Will you write chapter 24 for act 6?

Hey friend! Thanks so much for reaching out! In all honesty, we kinda lost track of time since it is an incredibly busy time for us - Roxy is finishing their final film for uni, and we’re moving across the country in about two weeks, and it’s all just been a bit of a hectic time.

The next chapter is, in fact, already written - we always try to stay a few chapters ahead of publishing to allow for editing and of course the wonderful illustrations and animations to be made. 

At the moment, we just have a few things that are a bit more high priority than writing EtV, so while we definitely aren’t done and won’t stop writing and publishing, we’re taking a small hiatus. I meant to write a post about it a while ago but it kinda got lost among all the other stuff. Sorry about that!

Anyway, we’re currently expecting the hiatus to end by the end of the month. June 1st is a Saturday so for now we’ll aim for that. Cus by then uni will be over, we’ll have settled in our new place, and things should just be a lot calmer. 

Really sorry to have left you on a cliffhanger! If you’re desperate to read more, you can find us on Patreon where we’ve published the next chapter already!

Just to warn you, though, it’s an intermission - a flashback chapter, so you won’t get the resolution to the cliffhanger. Sorry!

We’ll be back!

Roxy & Onyx

I just started reading your fic and I love it! Out of curiosity, what age are the teacher characters?

Hello! Thanks so much for your message, we love hearing from people who like our fic :)

So here are some ages of relevant staff characters in our fic - we’ll say at the start of the fic just so we account for like birthdays and stuff (we have no idea when most of their birthdays are... but we do have a pretty good idea how old they are)

Rose Quartz: 28

Aurora: 24

Principal Marigold Diamond: 54

Lapis Lazuli: 29 

Jasper: 32

Peridot: 26

Hope this helps! :D

its really unfair I write fanfic and it gets basically no attention at all and I see yours and it has hundreds of comments???howis your fic so popular

I feel this a lot tbh because before EtV none of my fics got much recognition

I think it’s a mixture of our weekly and predictable update schedule which has been continuing on since literally May last year, which draws people in basically on a weekly basis as they discover the fic through different ways - and also the fact that Ronnie (@sockseevil) has had quite a few very popular fics so we might still be riding on the coattails of that one. We also have had illustrations (and pretty amazing ones at that!) since the very start which will lure people in additionally.

Also, about two thirds of the comments on Ao3 are either from us, replying to comments, or from the same 2-3 people commenting on almost every new chapter.

I mean, there’s also always a bunch of luck involved and I’m sorry your fics haven’t gotten much attention.

I dunno man but I for one am hecka grateful for our loyal fanbase. <3

How do you put images in your fic chapters? Great fan fic btw I love it

Thank you so much!! Do you mean on Ao3 or tumblr? Because on tumblr it’s just a matter of adding the images to your posts, which you can do in the body of the text by starting a new paragraph and clicking “insert photo” (the little camera symbol that comes up). This only works on web, not on the mobile app, as far as I know!

As for Ao3, I’ve written an entire post about it here!

Hope this helps! Thank you for your reply :)

Hi! So im about to start reading but before i do, do yall recommend reading on tumblr or AO3? :0

Hey hey, thank you so much for your interest in our fic :D

Reading on Ao3 is probably going to give you a better reading experience - not all the links are entirely up to date on tumblr so it might be a bit of a faff getting all of the chapters in the correct order. But if you’re reading on mobile, the images might be formatted a bit better on tumblr.

But yeah overall Ao3 is probably better!

allenbyseyes replied to your photoset “Our Diamond Bomb kicks off tonight at 10pm UK time. A chapter a day...”

So looking forward to this! Yours was one of the first SU fics I really followed and I'm super-interested to see where you take it!

Thank you so much!! We remember you from Ao3, it’s great to have your support on tumblr as well!!

Luckily for you, there will be a chapter a day for the next four days, so you won’t have to wait long :p

I love your work. Do you two have a Patreon?

We don’t! At least, not yet...

In fact, Ron and I talked about it and have decided to set one up. We’ll show you guys later!

Thank you so much for the suggestion, and thank you for writing!! It’s always so good to hear people like our work.

the-old-man-has-the-phonebox replied to your photo: “An exciting chapter is coming up tomorrow!! Here are the...” :

I have zero knowledge of the plot but if this is Yellow going for like, her Master’s or her Doctorate, and ends up rooming (somehow) with Rose, a freshman straight out of high school, I’ll scream and read this immediately.

Sadly it isn’t actually, it’s an incredibly long and convoluted high school AU where Yellow Diamond and Rose are both teachers. These illustrations are for Chapter 78 so out of context they might seem a little odd :D

That sounds like an amazing story idea though, and please be assured we have some Yellow Diamond and Rose interactions coming up in this fic!!

Also this is the first time we got a comment like this and it was met with great joy from both of us so thank you very much for commenting <3
