It has been a very long time since I have done anything on FanFiction.net. Because of the hecticness of life, my writing stuff has been incredibly slow at best. I have many writing projects going on at the moment, most of them being their own thing instead of fan fiction. I recently came up with the idea for a character who is an interdimensional traveler with enormous personality, and although the character themself is not fan fiction, I have decided to do a test run of this character in a fan fiction. This is the purpose of the story The Adventures of Dust and V. I have partnered this character V (no relation to the person in Devil May Cry 5) with the character Dust from Dust: An Elysian Tail because I thought it would make an interesting pairing. I have a general plan for the story which may span three installments, but exactly how far the story will go will depend on the reactions I get from the audience. And since this story is a test run for a character, the role of the story may end up changing over time, especially since this is not the only project that V will occur in.

Also, I have recently been working on a reboot of Matchmaking Wars, with things done in a way such that the story takes place in its own universe, and is not a fan fiction. It is possible that I will post it on FF.N at some point, but I have not yet decided. But even if I were to decide not to, there are still other projects which would appear on this site, such as the above mentioned story The Adventures of Dust and V.

I realize that it's been an incredibly long time since I've done anything on this site, for which I sincerely apologize. Fact is, my life has gotten so busy lately that I have not had time to do anything further, and it is looking to be that way for as far into the future as I can see. While I will eventually post further stories on FF.N at some unspecified and no doubt very distant point in the future, I will not be continuing Matchmaking Wars. I realize that this will come as a terrible shock to several of you at least. However, the story has gone on for so long already, and right now my life simply cannot accommodate the additional work needed to put chapters for it out. But keep reading this: It is not the complete end for Matchmaking Wars. Because I am actually thinking of rewriting it, in such a way that it is no longer a fan fiction. Let's face it, MW is practically its own universe anyways. It is only very vaguely related to the Halo universe, though ancient history, and also the vehicle and weapon names. Aside from that, everything else is purely from my own (and my friend Chris') imaginations. The rewrite will allow me to actually get MW published in bookstores (hopefully), and I'm also thinking of making the story much longer and in-depth. It of course will not be appearing on this site in that form, but this so-called "reboot" will allow me to transform to story into something much greater, applying the experience I have have gained while writing the version of MW here, as well as other stories. Though the main sequence of events in the MW reboot will be more or less the same, I assure all of you that the story will be redone enough that reading the published version will definitely be different enough as to be its own experience.

Many of you have recently begun wondering if I am dead, which I can completely understand. I am not, and I have just explained what's been going on. I will restate that, although I do plan to post more (non-MW) stories on this site, I currently have absolutely no idea when that will be. I have had lots of fun putting things on this site, and it's good to know that at least most of you have enjoyed reading that material as much as I have enjoyed writing it.


FAQ:

What is Matchmaking Wars?

Matchmaking Wars is a Halo action/comedy that started out as a machinima script, but had to be novelized instead because we ran out of the resources, time, and manpower necessary to make it into a machinima. Because life happened, I have unfortunately had to stop work on it indefinitely. However, it is possible that I will start posting a re-write of it at some point.

What other projects am I working on besides MW?

I am currently doing a story which is a test run for a character I came up with, and I have decided to partner this character with Dust from Dust: An Elysian Tail. This test run is the story The Adventures of Dust and V. I do not know how long the story will be. It depends on audience reactions. However, I have planned things quite far in advance, in the event that the story really takes off.

What is the fifth dimension?

The first four dimensions are three space dimensions and one time dimension. The fifth dimension is the fourth spatial dimension. For example, a cube has 3 spatial dimensions, for its width, length, and depth, and its interior is measured in volume, which in metric units is meters cubed (m3). A cube with four spatial dimensions is called a hypercube, and its interior is called hypervolume, which in metric units is m4. The fifth dimension, simply put, is an expansion on the properties of space, a fourth axis upon which things can exist that can be thought of as the fifth dimension when time is included.
