Hey all! So, some news: my health took a bit of a nose-dive this Friday, and long story short, I’m looking at some cardiovascular problems and/or potentially some new neurological issues. Very unfun, and a lot of follow-up appointments, which means the next chapter of Re: MHNY may be postponed 1-2 weeks. My apologies for the delay.
Ch 15 and onwards are all pretty done, but Ch 10 - 14 are being rewritten from scratch since I deviated from my original concept. There’s going to be lots of deleted scenes published when this is over, but since we’re already on the subject:
Originally, Dib was actually going to be aware Gaz was staying at Zim’s. Their original plan in Ch 5 was a success, and Dib spent awhile frothing in Australia trying to figure out how to get back and “rescue” his sister. However, I ended up staying truer to the original story by keeping the robot-Gaz. Dib will absolutely show up for tomfoolery and confrontation later, however, how he does so will remain a surprise ;) However, that does mean the blurbs I already had written are now useless, which is okay, as this rewrite has a lot more of a focus on the dynamic between our favorite siblings. While this is primarily a ZAGR story, I really Gaz and Dib to have their moments as well that set the foundation for their later relationship. They’re never going to be mushy Brady Bunch kids, but there’s a root loyalty that I want to establish in this story for later reasons.
As soon as I have an idea of when the next chapter is coming out, I’ll be sure to update you guys here, so keep an eye out. Thank you for your patience and understanding 💜 Zim will be back to simp over Gaz as soon as I got my thumper running proper.
