Hi everyone, dear author Alexa here! It's been a while since I've talked on here, huh? Yeah, I know. There's been a lot going on in my life as a senior high school student. But don't worry! It's been okay. I'm just really busy with studying and a bunch of other stuff I've been trying to make since so, so long ago.

Before we get to the big announcement, I'd like to give you all some updates on what I've been up to. I've been working on a bit of concept art for my online fancomic to post on Tumblr (my profile is Scout Sulat for those who're looking for me or might be curious, btw; but I'm looking to make a new account for the comic), and been learning some stuff on perspective too. I've also been trying to draw the main character of the comic and learning to speed draw properly now that I've found my artstyle. If I have time and patience, I might finally get around to drawing the characters in TGiaTW and give you all the character profiles, so maybe look out for those!

Also I'm looking forward to drawing my favorite main characters in silly friend scenarios so you all might like those too.

As for writing, I'm getting around to making that Genshin Impact and Sonic the Hedgehog crossover fanfiction I've been wanting to start for forever. I'm also finishing up Imagination is Power Chapter 2, so if school doesn't eat up my schedule you guys can expect it before August is over. Also been working on the rewrite of my Disney Twisted Wonderland fanfiction which I'm gonna be publishing onto Quotev first for some beta readers, so I'd like it if you guys could help me out with it by giving it a read when it's up. No pressure though.

Also I'm getting back into the infamous Gravity Falls, so yeah.

However, here's the big deal. I looked through TGiaTW's episode lists and the reason the story always takes so long is because of the fact that there are

So. Many. Chapters. For just the first. Book.

Yeah. No wonder it's taken me four years with very little progress to work on that huge passion project, huh?

It's the same for the other two books in the series, or seasons as I used to call them. When I was first developing this book, I put it into the format of today's average Disney Channel's animated shows: two stories in one chapter. However, with how long I was making each chapter, it took unfortunately too long before I realized it wasn't going to work. Going through a single chapter would probably take someone an hour, and I don't wanna use up too much of anyone's time, especially since a majority of readers are very gonna be young and older adults and busy teenage students who just managed to clear their schedule for enough free time of atleast an hour and probably planned to do something else with that time.

Luckily, a few readings of fanfictions in other fandoms of mine have given me a few ideas on how to fix this solution. So I will soon be releasing a new list of episodes, or chapters, for the entirety of this first book. But when I say soon, I do hope I can make time for it.

Speaking of which, I'd like to clarify which episodes I will be cutting. They'll be which ones I don't think will have much plot relevance, but there very much will be some spice-of-life stories as long as they contribute to important stuff like character development or character dynamics or foreshadowing. It'll take me a while, but I already have some ideas. Worry not, the cut chapters will still be part of the timeline, they'll just happen off screen. They'll be referenced in other chapters, referenced by characters like a Noodle Incident. I'm not saying which though. What, you think I'll be giving away the surprise just like that?

Well, as much as I'd love to say more, school unfortunately has me in a choke hold again, but that's all I can really say. Once I've got the new chapter list for book 1, I'll be sure to post them here. Before I log out, just gonna remind you all who're curious that I have a YouTube channel called AG-13 Studios where I plan to someday post animations, and a Tumblr account named after the new name of my persona Scout Sulat.

Okay that's all for now. For real this time. See you all soon, I hope. And remember: Growing up doesn't have to mean growing old.

May God bless us and protect us all. :)
