Hey, so I don’t want to alarm anyone but I’m feeling very disconnected with this story and like im mischaracterising Stanley and Fiddleford tremendously.
Unfortunately, I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my writing and it’s starting to really irk me.
I want to do my digital Legends and portray them in their most accurate light, but I feel like I’m doing them a disservice with this fan fiction.
I know I told myself when I started this that this was going to be purely indulgent and a “for me fic”
But I don’t think I’m even doing it for myself anymore.
I’m not saying I’m quitting uploading and stopping this thick altogether because at the end of the day I still want to write but in future writing I might Retcon Old chapters to make the characterisation make more sense.
Still not sure what the future for this vehicle has in store and if you have any tips or suggestions feel free to tell me!
I think I challenged myself by putting these characters on unusual environment and I want to make two things more clearer.
1. I want to make Fiddleford seem like a more unstable and anxious character. I feel like he’s too calm in this and that just doesn’t reflect his mental state in the original show or my fic.
2. I feel like Stanley is losing a lot of his charms so I want to make him more funny. Also, I want to make him more closed off and less emotionally mature I feel like he’s weirdly emotionally mature in this..
3. I really need to figure out whether I want for to go full mad man or just snarky evil from the beginning.
I keep on going back-and-forth between these two tropes and I need to make my mind up.
4. Quicken the pacing because I feel like this is gonna go the same route as “the inside” if I don’t.
(if you don’t know that was my big arcade fanfiction that fell short)
Sorry to excite anyone who has this book marked and was excited to see another chapter but I feel like this makes more sense to post as it’s own chapter since it’s a big announcement.
I’m also working on my main Au, which I’ve been procrastinating doing for a while because I feel like people won’t read it since it includes three OCs that are original to its story and that’s not something people always want to read about.
I will say it’s very slow burn BillFord and there is a fiddlestan element to it as well that I’m planning out, but if you’re not interested in that, I’m sure I’ll still be posting on this semi regularly but you know me..
Apart from that, my schoolwork is absolutely killing me. I go to too different school schools since I work online and I have twice as much work because of that and it’s a pain in the butt, especially for someone who has no ADHD medication… and I say this because I have ADHD.
Thanks for reading this update!
