whens time displacement coming back dude i love it

I'm glad you have enjoyed it!!!! TD is a story very close to my heart and I am so happy that people are still enjoying it.

I don't really have an ETA for the next chapter. It is extremely not well-formed yet. I have loads of notes and such about TD but the actual bones/structure of next chapter are...very very minimal.

I will get back to it though, TD is just not something I can work on all the time. I have to gear up for it and do a lot of sort of rereading and pre-research because I'm just not as into Homestuck as I was when I started it.

I do want to do a full Homestuck reread, which would help my process immensely, but that's a pretty big undertaking, so I haven't yet started that.

Depending on how things are going in my life, I might try to get work done in early 2024 so I could get another chapter out for Homestuck day, but I don't know. I wrote/edited/etc the 20k words of Chapters 22 and 24 to get them out this year, but Chapter 22 was a full draft that I had to rewrite and Chapter 24 had several thousand words of half-formed scenes before I went in to finish it and then edit.

TLDR I just don't have the same amount of pre-work done for Chapter 25 yet so it is much much less formed atm.

Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted? I'm sort of vaguely rambling about my process here. Just know that TD is a story I want to continue writing and will continue writing, but it's just not viable for it to be 'priority #1' for me, so it's sort of a side project.

#shitpost #i know like. writing and updating a fic once a year if that is like. pretty bad updates-wise #and while i am still passionate about TD and while I do still like Homestuck like.#it was something i was way more into in college. it has not become like #a long-term special interest of mine. so #writing a story that is so large and intense for something that is not as much of a special interest means it takes like.#a more concerted effort? I really have to gear up for it and focus #It takes so much time to write every TD chapter post like. chapter 15 or so. And I love doing it but like #the scale of effort it demands is a lot #and i mean writing in general is always that way! and im always writing so many things #If I only wrote TD I would have progressed far more but. I just can't do that #all of this being said. ive considered a joke commission tier called 'i want it now'#and if someone paid it i would write the next TD chapter like. as my active project. haha #I don't think i'd actually try to impliment that and I really doubt anyone would ever like. DO that. but it's a funny thought #Since I write for fun I can't stick to any project all the time.#If I was paid it would be like. a different mindset. but #I have to chase my interest/my joy and while I do buckle down and PUSH and WORK to get things done.#i like....have to choose where i put that effrot #i only have so much effort and so much time #so i have to choose to spend it well #and im afraid right now my two 'main projects' are long-running OC stuff. and. a completely different fanfiction #okay sorry again for how long and ramblely this is #fic: time displacement
