04/25/2010: Not Dead
No, I didn't die in the eruption. The volcanic ash is all being blown away from Iceland and we hardly even know it's there.I haven't really been writing, though, for several reasons. First, SoulSilver has been very distracting. Second, after focusing so much on writing in March, what with chapters 52 and 53 and the April Fools' chapter, I've been focusing a bit more on The Cave of Dragonflies, both with the capture mechanics, Voltorb Flip guide, the upcoming humongous HG/SS Changes section and the eleventh movie review. Third, my laptop has decided to overheat and turn itself off regularly, which makes me considerably more apprehensive about doing any serious writing on it for fear of it being lost just as I'm in the middle of an exciting paragraph. Fourth, when I do have the opportunity to write, I'm trying to finish chapter thirteen of Morphic, which people have been waiting for for way long and which I'm kind of excited about finishing once I get past this annoying part.
Fifth, even though there is a scene I'm looking much forward to in this chapter, I have a bit of the ordinary block when it comes to the beginning of it; though I've typed the first couple of paragraphs, I don't really like them and have yet to properly decide how much detail I want to go into about what's going on there.
On the plus side, I might be finishing this spin-off one-shot about Spirit's backstory at some point. And yeah, I'll get around to chapter 54 eventually.

I was a little worried there :0
It's nice to know that you're alive, and I agree that SoulSilver is extremely distracting..Nice to see you're feeling productive though ^^
(to the competitive types…first comment)

Great to hear that there's progress at least. I'm actually looking forward to reading the next chapters of both fics, so either one works for me.
And another one-shot as well? Butterfree, you never cease to impress. Keep up the good work, and don't die in a volcano!

First forum member!
If you would have looked at the forum, Butterfree already said there that the ashe is being blown away, can't wait for the Morphic chapter!

Well that's nice.

Heh, if you watch the guestbook, then it should've been obvious, that's the first thing I did, and ended up being the first to speak of the eruption at that. Lol @ how no one there cares since it's all blowing away.

P.S.: "Carvanha" is rather hard to spell. In fact, it's probably the hardest. Lol. Might want to add that to the "Gotta Spell em All" list…

Ooh, Morphic! and a Spirit One-shot? that sounds awesome.
ShadowNc (04/26/2010 22:00:26)
There was a volcano eruption in Iceland? Wow, I need to watch the news more. Well, I'm glad you're OK. I guess nobody else knows the ending of TQFTL except you, so we'd probably go insane with speculations. :P

i know what you mean about the game I've got HEART GOLD and I'm glad your trying to make progress.

…was that first remark because of me? I wonder how many people actually were afraid of that…
Can't wait for Morphic! And the Spirit one-shot sounds interesting.
Butterfree (04/27/2010 02:07:00)
You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me "I just heard about the eruption! Are you okay?" in the last couple of weeks. :P

I'm only on a couple days a week these days. I can't be competetive with comments much. T-T
Nice to know you aren't dead. :P
Eternal (04/27/2010 04:32:43)
oh dear. I have the same problem with my laptop, though its been getting somewhat better lately at least. Good luck getting that, Morphic, and your site sorted though.
And looking forward to spirit's backstory.

Spirts backstory sounds awesome, but i'd rather you get that chapter done.*taps foot impatiently*
