Sorry for this small update, just wanted to say some stuff
First, I am alive and kind of well. Now for the important stuff.
I might not be able to update the story for a bit. Yes, I am still writing here and there, but I might not have a ton of time.
First, I need to take my TSI test to transfer to the college where I already have an apartment for already...Sssoo yyeaa. Also, I need to study a bit for it before I take it.
And need to get a job. I am already applying for many jobs, and hope to get a good job. I am applying to fast food places and a Cinemark job that I hope to get.
yea, pretty scary! A job! No, but seriously, I am in college and still never had a job, so I will I am kind of a failure. Anyways, Just wanted to update you guys.
Anyways, here is the progress.
Created 2 new chapters, rewrote the first chapter, and added a short intro of the character, but deleted it or well put it in the end. Not a ton of work but to be honest I was a bit burned out and shit. Also, I have a life! Although not much. I also read a ton, so that might slow me too....
The two new chapters are chapters 2 and 3, where it builds on MC and Wallflower's tragic life a bit. I mean, think about it. She is always lonely and forgotten, so I am expanding a bit on that.
Anyways, sorry for the update and taking so long, but I want this to be good enough to post in Famficion, where many MLP fanfics go. I want to build something good, unlike most fanfics here that are just made in AI and nothing else.
.....
Look i am going to be honest, I do use a bit AI but only to rewrite my shit and make it smoother because my shit is trash if I dont rewrite it.

For example:
(No AI rewrite):
After a hard day of school in middle school I deserve a good snack! After leaving school and heading to my Starfalls car where he already opened the door but along the way I saw Wallflower. I turned right the fuck around and walked towards her. When she saw me she was startled.
"Hey Wallflower"
"Uh?"
"I heard a new popular candy store opened called Sugarcube Corner want to go??"
For a long time she hesitated and looked down, pulling her old sweater sleeves down.
"...I have no money for snacks"
"I invited you so I will pay"
"Oh okay, yes please!"
God she looked adorable. I pulled Wallflower and we both entered my car. Now you might be asking did you just kidnapped a kid! Hell na. I decided to bring Wallflower because first, she is my only friend and second she is poor…
Not in that way its just…she..her..her family are kind of like me. She is often forgotten and most of the time abandoned one time she sleepover and they didn't notice she was gone! Shit they don't even pick her up!
(With AI rewrite):
After a hard day of school in middle school, I deserve a good snack! I left school and headed to Starfall's car in the car pickup area, where he already had the door open for me. But along the way, I spotted Wallflower. Right then, I turned right the fuck around and walked over to her. She looked like she was about to jump out of her skin when she saw me coming.
"Hey, Wallflower."
"Uh?" She sounded like she hadn't expected anyone to actually talk to her.
"I heard there's a new candy store that just opened called Sugarcube Corner. Want to go?"
She just stood there for a minute, looking down and messing with her old sweater sleeves..
"...I have no money for snacks," she mumbled, barely above a whisper.
"I invited you, so I'll pay," I said with a big innocent smile.
"Oh. Okay, yes please!" She finally smiled, and honestly, she looked so damn adorable.
I pulled Wallflower with me, and we both climbed into my car. And before you even ask, no, I didn't just kidnap a kid. I brought Wallflower along because, first, she's literally my only friend, and second, she's poor…not in a 'sad violin' kind of way, just…her family's kind of like mine.
She's always getting forgotten, sometimes straight-up abandoned. One time she stayed over at my place for a whole night and her parents didn't even notice she was gone. Hell, they don't even bother to pick her up most days. She walks home. She thinks no one notices but I do…

Yes, this is part of chapter 2. Look I want my story to be easy to read, meanwhile I could go back and edit. My editing...Not going to lie... it's pretty bad when I do it, so unless I hire an editor, which I have no money for! Then AI will have to work for now. I still do edit it since some of the AI stuff it pushes out is so bad for example sometimes It makes mistakes in names, or always, I fucking swear it uses Similies or metaphors so much!
Anyways sorry for using AI but holy shit is my charcter interactions sometimes off sometimes..not really most interactions stay mostly the same but just phrased better. Anyways, yeah, just came to say this. I do create the story, but ChatGPT does rewrite it for me like an editor, that's why I focus on the world building, interaction and etc. Since that makes it human. I do one day wish I could rewrite my stuff, but I don't know if I'm good enough for that. I am adding more emotion to the story by adding problems that the MC or other characters can't defeat by punishing, but by talking.
Anyway, I will start working and trying to do some stuff on the side like my TSI. Just wanted to say I am not dead, and no, I am not doing this for money like many other writers do. I do have Patreon, but it is just to view other content that is.. let's just say spicy and some stories by other writers. I am just a fan writing fanfic of my favorite kids show when I was young and maybe one day write my own book without any AI...one day...
Anways, goodbye guys for a bit...My ChatGPT subscription is expiring, and I have no money..Damn.. I guess I am going to write like Hamilton...Like he's writing out of time.
