Hey you guys!
I have some bad news that I should have shared a while back.
Unwanted Dreams and Desires has to go on a little vacation… I'm really sorry about that.
To make a long story short: One day, my cousins decided to come over to our house. Remember how I said that I already had all five chapters more or so done?
Well, one of my younger cousins decided to mess around with the computer. Unfortunately, for me that mean that she erased all of the chapters I had written for the battle scene. (Thank goodness she didn't delete the beginning chapters! I saw what she was doing and I managed to salvage the chapters I have due to a USB drive. Thank goodness I decided to use a USB drive to save the chapters I have uploaded).
All of the work that I was going to post up has been deleted. Five long chapters are gone now… You can imagine the frustration that I had when I couldn't yell at a five year old.
Basically, this means that it is going on hiatus until the summer months. I really truly am sorry! I'm sorry that I have to announce this!
Because I am so sad, I keep writing one-shots… Those are only to cheer myself up. They are slowly starting to perk me up and getting me out of this funk. (My cousin erased the chapters before I posted Sword Arc or A Change in Partners.) I really do hate doing this to you guys.
And to think that we were getting to the nitty gritty parts of the story. Do you guys remember when the intros used to be like this?
"She crawled near him and tried to deflect his attack but she was too weak. He was fighting for her and she wished it would stop. When his attack hit, it hurt as it had directly attacked her soul. When she felt the pain that came over the attack, she yelled a bloodcurdling scream that had him rushing to her side. Her eyes began to close. She was about to take her last breath when his lips crashed upon her mouth. She silently thanked him for leaving her with a nice memory and then she blacked out."
One week and a half: 13 hours: 04 minutes
I can't believe I went from that to:
She sees herself falling, deeper, and she doesn't know why. Suddenly, she sees a puff of white hair and red eyes. At first, she's filled with relief that he is okay. She is overjoyed, and hugs him and breaks off for a kiss. After they kiss, she blushes and looks down at the ground. She starts to speak of things they should do, when suddenly she feels something completely wrong. He asks what's wrong and hugs her. She asks him to let go off her and when he does, the smile spread across his face is completely wrong. Suddenly, she feels the change in wavelengths and calls herself an idiot for not noticing before that the wavelength didn't belong to him. He suddenly grabs her, and reaches for her neck where he begins to choke her. He begins to laugh a malevolent laughter and soon begins to shape shift into someone she knows. She tries to scream but it only makes his vice-like grip even tighter. She manages to choke out her Demon Weapon's name when he places a finger to his lips. She blacks out and once again, she is falling… She thought he would always be there and it turned out he never was…
One week: 18 hours
The ones that I had were WAY longer too. I'm pretty sure that you guys noticed it a long time ago but those are like short little snaps of the battle! Now in order to accommodate the intros, the ones my cousin deleted were much longer and more complex. I guess for the most part all I can do is apologize now. I guess there are a couple of things that you can do now.
Re-read the story. I plan on editing the entire story for any grammar and spelling. I am also fixing the way I word things so the story flows much more easily.
For fun, you can read one of the one-shots I have. (I recently started Homestuck and I did a Dave Strider x Reader one-shot that seems to have gotten a nice touch of attention. All one-shots have now been directed to DeviantArt. My deviantart name/profile should be in my 'profile' part of Fanfiction.)
Read other people's work and fangirl/boy out at how creative they are.
Wait until the summer for UD&D to have new chapters out.
Write your own story?
RATE AND REVIEW MY STORIES! (COMMENT on DeviantArt) Now only does it make me happy but it also helps me see if I am doing a good job as an author and to see if my readers appreciate what I am doing.
I guess I could draw out the story if I wanted to. It would make the story much clearer in some areas. I do credit myself on being a good enough artist but not to the point where you would be able to look at the drawings and say, "That is an amazing work of art!"
However, if I were to do this it would take a really long time. It would possibly take longer than when I write everything out! Maybe I'll do it when I'm finished the story. That way it will have a written word and then possibly a sketched out version.
Give me your thoughts: Would you guys prefer super long chapters for the battle (This would end up taking up about five to six chapters [or less] for the battle or short chapters which would end up being about eight to twelve chapters [or less]?)
I await your responses my darlings! Have a wonderful rest of the day!
