#I'm not even gonna look at the old outline to see what plot beats I want to pick back up. I'M WINGING IT BABY!

Phase 1 didn't get that much of an overhaul, so Phase 1 doesn't need a drastic rework but I'm still gonna take the opportunity to re-outline Phase 2

hooookay i think it's time for a little reminder about how

I Am Just A Single Person Doing A Silly Story For Fun On This blog!

I am very glad people enjoy my plot and are invested in it, but I do not need people sending several paragraphs worth of anons trying to explain my own plot to the characters, or even just trying to brute force figure out the intricacies of what's going on. (Also, you've seen how I implement asks into the panels. 4 asks full of paragraphs just isn't gonna look good, dudes.)

Remember, as an audience:

You are not going to know EVERYTHING immediately upfront at the first point it is relevant. I get that in a story where you can directly interact and ask stuff, it's tempting to try and figure ALL the little details out, but I'm not going to answer something that will be answered soon enough in story beats.

You can ask things for more clarity, but ultimately you cannot completely shift the narrative. The outline is... nebulous??? would that be a good word?? and asks I get may help shape the path, but I know details I wanna cover, threads I wanna follow, and characters I want to use.

That being said: Not every character from the game will be relevant/used, probably?? I'm not the greatest at managing SUPER big casts for stuff like this, and while I do understand some characters will be very relevant to plot beats/it would be nice to see them in the AU, it's important both you and I understand my limits when it comes to the story. I COULD include every single character from the game, but then the story would become a big old mess and not very fun for me when it's time for characters I don't really care much about. (This is also why I haven't really made characters out of members of Star's cult, and not to be That Person, but I'm basically now dead set on not having Ratoo appear because of some pushy anons.)

I'm not making something super epic and woven in with so many details. I mean, I'm certainly trying to write something fun and makes sense, but again, this is a fandom, for-fun project, I am just one person, and whatever worth it ends up having is merely a byproduct, not the intention of its creation. Its intention is just a fun thing people can enjoy. So please go easy on me and curb your expectations.

So again. Very happy people are invested to the point they WANT to send in that amount of stuff, but. Bro I Am Just Sitting Here.
