hiya everyone!

it's me again sorry about being gone for a bit, was busy with lot's of IRL stuff, i.e. moving out of my parent's house, work, and most of all writing and working on connection! lots of stuff has changed for connection since I've been gone. for one I'm currently working on chapter 22 for the first book and the first 21 chapter's have been posted to both my ao3 and my Wattpad. both of which I'll post link's to each in the comment section of this journal/any post's involving connection in any way, shape or form.


so continuing on the topic of connection. I have some great news the story is now over roughly 200,000 words long. which is pretty impressive I'll admit that; but also I'm currently working on some character sheet's of the many character's involved with the story on connection. (including but not exclusively my shameless self insert of a pro-tag) yeah if any of you have read any of connection I have to admit that a lot of the story has changed from the OG version of the story. but anyway I'll be posting some character sheets of the main character's/ side character's/ lore page's/ species sheets/ and more! onto to both here and my tumblr! ^-^

so please look forward to that everyone! ^-^

and until next time!

Hiya everyone

Syrenestardusty here again, so I updated the story of connection last night. It wasn’t too drastic of a change to the story, rather a change to the amount of chapters are currently out right now. So I had noticed some of the later chapters were a bit too short so I decided to combine two chapters together. So instead of the prior 15 chapters that I had before, I have instead 13 as of right now. The chapters that have been added together into one longer chapter are as follows, chapter 10 and chapter 11 have been added together since both chapters by themselves were a bit too short for my liking and it would help smooth the story out a bit later on along with that it would give me the ability to better fill out 50 chapters like I’m planning on for the first book. The next two chapters that I added together are chapter 12 and chapter 13. As I thought that again both chapters were a bit too short for my liking, chapter 13 coming up to about 5,300 words at the max, while chapter 13 came up to about 1,000 words less than the chapter prior.

So to combat this I added the two chapters together, I may when I get to chapter 20, finally take the time to revise and edit each chapter to help smooth them out and work out any fine tuning they may need. So that I don’t have too many plot holes in the story for connection and the world that my and other characters are in.

Aside from this small update about how the written story is going, I will start posting information on the world and the hundreds of species that populate it.

With that taken care of, I need to touch upon one important part of this story that needs to be mentioned, their will be many references to Irl pop culture, along with many references to fandoms and the jokes in said fandoms. That being said please understand that this is one of the most largest projects that I will be taking on in my life. And I know that with all of the references I put in the story I will no doubt have some trouble finding out who to exactly credit for the jokes and memes. I only bring this up because of a very important element that is in the story of connection. Fandoms, and the characters that are in said fandoms. This is no way in me saying that I will claim any of these characters that will either only briefly show up in connection or will be a side character in the story. I will not claim any of the characters that are not mine, only the ones that I genuinely have made for the story. Characters like varies, Salem, and several others that I have genuinely put time and effort into creating will be the only true characters that I will ever claim as my own. Characters like gamzee, sans, even creepypasta characters will never be claimed as my own creations since I understand how difficult it is for creators nowadays to keep others from stealing/misusing their work. I will in a way only portray my own take of these characters, or to be more exact how I feel these characters would feel in the kind of scenarios that will be in connection. I will post in future journals, art and even future chapters which character is my own genuine creation and not a fan’s interpretation of another’s own character. Albeit I will admit there may be times that I will mess up my own written interpretation of the characters that others have made and before that even happens I apologize in advance for it.

I repeat I am only saying this to prevent any accusations that I’m trying to make money off of those characters, if I ever do get to the point where I can make any physical products for connection the only characters that I will have items to buy of will be my own, not my interpretations of others characters. That settled I bring this up because, Connection is a multidimensional hub world. Meaning any comic, show, cartoon or even horror story’s character may have a chance to appear in connection. Does this mean I own the franchises that may show up?, no if anything if I do make any money off of the future series I would make sure I could give a fraction of that money to those who created said franchises if possible. But I’m thinking way too ahead of myself, anyway connection is something that will be the hard work that I myself have come up with after years of thinking and coming up with a unique way to portray the story that I have in mind. Side characters stories, sequels and even more for maybe a webcomic in the future. But for now I will settle on taking it one step at a time.

