AO3 is Down?

 The News So Far?

This is something I have to say about this whole thing.

I started out as a FanFic author. I have been on the same sites for decades, and most of the time I wrote under the name Samkin-lone-Senshi. I have been doing this writing for Weiss Kreuz, Sailor Moon, and many more.

I went to AO3 as NagiNaoe202 and wrote some pretty nice works of my own and also some fanfics. I will mention that most people have been pretty upset that this happened at all. I am upset that my drop schedule for chapters had to be postponed because I was hoping to finish up a few stories and move on to some others. 

So here we are; we are basically dealing with a bunch of stuff that we just learned about what happened. AO3 is still down, and yet here we are writing about a serious problem. This is the fact: I don't have an issue with someone who is unable to read having the story read back by an AI, but I want it to be free. The fact that copyright infringement is a thing. 

My issue is that I am disappointed that some AO3 knockoff tried to pass itself off and force people to pay for something that should be free. 

I have spent months trying to write up an idea for the ending of some stories, but now I have to step back and put this through revision again. While yes, I am upset, nearly every fanfic author and reader is going to be mad. 

I am not sure how to address it much further than this; if you want to message me on here or on fanfic, go ahead.

Story Drop Times vary

News about the Tales of Chandra: the drop schedule will remain for December for the newer chapters. I am sorry, and I am going to be working on a revision and then will be dropping chapters well into January and February of next year.

The fact is that while AO3 is down, their stories on Wattpad will be continued, and the writing will continue in the same way into the end of 2027. 

Questions about the book

This came up in a few things I am physically exhausted and being asked over and over if The Dragon's Library will have a physical book or a new edition from the one on Amazon. The answer is, I have no idea. I have been working with different people, and the same conclusion is that the book is being revised again.

I have been trying to work on the book for the past few months, but the process is long, and I am still trying to find a publisher that will take me. I have no literary agent, and for the most part, I am frustrated by all this and will be updating you as soon as I get news.

The Issues that will be happening

 The Delays for 2027

The stories that are now on delay are the ones for Tales of Chandra. I have to look at the new writing for the Dragon's Library. 

Dragon's Library is one of the stories I would do a few works on the first chapter. 

Tales of Chandra stories

The newest editions will be added to Wattpad in December; I will talk about that in a few other posts in the future. 

I will keep this in mind. 

Note:

I did realize that my Facebook page was reported, but nothing really happened; I am not going to be stupid about it. There will be no further discussion. Please understand that the writing is more important. I will not discuss this with anyone. 

AO3 Drop for the FanFiction

 In the Sands On AO3

All right, the Lost Boys and Weiss Kreuz Crossover has one new chapter added; this was in addition to the stall-out due to drama. 

Yes, Cherry threw some things into the air and made me unwilling to release it just yet, but the chapter is finished, edited, and now live on AO3. 

Chapter 4 won't drop until sometime in November or December; I haven't finished working out the plotlines or where I want the story to go. 

News on Wattpad Stories

Well...nothing as of yet because some of it hasn't been transcribed from a notebook. While the whole thing can be explained, telling me that I should blame someone for this stall-out is not true. Cherry has nothing to do with the fact that I am losing some steam and need to take a break. 

The Wattpad stories are going to take longer because the chapters are going through some edits, and I am going to be changing up some of the story showcases. 

Hugo's backstory is being taken out of the running until next year, same with Sawyer's and a few others. I am going to be breaking this down. 

Tales of Chandra will be collection-based short stories with no major story until maybe when the official story is announced. I won't make that announcement until I know when. 

Dragon's Library....Wait for it

Let's put it in perspective: at the moment that I had the drama, I was already going to be announcing the stall out for a while, then I had to sit down and realize how stupid it would sound. Yes, I was hoping to have some idea of monetary edits, and then it turned out not to happen.

The Scammers didn't get money from me. I was hoping to not announce anything until I was good and ready, and the sad part is...this is going to take longer than I expected. I have been trying to figure out some way to work on it. 

