WRITING IS HARD

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

Hey y'all, guess who lied.

This fic isn't dead! [Yipee.mp3]

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

you're the person.

you're the person writing escaping virtuality

your fic is currently my favorite on ao3

because seeing caine suffer like this satisfies deep needs inside me yk (i like seeing my favorites cry)

tysm for creating it you are an amazing writer holy shit

AAAAAA thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like the fic so far hehe :) I really like Caine so it's really fun for me to write a little smth about him, but I also get to share if with you guys which is a fantastic added bonus!

I'm being so mean to him in the fic, and we all thrive in his suffering. We're so sadistic... AJFJG

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

I just read your escaping virtuality fic and GOD. THIS IS SO GOOD. EATING IT UP IT'S AMAZING. I love how you descrive Caine's feeling with his new body. Love how you write everyone!! I might have cried internally in the process but that's fine I love them. You are an amazing writer and you should know that (I also scrolled a bit in your art and you are a 2 in 1 when it comes to artistic skills) Wish you good luck for the writing and a well motivation and lack of artist/writer blocks!

Oh gosh, thank you sm!! It's been such a darn long time since I've last visited that fic, I almost forgot about it to be honest 💀 I genuinely did love writing it tho, it was really really fun, one of my proudest works (would be even better if it were, ya know... finished *cough cough*). Thank you tho! I've actually been thinking about getting back to it for a while now, so hopefully I work something out soon enough! Have some redraws I did of my old human designs for the gang :)

Whoop dee doo, y'all

Idea: everyone's abstraction looks different and the reason Kinger is so obsessed with insect collections is because Queenie turned into a massive mound of sentient writhing insects during her abstraction

HELLO, YES- THIS FIC IS STILL ALIVE

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

uh, here from the TADC fic, jst wondering, are u gonna do any more chapters coz it’s rlly good :3 (sorry if u already said smth about this)

Nop! I already answered the same question for another fella here, but dw about it :) I know a lot of people enjoyed my fic and were excited to see it continued, so I'm sorry about this :(

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

Hello, hello!! So, this is an ask I've been dreading for a while because, if I'm going to be completely honest with you, the answer is probably: no! I won't be continuing it. I put a lot of thought into this, and I've gone a bit back and forth as to whether or not I should restart writing it again... but in the end, I think I most likely will not be writing any more for this fic.

Long answer!

If you couldn't already tell, TADC was one of my shorter hyperfixations, and that coupled with the fact that I got a COLLOSSAL writers block right at the cusp end of my hyperfixation.... yeah, let's just say I lost motivation. I do apologize profusely to all of those who've been so excited to see this fic continued. Your support and comments genuinely warmed my heart and made me so happy, and also kinda sad because I knew there was a low chance of me ever picking it back up again! It is very disappointing since it has gotten an inordinate amount of traction on ao3 (I mean, 22 955 hits I INSANE for a small writer like me), and again, I am very sorry for this.

To be honest, I kind of expected to someday return to the fic once TADC gets a new update, maybe rekindle my interest for the fandom, but... nah, I'm not really feeling it. Even in light of the recent (fantastic!!) news of its return.

So! What's the future of this fic, you ask? Well, uhh. I'm soon going to post an update chapter onto the fic explaining the situation- and then post all of the rest of the story I had planned so far, the spoilers, the details and all the lore! I wouldn't want you guys to be left hanging, so I'll at least just answer some of your questions concerning the plot of the fic and where it was basically supposed to be heading. Take it as a farewell gift!

I've also made the decision to, in a way, "orphan" this fic and put it up for adoption! For uh... well, we'll see. I wasn't very social during my time in the fandom, so I don't have anyone in particular in mind to give this fic to. I might also just end up leaving it, let others have a go in continuing where I left off with their own unique storyline. Idk! It would be interesting tho!

In any case, I'm so so so glad that any who's read the fic enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. Thank you very much for your endless support and love for the fic, and I'll see the TADC fandom again someday! Who knows, I might end up writing another fic for it in the future...

(probably a one-shot, considering my rather unfortunate history with long fics)

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

@astralix13 lucky for you, I already have!

I think it would be funny if everyone manages to escape the Digital Circus in the end and they don't want Caine's AI to trap any more people so they somehow manage to drag him to the human world with them. Now the tables have turned and it's Caine's turn to be absolutely flabbergasted by reality and his new human body.

I blacked out and woke up with seven pages of the first chapter of this idea written down, what the fuck
