No art this chapter. I feel like you all deserve an update on where I stand on my current books, considering I have so many. So here you go.

Switched
I really want to continue Switched, it's one of my better AUs and I know y'all really seem to like it. However, there are very heavy topics involved that I feel I've portrayed in a very negative manner/a very incorrect fashion. So the current storyline will be scrapped, the book set on a discontinued hiatus until I flesh out something better and more accurate. Hopefully I'll also do my research, as when I started Switched I knew nothing about what I was writing. Big mistake on my part. The course of the story also changed a few chapters in, due to a shift in my understanding of psychology and what I wanted to do with Switched. Which didn't end up too well. Do expect a refurbish of Switched in the future, but for now I will mark it as discontinued. Don't worry though, Dr Socks is coming back and he'll hopefully be a little more realistic and equally traumatized because I love him as much as a lot of you seem to do. :]

Seriously though I love his character and what I have planned with him to I hope to bring him and all his problems back :>

Angelic
Discontinued. I like the idea and where I was going with it, but I executed it very poorly and would like to remake it possibly along a closer alignment to the canon SockSMP instead of intertwining OCs into the plot line. Don't expect this anytime soon, however, as it's not really my main priority. RIP Yin, Yang, and Harmony, though, because if I do rewrite it to be closer to the SockSMP they will unfortunately lose their status as part of the story. And also the name will probably change if that happens, because Blaza probably won't be brought back as an angel anymore lmao.

Filicide
Don't think I've forgotten about Mazhun and Taiga, they're getting continued because I'm quite proud of what I've made up for Filicide and I want to finish it. Hell, maybe after some work I could get it published. But that'll be a while. I'll work on it when I can, but it is NOT discontinued, just on a small hiatus and a possible rewrite as some of it's a little rushed.

Guide
Also hiatus, just a longer one. Maybe I'll scrap what I have as well. Right now it's kind of just slightly altered Bird Box so I wanna make it more original while still keeping the vibe and where it's going because y'all are gonna be mad at me after I reveal the b i g t w i s t -

Eternal Winter
Hiatus, because I like it right now, I just need to continue it and figure out what I'm doing with it because I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.

Experimental
Rewrite still in the making. Just gotta rewrite the rewrite I've already written and plan out where I'm going with the new plot line. Stay tuned I guess.
(This sums up every book I have tbh /hj)

All My Favorite Monsters
AMFM is important because I want to tie it into the Afterlife season ARG (the name keeps changing, I need an official name for it. Ideas are welcome). I'm annoyed that it wasn't finished before I made the ARG, but I'll admit, I started the ARG as a little joke because I was going without signal for two days and did NOT expect it to get the results that it did. I decided to tie the two together AFTER the fact, so I'll try and continue it/rewrite it in order to add some context for the lore of the ARG.

Hell
The issue I had with finishing Hell was that I had like half the book written (I'd been working on it since January '23) but then I decided I hated it and scrapped it. Then I decided to also rewrite Afterlife in like July so I did that, then got back to Hell, and was burnt out and then had the ARG to deal with, and we all know how that goes. That's the only reason Hell's still unfinished. I have a bad habit of letting burnout chase me away from projects and I need to work on it-
Needless to say, Hell isn't discontinued, I'm still working on it, just very slowly. Choppy hiatus, ig.

The Spiritbooks
Since we're on the topic of Afterlife, I'll mention The Spiritbooks. I don't yet know if I want it to be a guide to the world of Afterlife, the backstory of Cyfrin and Squiggle, or exactly how it'd be written in canonical Afterlife where it's a combo of those. If I make it just about Cyfrin and Squiggle, I'll probably include other short stories explaining the lore of the other characters whose backstories have yet to be revealed or are not important enough to mention (the protags, Barley and Sasha, etc). Kinda like a spinoff series similar to Zootopia+, just assorted stories of the side characters you all seem to like more than the actual protagonists and antagonists lmao.
Thinking about it and typing it out, that might be the route I'll go, because I've been wanting to share what I've developed for the Afterlife characters anyway. Maybe at some point any of you with Yudaes can make stories to put in there as well, just for funsies, idk I'm just throwing ideas out there.
(Also your friendly reminder that Yudaes are officially an open species if you didn't know, more info in the chapter titled something like "afterlife refs + open species" in this book. I need a separate book for my open species, I have three and one of them is for an oc I don't even use anymore, RIP Arsenal and the shadow demons-)
(Oki done rambling about Yudaes-)

Mastermind
I hate Mastermind but I have like three chapters left to write as well as (the mastermind's) inevitable execution (no spoilers for y'all who haven't read it lol) to draw. I've been hesitant because I'm not sure if I want it to be one and done or if I want to make a second book. Only issue is I haven't read (played? Watched? Tf is Danganronpa part 2 where do I find it) part 2 of Danganronpa, and therefore my only reference is Ace's book DR:GO (HIGHLY suggest giving it a read btw incredible book). And to prevent any heavy parallels to DR:GO I'd rather know the original plot line before starting. Also maybe I should think about how murder mysteries work and have better cover ups/foreshadowing for murders.
Moral of the story, Mastermind will be finished as soon as I decide on the book 2 ordeal. Hiatus.