Okay so..... I disappeared yet again.
Sorry about that.
Life definitely likes to make me busy that’s for sure!, So what’s happened is that I got a part time job.
And I forgot that devianart was a thing.....again. -_-‘’’’’ yeah I forget things fairly easily I apologize for that.

So this time for sure I will be more active on da cause I don’t have an excuse for it since I have a phone and discovered that I can in fact post while on my phone. Which means many things.

1. I can post more frequently
2. I can post more art and written works a lot more quickly than before
3. I can post period

Yeah so aside from the obvious I will be posting quite a bit more nowadays thanks to the wonderful thing that is known as technology.
So let me go over my plans for what I’ll start posting now.
So if anyone’s read my last journal you’ll know that I have been hinting at a bigger project of mine that is currently in the works.
What that project is?
A book...
Or to be more specific a book series that much to my embarrassment is in fact a self insert story but thank mirth that it’s not a cringe inducing one.
I am as of writing this journal working on chapter 15 of the first book, obviously it’s still in the rough draft stage of it so what I have written now may change barely or vastly by the time I finish it.

I have posted the first 14 chapters not on da but on wattpad, and eventually Ao3 (whenever I remember my password) but I will post the link to the story on the journal and down in the comments section below if anyone is interested in reading what I have written so far:
www.wattpad.com/user/SierraMit…

So the series name is connection along with the books as for right now due to me not being very creative with clever book titles. But I genuinely want to one day make connection something that I want to be proud of. I have talked to both friends and family about the story and the concepts for both the world, characters, society and the many creatures/animals that I have put into this monster of a story idea.

It’s still crazy for me to think that the entire firestarter for this entire thing was a daydream that I had back in freshmore year of high school and now it’s been nearly six years in the making. Though I do have to admit the story is not yet at the state I want it to be quite yet, and I will update everyone on the status of the first book. Either when I edit a chapter or when I post up a new chapter. But I eventually will explain and go into more detail about connection and what I plan for it in the future.

So without further ado

Caio~

welp i have returned!

after like what? two years since i was last on DA?
dang TWO whole years I've been gone..... goodness i am really bad at remembering to log onto these things. welp i'm back for sure this time and i will FINALLY be making revamped version's of my oc's and working on a story of mine that's been in the work's since high-school!
so be on the lookout for that! ^-^ i will be posting alot more often for sure!
and i apologize greatly for having not been on my DA sooner i have been busy with attempting college (then proceeding to fail said college),getting a new laptop....(R.I.P old laptop) getting a job, moving and cleaning up my life metaphorically speaking. it's still not the best life but i'm getting there! ^-^

so for the updated version of my oc's i will be working on them.....once i start refresh my memory of them, based on how they look(considering i was a fledgling at paint back then) they haven't aged very well, and the original story i had for most of them wasn't thought out the best back then. but hey I've improved and gotten better at both aspect's of writing and art (mostly) so i will start working on my characters once i get to it! ^-^

meanwhile i do have picture's that are ready to post and i will post some this weekend at the latest. if i don't then i most likely forgot or got busy, but i will improve with my scheduling it will help me and you awesome guys and gal's out as well so i don't leave you all hanging in the wind again.....(again i apologize for that)

i also have gotten myself a tumblr if anyone is interested in checking it out, i don't have any art of mine posted on it yet(mostly just meme's and cool art stuff i found on tumblr cause i'm a huge nerd)here's the link:  imadork727.tumblr.com/ i will change up some thing's on their eventually and i'l post on here if i post some of my art on their.

finally the second to last thing i have to talk about. the story i'm working on currently, i have been working on said story for about four years now (since my junior year of highschool) and OH BOY is it a big one. it has been through so many changes and fixes to the story and characters in said story and all i will say is that i have worked on this with my heart and soul put into it. and i will eventually begin to tell you all about the basic story and plot for it when its ready for it. all i will say about it for now is alternate timelines/dimensions and lots and lots of different creatures involved in the story. 

and now finally a message to all of you who have been wished me a happy birthday thank you very much for the birthday wishes. i kinda chuckled a little at them because it's June currently and my birthday is in July so next month so my birthday is actually coming up very soon lol. i also wish to thank all of you who have stayed with me throughout the years and i again apologize for leaving DA for a long while there but i promise that i will not have that happen again.

so like always thank you all for reading this an i'll see you all later
ciao~syrenestardusty ^-^
