Chapters: 16/? Fandom: Five Nights at Freddy's Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con, Major Character Death Series: Part 1 of Missing Gears AU Summary:

One morning, FazCo Sent you an offer that you couldn't refuse. However, upon taking the job, you quickly discover that you may have bitten off more than you can chew with this one. With an understanding of AI's and Robotics, you thought you had expected the worst, but that sadly was only the best-case scenario, as you are quick to find out from the "beloved" daycare attendant.

Something horrible is happening, and it is up to you and a few helpless animatronics to figure out how to stop it before things get any worse.

Dark Zagi, sitting on the edge of R/n's bed: I scare people lots because I walk very softly and they don't hear me enter rooms so when they turn around I'm just kind of there and their fear fuels me...

R/n, she's a hugging stuffed version of Nexus: how did you get in my house?

Dark Zagi, leans in close: Exactly.~

[Nexus sort of flashes into the room, he get one look at Zagi looming over R/n and turns into Noa then god punches Zagi out of R/n's home.]

Basically me carrying over screenshots of those rambly Tumblr asks, over to the Archive for the non-Tumblr users to be able to see.

Plus some extra things. Like an entire photo album.

And such.

Bumblebee Week Day 5 - Disability

Scattered dreams Collect what I used to be This fight is an infinite maze A hunt but without the chase Reject the cure My symptoms, your metaphor Immortal yet still so feeble Half human addictive evil For a life I obsessed you Now its time to forget you And no matter how hard, I try Cross your heart and swear you'll try I am full of forgiveness Let me out of this illness There's a reason I stand revived No more fears where tears don't dry

This is Osarx! fankid of Sfarx & Oscuri, her origins are very different yet similar to some degree in EJ Reborn AU & Medic of Luna that being still being created by a flower egg! The one on the left is from EJ Reborn AU; she's born from an egg made from a magic flower ritual dance that was performed on accident by the jesters & Oscuri when they took a break at helping survivors they wondered a field that was surrounded by blue glowing flowers that only bloom in moon light/night time. they thought it was a good place to relax but weren't expecting to have an egg be created by the flowers when the scent made them suddenly dance together, after it was over they both freak out but decide not to abandon the egg taking it home & show EJ, trying to figure out what happened but once they gave it enough warmth while holding it in a blanket Osarx hatches (similar to a Chao from Sonic Adventure) Sfarx was going to call her whopper jr but EJ told them to pick a better name because he wasn't going to repeat all that, so Sfarx ends up combing their & Oscuri's name for their daughter.

The one on the right is from Medic of Luna, this is canon Osarx! During a fight with their combat datas they come across an abandoned SEEK lab underground with a field of bio flowers growing below, the Sfarx clone gets heavily injured by CD Sfarx spilling his blood on some of the flowers while Oscuri is dealing with CD Oscuri she makes her back off by cutting her tail & ripping an arm off of the evil copy. His henchmen in pain forces CD Sfarx to retreat back in the simulation's out of bounds area with her to find a way to regrow her tail & arm back. However Oscuri earlier on also had her blood shed on the bioflowers so during all this it gave them enough time to close & create the egg. After the fight was over Oscuri is tending to Sfarx wounds & freaks out when the egg is bouncing towards them & get confused when they hear giggling inside it. They both gently lift the egg up & thanks to Sfarx's & Oscuri's DNA Osarx is able to hatch already at the age of 8 with clothing that resembles a mix of his jacket, boots, gloves, her ninja suit, & a tail that resemble a pincher bug's. She heard the brawl that was going on & says to her parents thats she's really to help take down their CDs, not knowing she would struggle fighting the spliced CD Spawn during their encounters to save Luna from crashing into Earth.

Both share being cyborgs, having electricity & venom, immunity to toxic hazards, ninja skills, feral, don't like relaying on weapons instead use their abilities to fight & heterochromatic eye colors!

I need input involving my story.

Just as a warning, this is a long post, but I have a point to make and a valid question involving my story.

Hi, I'm the writer of the DCA fic Missing Gears on AO3. I've been working on this since Oct of 2023 and posted it Dec of the same year, meaning I've been working on this bad boy off and on for over a year. (I admit that there was a long hiatus between posts because of health issues)

That said, my total word count as of Chapter 15 is sitting at 53,210. On my Doc's, however, it is a different story. I currently have 206,395 words totaling across 18 tabs. I'll be it; a lot of notes are there, but I tend to cut a lot out for readability and to make the Chapters more digestible. I added a scene or two back into the story in my post edits from time to time. Mostly, I've been keeping each chapter 2000-4000 words with a few exceptions. Now, most of that is because of retention. I typically find that people like to be able to read the whole chapter in one go... or so was my assumption, but someone recently pointed it out to me that a lot of the more popular stories have 10,000-word long chapters or could have it as short as a 1000-word chapter. It depends on the audience.

So, my question is, if I overhaul my story to put back in the bits I cut out to make it a shorter chapter or to improve the story flow, would people want longer chapters with more content? It wouldn't change the assigned story beat in each chapter, as I have that charted, but because of the longer chapters, the pacing will feel much slower from chapter to chapter. There would be more extended conversations and in-depth descriptions, giving better context to the environment and/or things like the horror aspects that are missed because I can only mention them in passing in the current format.

Sorry for the long post, but this has bothered me since I picked it up again in Oct after I got out of the hospital.
