Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I have been starting work on a new story. Let's get started!

I want to begin by crediting my overall idea to TheMajorTechie with his story, "Let's Write a Story," and someone on the FimFiction Discord whom I saddly cannot give proper credit because I can't find the post that inspired me. Since this is a comment driven story, spoilers are ahead.

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I updated the prologue for A Tale of Two Worlds. Let's get started.

This change marks a transition in my time here. I placed the story on hold to write a few shorter stories and learn even more. Stryker has also started ahead with a sequel to the original role play which may or may not get novelized.

First of all, it's almost ready. For some unspecified-for-now reason, Dr. Stone finds himself in a curvature in space-time without the whole planet getting crunched. I've been posting the physics problem like so:
