Hey everyone! So I just wanted to talk about Weapons of Mass Destruction for a little.
The thing is when I wrote this story, I really didn't expect any reviews. At the time I was only fifteen and began writing for the sole reason that I dreamt Ratchet knocked himself out with one of his huge guns like I had him do in the first chapter and I woke up laugh-crying.
When I began writing I had no plans at all for this story and every chapter was literally me winging it. You were wondering what was going to happen next after an update? Well me too!
Yeah. I realised that was a real terrible way to write.
But even though I didn't have a set plan, I was always going to finish this story because GOOD GRIEF nothing hurts more than finding a fabulous half-finished story and seeing the last update was in 2005. Not that I ever thought anyone would ever feel that way about my writing.
I had no idea about the amazing feedback I'd get for this story and people actually begging for updates; I've even had a few people on Tumblr send me asks about this work!
This story may not have as many reviews as other works in the archive but the quality of all the reviews I get is worth so much more than any number.
So I wanted to thank you all. The people who liked, followed, put in their favourites, learned to recite the first few chapters without a computer in front of them (yeah someone did that!), I just want to thank you guys a whole lot. But especially my reviewers. I find the people who review this story are crazy loyal! I recently found out a fair few still check for upates regularly even thought if we exclude my recent update, THE LAST CHAPTER WAS POSTED TWO YEARS AGO! Like seriously! I really couldn't be more blessed!
But I guess that wasn't really me talking about the story, that was me kind of gushing and crap. But I do have some plans for this story I'd like to tell you all about.
Obviously, WoMD isn't finished yet. I've been promising action for a while but put it off a fair bit because I was kind of clueless on how to write action. But in the last three years I think my writing has improved a whole lot, mainly because whenever I read any of my old work I cringe, and that has to mean something, right?
But I've gotten off track again.
Next chapter will be a whole lot of action, and the chapter after that a whole lot of Ratchet. I think I finally know where I'm going with this!
But as well as finally having a plan, once I finish this story I plan on going back and rewriting each chapter. The story and dialog will remain the same, but I'll be correcting spelling and grammar, story structure, and just fixing up crap I know I can make sound a whole lot better now.
So that's pretty much it. After posting the new teaser the other day I just wanted to post a formal message to say yes I'm still alive, yes I'm still a huge R&C fan, and I totally, totally plan on finishing this story.
There might even be sequel ideas rolling in my noggin... ;)
Thank you everyone for the continued support!