Bloodied Paws
Hrnghhhhhhh I hate how many times I've rewritten BP but I might do it again. I have multiple plans for it, some of which can't happen unless I change a lot about the general universe it takes place in and that's annoying. I'm not giving up on BP because I want Addie and Inferno to have some sort of full written backstory due to how special they are to me, and I want it to be a story I personally connect with, which will make a lot of sense once I finally finish it and reveal the symbolism behind everything I've written. BP is a very personal story to me but I'm not connecting with it like I want to right now, so I will figure that out and bridge the gap I need to bridge in the current plot line and the crazy *ss idea I might not even be able to pull off with it. I also might change the title, as I don't feel it fits the way I want it to.
So hiatus until I figure it out, I guess.
Unspoken is not at all canceled, by the way, and neither it Karma (Cinder's book that I've never mentioned before), those'll probably still happen, it'll just be a while.

Hunting Season
Ah, the attempted analog horror thing. I would like it to be more video based, as that's a bit easier to do with the style I want it to be in, but I don't know what I'm doing, tbh. Editing is not my strong suit, I'm not allowed to put my voice on the internet by order of my mom, and I don't know how to record footage for it. So uh. Maybe one day I'll fully make it into an analog horror series, but the book will be discontinued, probably. For now it's on hiatus, but if that changes, I'll let y'all know.

Intoxicate
Nothing's changed since I discontinued it, I'll rewrite it one day basing it more around Tonix. I'm still debating on whether Anatox will still be a part of it or if she'll be completely left out of the story or what, but nevertheless Intoxicate will come back, probably under a different name as well.

NTB Series
Small hiatus, as I think I burnt myself out. Kind of a growing theme here- I'M WORKING ON IT THOUGH I DIDN'T TRY TO HYPE IT UP FOR NOTHING!!
Broken Symmetry is still a definite yes, as it's an important part of the story, Divided Souls will come back under a different title when I get there (and when I actually... fill out the holes in Akik's lore-), and Psychopath might be scrapped, as, as I'll explain in a moment, romance is not a genre I can execute with good quality. Sad, really, because I feel like Vizor and Dawn deserve a book due to how their lore it, but idk what I'm doing there. So. Sorry.

Twisted
I have plans for Twisted, that's not going on hiatus at all, I'm just getting stuck on stupid (but important) uneventful parts of the current chapter because I can't write unless there's endless action for some reason. Also some of the comments, as I've mentioned, are a little... odd, which makes me a bit hesitant about posting more-
God the FPE fandom sucks WHY ARE YOU ALL SO H*RNY FOR MISS CIRCLE CHILL OUT /hj
Also like I've mentioned, Twisted has a B I G lore monster that's trying to break down Alice's door and I can barely wrap my head around the monstrous amalgamation I've created that is Twisted's lore and future. And there's more characters that will be introduced, like the Twisted AU version of Katie's other OCs, as I was unaware that they were all in the same universe?? So that's gotta be worked out.

Since I'm talking about Twisted, I'll say a few other things about its progress that I've been wanting to tease. I've broken up the book into three "Arcs," in which a different character will play the protagonist. Claire's Arc will come to a close in a few chapters, then Engel's Arc, and then the mystery arc to wrap it up with a nice little murder bow. The entire thing is completely planned, besides my earlier mention of adding the additional non-paper Katie OCs that are evidently part of it. I think I know what to do with Agetha, maybe Fen too, but the others I have no idea the significance of, so they might just end up victims of ✨paper covid✨ /j
Also, unimportant, but these three arcs will also hopefully be made into a part 2 and 3 of the Fall Little Wendy Bird animatic, because that song literally tells the whole story in my head (it's what inspired me to make Twisted :3).

Angelic Omen
Everyone: hey, nice story you got there!
Me: *sticks my hands into the plotholes* Thanks, it has pockets :)

WHOO that's a train wreck if I've ever seen one. Can't believe I wanted to actually publish that book.
It's complete so it's pretty low on my priority list, maybe it'll be rewritten one of these days and/or maybe I'll make something specifically about the lore because the lore, specifically that of Sxorces, makes me happy. It's some of my better work in that book.
I don't like it at all, though, it's very cliche, badly written, enough plot holes to make a trypophobe more squeamish than I am faint, etc. I've kinda given up on it, though, so any refurbs of it aren't likely. Don't get your hopes up, and maybe don't read it if you haven't because I wrote that b*tch in a month and it is BAD-

True Identity
I hate the writing and the illustrations but I'll remake them at some point, maybe for Goretober or something, and it's definitely one of my more successful older books. There's always the possibility of me rewriting it to be more accurate to the SCP universe (hence the fact that multiple non-SCP people knew the foundation existed in the book, sorry my fellow SCP fans I was quite new to the fandom-).
I might remake it, but right now I'm fairly content with its status, so unless I want to rip the floorboards out because of how hideous it is, True Identity will remain untouched. Wow a book I'm actually semi-happy with, that's a first-

Also I think I mentioned a graphic novel of TI at some point, I wouldn't get your hopes up, but maybe one day I can make it.

