User blog:Rhonda the stalker fan!/Late Monthly Update Blog :P

Just wanted to do one of these to like keep people updated. And I do have a bit to say.

Real Life
Some of you may have noticed that I disappeared for like a month or so. Sorry about that, it's put me really behind, but it has good reasoning.

For one, my grades were slipping and grades have to come first sadly. But they're repaired and I managed to avoid failing :D

Second, I had been doing after-school activities. The after-school activities had been getting progressively longer so I had very little time to communicate. But the biggest activity I was in has ended, so I have more time :3

The other reasons are a bit more private. I had a pretty big change in my family life, with a new stepparent. It's been something that has been happening for along time now (I actually remember reading a chapter of the now cancelled story Total Drama City when this stuff was beginning. I'm pretty sure it was when I was starred as an intern :3).

The other reason is cause...I kind of was in relationship. I say kind of, because it was not good and did not end well. Not at all. I don't really care to say too much about it, but this place is kinda like home so I do feel like it'd be okay to share.

Sorry about all that stuff, hopefully life won't get in the way anymore :P

Total Drama All Stars
Just thought I'd comment on my thoughts on this so far. This season has been the straw that's broke the camel's back; it's officially made me give up on hope of a new season pleasing me more than upsetting me. I'll still watch future seasons, but I'll be pretty sad.

Overall my feeling is...meh. The good parts have been alright for the most part, and the bad parts have been eye-rolling or sighing for the most part. But it seems to be more bad parts to me.

I also just find it so predictable. Like this Mal plot, we aren't gonna pretend we don't know how this goes right? Mike will regain control, Mal will be defeated, Zoey and Mike will still hook up. Hopefully I'm wrong and it'll turn out to be more interesting or a bit of a twist. But do you really think it will?

Sorry, I know people have been enjoying it. I do think it is good on some parts, and put together pretty well. I'll probably talk about it more in a blog solely about it. I'd just thought I'd share my thoughts (and because most people will comment about it :P).

Newsletter
I still want to do this, and am planning on merging the two months I've kinda missed. Naturally that means I'm going to have to find time to talk to people, so not sure when this will come out. If you had a story update in September or October and would like it to be noted in the Newsletter please tell me :3

If you were featured for any of those months, I also wanna interview when we both have the chance. And if you wanna do any articles for it, tell me so and you gladly can :3 I also need someone to interview Nellie for her FC win, preferably someone caught up on her story.

Stories
Wow that was a great transition to talk about my stories :P

So the newest chapter of Total Drama What The Heck? has it's first part out. I really liked writing pretty much all of it. I'd talk about it more but I don't wanna spoil it ;)

I'll probably be putting this chapter up in parts, because it is a bit big. If you read it better in parts feel free to start :P If you prefer to read the whole thing at once, it'll be out in full soon (hopefully).

If you are behind or haven't started I'd recommend it. ALOT happens this chapter, with stuff that has been building and hinted revealed and things from the beginning coming to a point here. It's pretty exciting. And weirdly stupid. But in an enjoyable way :) I also previously mentioned that if reader interest or support was high I'd allow the reader's some influence on the story. So that's another reason to catch up :P

Christmas time is close too! I'll try to revive my christmas story, but if it doesn't go it might just be cancelled and be revived in the future.

Update: Sprink's Stories
Just a quick update on Sprink's stories. So far his first, second, third and fourth story have been all deleted. Total Drama Time Travel has also been deleted. I have copies in word documents of the stories and a few character pages if anyone is ever interested in reading them.

And if there are any admins out there who haven't started helping with deletion, please do! I know it's sad, but it was the general consensus reached several times. I don't know who else has done much, but it's mostly been Gideon. I've been trying to help, but a lot more help would be severely appreciated.
