Hi, guys. It's TheMasterKat, and I'm here to give another brief update on my stories and announce a festive treat.

Once again, things are a little slow, mostly because I'm still figuring out certain things in my stories. It takes more than a few hours to plan an entire escape room, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to tackle the Disney scene part of The Ridonculous Race. Now, the next Whose Line? chapter is going well, but seeing as I promised not to release that until TRR is updated…

Although I might end up releasing that soon anyway, but whatever. The point is, none of these stories are dead. I'm still gonna figure out the kinks and get them out into the world as soon as possible.

I have also started posting my old chapters on DeviantArt, an idea that stemmed from the recent issues on this site where a ton of authors had difficulty displaying their latest chapters, myself included. This way, there's a backup plan if something like this happens again.

And now for that festive treat. The holidays are just around the corner, and none of us need reminding that said holidays are coming during a strange time for the world. We could all use a little extra cheer these days. So at some point before Christmas, the characters from all my stories (as in Chris, Chef, Don, everyone who has ever competed on all three TDE stories, everyone from The Ridonculous Race, and Hades from Whose Line?, plus Ryan, Colin, and Wayne if you want it) will get together for a collaboration of the 1984 Band Aid song, "Do They Know It's Christmas?".

Here are the details. This is gonna be either released as a chapter on TDE3, or it will be made into its own published story on this site. Still trying to decide. If you've heard the song before, you know how it works. If not, I suggest you listen to it. I'm also gonna amend the lyrics somewhat to better fit the current world climate. See, the original version (and the three remakes that have been made since then) were mostly speaking for helping out the impoverished in Africa. I want this version to be for the whole world. If you have ideas for how to change the lyrics, let me know.

Some of the lyrics will have one person singing a solo, or a small group singing a certain line. Now, I have to point out that with everyone that I want doing this, there's gonna be around eighty characters involved. Everyone will sing in some capacity, but not everyone will have a solo or even be in a small group. Some are practically guaranteed one, like Deadpool and 2D, while others likely won't, such as Ivy and Jamie. Heck, others will mainly do instrumental, namely Murdoc, Noodle, and possibly Lammy. If there's a specific person you want to have a solo or whatnot, let me know. I'll try and give the spotlight to as many characters as possible.

At the end of the day, the world really doesn't have much of a reason to be happy during the holidays this year, and I want to spread my own cheer. Even if that cheer is small, I want to give it a shot. The chapter will be released sometime before Christmas Day. You guys have the next few weeks to help me with amending the lyrics and give requests for solos. I hope this proves a worthy celebration of holiday cheer.

Good luck!
