Hello, everyone!

So... April. The first event for Chapter 2-Undead is also written! YEAAAAAAH It has 29k. Help xD

The second event for chapter 2, however, hasn't been started yet. Mainly because I noticed, FINALLY, that a single general guide for the chapter, with main happenings noted, isn't enough for an IF; it works wonderfully with books and novels for me, but with an IF, choices and variations and so on, it... Ends up lacking.

As a result, I'm doing a guide passage-by-passage for the rest of the chapter, noting in it which choices are made in which passage, how they can influence, what exactly I pretend to write in the passage and so on. It's not a "final" guide, during the writing some things may change for whatever reason and so on, but it will make writing in itself easier.

While I totally did intend for finishing the guide this month so I could keep going on the chapter; I was supposed to have a test for a government job May 5th, and had pretty much been going insane most of April, trying to cram more study and so on and didn't manage to focus so much on writing the guide. Key word, supposed: it is a nation-wide test (more than 2million people inscribed for the Brazilian government try and fill a bunch of vacancies in some public institutes and so on), the first of its type, and it May 3rd they made the decision to postpone it (the rains and flood in the state of Rio Grande do Sul the reason. Things are bad down there. Pray for them)

The sudden change of plans made my brain go pretty much haywire with the change; I watched the Fallout series and loved it, but hadn't really been interacting in the fandom because of the so called test; with it not as urgent... I wanted theories and to write fanfiction, so my brain could, you know... Relax. As a result, I spent three or four days writing a Norm Maclean x OC fanfiction (I LOVE THE SHORT KING, ALL RIGHT?). It's far from finished but I've exorcised most of the main ideas from my brain (it has already 12,7k words and I'm really shocked it's the most I've ever written in such a short time help), so now I'm back on track: writing the guide, still studying for the test... And occasionally writing the fanfiction. (and seeing the news about the rains and floods and feeling helpless and worried but I have just so much emotional battery so trying to not burn myself out with the worrying)

So... That's that. It had actually been ages since I had actually dedicated myself to a long fanfiction and it has been a good writing exercise, having to worry about someone's else canon for writing beyond one shots and short pure self-indulgence pieces that will probably never see the light of day lol (that I'll probably repeat eventually in another way)

WoMG keeps going, stronger than before I risk saying. And it will keep going.

(Also with the bad news of a bunch of studios from some of my favorite games being closed by Microsoft, I'm feeling more pumped to write a The Evil Within FAN-IF, because its studio is one of the closed ones, and I want to write for others too. Don't find it weird if someday still this year after a lot of planning learned from WoMG I end up announcing something for then. I still can't believe they closed the studios for The Evil Within and Prey 2017)

Love you all! Thank you for the patience and support, and stay safe!
