~This is an apology to any of the 4,718 people who read Minecraft: Bowslinger.~

No, there will be no more updates. I am sorry. The last time I published a chapter was in 2013. I was a freshman in high school! Even that was just uploading chapters that had been written in 2011 and 2012, when I was still in middle school.

(I cringe writing this. I did not handle middle school gracefully; I don't hesitate to say that Bowslinger is the only thing I did back then that doesn't embarrass me now.)

I had written all the way up to chapter 36, but at some point those files were all deleted. 2 years is a long time to hang on to 16 documents. However, since 2 years is also a long time to be hanging onto a plot and I doubt I could have told the story better in those chapters than I am about to, let me just give you the conclusion very quickly:

- Steve, Punchy, Cynwrig, and Emilia get all the supplies they need and use the TNT to form a giant pit.

- Emilia convinces a Blaze to carry Punchy above the center of the pit so they can trap zombies inside. Punchy needs a fishing rod to hang on without getting burnt, and after a few chapters of filler- ta dah! They trap the zombies.

- Emilia talks to the zombies, who tell her a vague direction she can go to find Herobrine. (I can't remember why they had to be trapped for her to do this. I think Herobrine had warned them not to talk to her or something.)

- They stumble across Herobrine's Evil Office of Evil Doom and Godly Stuff Office. (It's a working title.)

- Oh No! Herobrine Was Actually The Ender Dragon All Along!

- *epic fight*

- *Emilia intervenes*

- *Emilia almost dies*

- *Punchy jumps in to save Emilia*

- *Cynwrig and Steve team up against Herobrine, but as he dies he refuses to grant immortality to the humans. Steve starts to fade from existence.* (I think the chapter where this part was explained ended up in the outtakes. Sorry, I was 14.)

- Emilia: "Steve, I'mma be all dead up in here anyway. Here, take this." *throws immortality at Steve*

- Steve: "Thanks bruh" *takes immortality*

- Punchy: "But I loved you Emilia omgomg" *cries*

- Emilia: "lololol u snoozed so u loozed" *dies*

- Cynwrig: "Woof. Let's go home."

- Punchy decides to stay behind and watch as the Aether falls apart (with Herobrine dead, there's nothing left to hold it together so that's a thing). Punchy is depressed that his immortal lady friend is gone so he's throwing his own life away, too.

- Steve and Cynwrig (PS- it's pronounced "sin-rig") go home. Steve doesn't want to be a miner anymore, so he roams the world fighting monsters to protect the rest of humankind from them.

- I can't remember if this was mentioned in the story, but monsters came from the Aether and teleported to the Overworld because shadows acted as teleporters for extraterrestrial beings. When the Aether is destroyed, the monsters stopped spawning (including Endermen; Herobrine's Evil Office […] was atop one of the pillars in The End. The only possible monsters would probably be Pigmen, but even that's only if lightning strikes a pig.)

- Oh, and Herobrine : Aether :: Emilia : Nether :: Cynwrig : Overworld. Since Cynwrig was the only one of the deities to survive, the Overworld was the only remaining realm (i.e. the Nether was also destroyed when Emilia died.)

- THE HAPPY END!

I know, I know. I could have phrased the summary better. I could have actually written all of those chapters, but guys, I don't think that's fair to anyone. I hope this sad little document can act as my apology for never finishing the story. It was so much fun writing for everyone and seeing how y'all reacted in the reviews! Thank you for reading, as always.

With a trembling heart,
