User blog:Jkl9817/2K

So, this is it. According to the editmeter on my profile, the publication of this blog marks my 2000th edit on this wiki. It's been just a little less than three years since I joined, which doesn't make for a very high edit frequency, but I guess that's appropriate given my tendency to go missing for extended periods. And, even though numbers are a social convention and everything is just a big illusion and who cares about milestones?, I figured it'd be fitting for me to acknowledge the big 2K in some manner.

This blog would be that manner; in it, I'm going to, in that order, go over my story on this wiki, make a few updates regarding my projects including TDSA, meditate on my future here and what it may hold for you, my beloved readers :3 :3 <333 XOXOXOXO, and thank some people. Let's jump right in, shall we?

My story on this wiki
Let's see. In 2000 edits, I have started four long-term stories and posted two shorter ones. None of my longer stories is finished. I have had one Featured Quote, and no other Featureds whatsoever. I gave Reddy the idea to write the infamous PAJAMA blog. I got the admins to give a pass on a front page redesign, and then on another front page redesign because the first one flopped; I resurrected the Wiki Awards and then disappeared before I could take proper care of them; I wrote a popular blog series about the best cartoons of the decade, which sparked a mini-fad that never actually took off; my most popular project was a blog series that made fun of other people's better stories. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my story.

Updates and a super-special preview
First of all, Total Drama Socially Awkward will continue. I know I'm a month and a half late, but I still intend to post chapters regularly. The only difference is that as of today, they will be posted on the third Saturday of each month. The second chapter has just been posted, so go read it if you care about your children. I mean, uh, sorry, that was a bit harsh. What I meant to say was please go read it if you care about your children. What's that? Nobody on this wiki has children? Good Lord, I'd make an awful adman. Well, anyway, stay tuned for the next chapters, and I should also inform you that I'm going to be posting them to fanfiction.net from here on out.

Moreover, I am going to post the next chapter of my TDI reimagining at some undefined point in the near future, mostly because it kind of overlaps with TDSA so I need both to still be going. But I feel like I should warn you now that I have absolutely no idea what to do with that story going forward. It's at risk of having an even worse final stretch than the original TDI. Same goes for An atmosphere, not that anybody cares about that one. Like I said numerous times, I don't know how I'm going to finish that story and odds are that I'll be too old to write when I do.

Those are the updates I needed to give. To make up for the delay in TDSA, here's a sneak peek from a later chapter (WARNING: curse words abound):


 * An awkward beat followed, and then I asked, "So... now we just go into the darkness and hope there are no strange cave creatures lurking us?"


 * "There's a switch..." I could hear the eyeroll in Angie's voice.


 * "Are you scared of the dark?" Trixie asked. She seemed closer than everybody else.


 * "Fuck you!" I shouted.


 * Then Benson giggled and said, "He is."


 * I heard everybody laugh, and got up to ask "Well, I sure as fuck ain't the only one! Right?"


 * An even longer beat followed, and then Nathaniel, of all people, spoke up. "Well, I have to say I am a little scared too."


 * "Racist," Trixie expectorated.


 * "Need I remind you I am also a part of this God-condemned race?" Nathaniel ranted.


 * "None taken," my brother quipped.


 * "Guys!" Angie broke off the growing skirmish. Per usual. "You really need to go now."


 * "I ain't hearing you walk, Mrs. Theta," Trixie defied her.


 * "That's because if I leave too soon, you guys will fuck things up somehow! You are coming very close with me still here!"


 * "What kind of team name is that anyway?" Kurt moaned. "Theta Squadron."


 * "It sounds like tit." Trixie chuckled.


 * "Everything sounds like tit to you, Trixie!" Jane accused her.


 * "Well, at least I have tits!"


 * "GUYS!!"


 * Angie got everyone to shut up, except Trixie still threw a long, afflicted grunt into the ensuing silence. I used the opportunity to try and grope the walls in search of a light switch.

I know, so interesting. If you ever want to know the context of that passage, be sure to read TDSA. ;D

About the future
I'm gonna be honest here. I would probably not still be around if I didn't have confidence in my projects. I mean, I love you guys and all, but there are simply more important things in a man's life than writing fanfiction. But, as it happens, I have a sizable bunch of not-yet-started projects that I really kind of look forward to writing, including but not limited to TDSA. As you may or may not have inferred from my one-shot Courtney and Sierra's Very Personal Predicament, I have taken it upon myself to write something truly worth the trouble in the fanfiction format. And though I can't really go around giving you plot details on every single one of those projects, here are a few summaries that I hope will spark your interest:


 * Untitled #2 A yet-to-be-determined character’s effort to sneak some alcohol into Camp Wawanakwa quickly gains the unwanted involvement of many a cast member and ends up turning into a ridiculously awry overnight misadventure.
 * 12-month Chronicles Chris McLean’s year in prison between Total Drama: Revenge of the Island and Total Drama All-Stars.
 * Game Over With Total Drama Island over, the contestants return to the real world to find out that there has been a massive nuclear fallout in their absence.
 * Untitled #3 The daily life at a resting home which, by chance, reunites most of the former TDI contestants at the end of their lives. Could feature a descendant of Chris McLean’s attempt to bring them into another Total Drama season.

Steal any of those concepts and I'll kill you and everybody you love. :)

Moving forward...

Thank you's
Well, I really don't feel like listing a bunch of people off the top of my head, in part because I'll almost certainly leave out a lot of important folks, so let me just say this: thank you all for tolerating me and my 2000 edits. Also, thank you, people who go on chat regularly, for putting up with my vertiginous successions of terrible jokes. Thank you, admins, for having always listened to me. Thank you, two Brazilian users I'm not naming, for bringing some of our ridiculous culture into the wiki and thus allowing me to make Faustão jokes on chat. And thank you, Ben109, for FINALLY signing those divorce papers and getting it over with. You made the right decision.

I guess that's it; if you've read all of this, I should probably thank you, too. Please don't feel obliged to comment; it's not like I cured cancer or anything. 2000 edits isn't even that much for someone who's been here longer than several admins. So, um... okay then. 9817 out.
