
Revised and partially rewrote the first chapter, and began work on the second chapter.
Starting from the second chapter, additional plot elements not present in Pony-Me have been added for additional realism concerning the effects of the transition between an extended session of virtual reality and real life.
Chapter-by-chapter status:
"Wake up" is now on its second draft.
"Take a look around" is currently being written, and is on its first draft.
I honestly feel like this is the most awkwardly-written chapter I've ever created. I tried to maintain a sense of continuity, but at the same time since I wanted to change the story a little, ended up diving into multiple areas where things just felt... off.
Chances are that I'll probably come back to the chapter and rewrite it from scratch. I'm really not much in a rush for the My Own Reality project, since I'm still busy setting up the world and lore in the main Pony-Me story.
Let me make one thing clear, it rarely happens when somebody has a crush on another, and the second party feels the same way. That almost never happens. And I'm working on a story that deals with that reality. Call it a buzzkill, but I'm yet to see a realistic romance fic on the site. Does it seem like I'm pissed? I hope not because I have high hopes for this story and I'm a little excited for it. Just decided to share that with you all.
This post has been delayed by depression, but it's important. I need to weigh in on the controversy MrNumbers gestated.
Fun in fantasy; horrifying in reality.
First, the history.
Haha, I keep forgetting to publish stories. Sorry, I'm absent minded. I'm glad that people like MLP Different Direction. I'm still currently working on Flurryverse, despite it being 'cliche' but it's something that I enjoy writing a lot so please look into it if you get a chance.
As for any more fanfiction, I have other ideas aside from the two that I'm working on currently:
While it's still not entirely finished yet, I'm currently on the second draft of both currently-existing chapters.
Here's what I've got so far in its entirety. Keep in mind that Fimfiction tends to screw with the formatting when I copy something over from Microsoft Word.
As usual, any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
My Own Reality
Due to schoolwork and planning for some youtube videos which I've had on hold for awhile now, I'm afraid some of my lesser popular stories will be put on hiatus for the time being.
The following stories will currently be posponed:
-Paradox's Prodigy
-Digitizing Reality
Marked a few things here and there to rewrite in the original fiction, but it's not nearly as much rewriting that I need to do as with Into Equestria.
Speaking of which, I still haven't gotten started on the next chapter yet.
I'm starting to like the alternate versions of Vinyl and Octavia now. This is what sold me on them. Plus, who doesn't like the idea of a prim and proper Vinyl Scratch? I've always loved these two but when the comics showed the alternate realities and I caught a glimpse of them my mind went wild with possibilities, to the point I now like the alternate versions rather than the originals. What do you think my loyal and dedicated fans?
This is a scrapped rewrite of the section of the chapter I was working on that got partially wiped because I was being smol brain and didn't save before turning off my tablet. I rewrote it a second time in a way that I preferred over this version, so I'ma post the scrapped content here.
Spoiler alert: this snippet is relevant to Pony-Me's plot. If you're fine with potential spoilers, feel free to check it out below the break.