The truth is, I am pretty much on my own when it comes to this. I have no idea how to afford an editor, much less become a writer who is published other than through Amazon. Each time I think I have the idea of what I want, a new rock is thrown into the window. 

The Drama is Real

 What is going on?

I am going to mention that, yes, I had to deal with drama on Facebook, but it was just a strange one-day thing that just blew itself out. The person in question, well...I will just call her Cherry; she just doesn't seem to get that people like me aren't interested. 

I support my friend, Kristin, who is a cosplayer who has been stalked by Cherry for a while. I don't really think that I should be saying this, but honestly, I have decided to go quiet. 

I'm a writer, not a cosplayer, so I have no idea why Cherry would target me again just for telling Kristin to seek legal action. 

The rest of the writing

I am working on the fanfiction on AO3. I am putting new stories up in the next few days; the schedule is still up in the air, and I am trying to keep my head up. 

I have not talked about the issues I am having with some people. 

Message to Cherryblossomcosplay

I am not interested in your drama, and I am trying to keep writing my stories. I have no idea why you are upset with me for siding the way I do. You made your decisions, you did your own thing, and honestly, I broke with you because you couldn't handle the fact that you don't know the history of your own faith. You think that Jesus is a real person; he wasn't. He was made up in a book; he's a myth, and you need to accept that some people won't accept him or be privy to change their BELIEFS. 

I sided with Kristin because she made sense; you were jumping at shadows. No one wants to deal with a drama person. I opted to abandon Angel and Tonnia because they forced it. They say I'm dismissive. Angel broke a $300 AutoLens for a camera and dismissed it; she didn't care that I was using it for my photography; she ONLY cared that my bag was useful. 

When I decided to be a "NO PACK MULE!" I was the bad guy who refused to help her; I'm not her nurse, I'm not her maid, I thought we were friends until she dismissed me. I dismissed her sex fetish and her obsession with a show that I found boring and uninteresting. 

You can take this blog as you see it. I am a writer first, and I'm not interested in your fight or your behavior against me. I have a novel; you have a kid, a husband, and a house to take care of. Please just stop! 

Now this is closing you down. You found my blog and you are going to attack it, do what you want, but be aware that I am a writer, not going to be doing anything you would find interesting. 

Bye!

The Worry, but not my issue

 I was not thinking about the idea that next month I would be dropping the rest of the chapters for Dumb Magic, while I waited on the concepts. 

I have been working on the main story to the point that my head is not up to it. I have been avoiding the real issue, but I am also feeling a bit sad. 

Why I was quiet for so long

 I am not going to be in a bad mood when I wrote it, I have been a bit quiet. I have been silent about what happened and why I have been more focused on the world. 

The first time I wrote the books as an afterthought, I was interested in writing; I was not interested in being in the same group. The fact is, I am not sure what I am, but I want to write a story. I know I will never be a real author, but that is fine with me. 

I want to write, but I have never wanted to be hurt or have someone hurt. 

AO3 and the edits are two different types of stories

 Tale of Chandra Updates! 

Nekomancers are Easy Edits

The story will be updated in the next few days, and I will be moving things around to the Dabble. I have no idea when I will be posting more, and I will have some of the artwork in the works. 

I would start telling people what is going on with the newest story. 

This story has been finished to its conclusion.

I am considering moving everything off AO3. I am going to be looking at Wattpad and any other place that could be the place for Chandra Tales. 

Link to Wattpad: Nekomancers are Easy

Dumb Magic

The story is going to be heading back to the rewrite, and then I am going to finish the story. I'm going to be working on the new friends.

The editing process is pretty much going to be.

First set of chapters in Wattpad has been linked. 

Link: Dumb Magic

Training Story

Sawyer's story will be posted and will be brought out to AO3.

You will see the first few chapters will be edited for Dabble and will be put into the collection of stories.