Unreleased books
Seraphim (Abbadon's book) will probably happen at some point. (Chat please don't start singing You Didn't Know I beg of you /gen /lh)
Killing Time (Octavia's book) will happen one day, don't expect it anytime soon as It's been a while since I've made a graphic novel and I've never actually put a storyline into it before. (Hence the StacyPlays fanfic series I've mentioned on a few occasions lmao)
うつつ/utsutsu is a hit or miss, as I like it but I have no idea how or when I'll execute it. Don't get your hopes up, though.
Victim (Roshan and Phori's book), I'm not sure if I'll do, considering the nature of what it'd be. As you might expect from someone who's never been in a relationship, I don't know how to write romance, even like Roshan and Phori have where there's a lot more violence than anything else. I also don't know if I want it to have a good or bad ending. Or how I want their dynamic to work. Or their general world, for hell's sake. Maybe I'll make it some sort of animation meme series, because I got a PLETHORA of songs that fit their lore very well and I feel that maybe it'd work better animated.
Host is still in the making and will be released when ready. Will not be anytime soon tho.
Innlausn I'm still debating, might be a long time before I make it. Maybe I'll save it for content purposes-

Collabs
I am sorry to anyone who I agreed to do a collab with because as you might see I have terrible commitment issues and trouble with using docs to communicate and collaborate with sTrAnGeRs. I'm doing all I can with the ones I've currently been asked to work on (specifically Perception of Equilibrium, I'msosorryAceIdidnotmeanforthistotakesolong), I've just... burnt myself out writing wise, I guess. Maybe that's why I've been doing art a bit more.
Needless to say, if I've started a collab with you before my google docs restrictions, I'm not asking to discontinue it completely, as maybe in the near future we can pick it back up, or we could figure out a way to plan it out through Wattpad. Time limits on my apps are still an issue too, though, and also I can't work on five books at once, as much as I wish I could.
So uh... pending. I haven't given up on you guys, I'm just struggling on my end with a mix of my other commitments, mental exhaustion, and online socialization restrictions.
This doesn't apply to Trapped, PoE, Broken Shards, or any collab that's been continued since I've stopped being able to use docs for collabs, y'all are fine

The ARG/End This/Name ideas welcome
[STATUS REDACTED. YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO VIEW THE STATUS OF BKNM:"ARG." PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.]

If a book is not on this list, assume it's status has not changed. Comment if you have any questions.

(Lil vent warning, if you don't wanna deal with it I'm not offended and wholeheartedly understand, you don't have to read it. It's nothing bad, I'm just getting my thoughts out-)

I also want to apologize on behalf of my merciless commitment issues and general "do everything and leave them unfinished if you don't wanna work on it" mindset. And on behalf of myself. I understand y'all are probably tired of this bullsh*t by now, and I get it, I'm just still... figuring myself out, I guess. This is what I get for starting this sort of thing at a young age and not working on my own discipline before making a commitment to things I'll end up hating. I'm working on it, though, so... bear with me, I guess. Or don't. If you're that tired of me then by all means, you can leave. There's nothing stopping you, all I have is a tiny box that allows me to talk to you all. I can't stop you from leaving and that's okay. Maybe in a few years you can come back and I'll be better at finishing what I've started.

Hopefully.

Sorry for the vent. That's been tearing at my brain rent-free for a while. Gotta make it pay the same thing my characters do to exist, am I right? /j

Anyway. Sorry if something you wanted me to finish isn't gonna be finished for a while. Maybe one day I'll make your dream come true.

Just not today.

I'm apologizing a lot- I think I've been doing that a lot lately-

It's just one of those weeks, I guess. I flippin hate teenage years, give me a mood to stick to and stop making me cry because two people are talking to me at once-

I need to stop typing before this chapter becomes three hours long- I wrote this at 12 am so it might just be rambling tbh. Hope it's not because I'm not checking.

General overview:
DISCONTINUED: Angelic
HIATUS: Hunting Season, EW, Guide, Filicide, NTB, Mastermind, AMFM, Hell, Spiritbooks
REWRITE (CLEAN SLATE): Switched, BP (maybe), Intoxicate
REWRITE (REFURBISH): TI, AO [both unlikely]
UNPUBLISHED: TBA
ACTIVELY WRITING: Twisted (ish)

All of these are subject to change at any time. My bio will contain updated statuses on all my books.

I hope to regain my will to write soon and actually not feel like a failure, so when that happens I'll be happy but for now I'll cry in a corner as I procrastinate 👍

Bye!
