Sorry for the clickbait title, but I need you guys to know what's going on.

So I decided to start to catch up on the new episodes of Steven Universe, and it made me want to write fanfiction.

I suddenly remembered that I had this one together with the first story, so for some reason, I decided to read through the entirity of these two stories.

Lately, I have been starting to critique my work much more, and I've been hestitant to put online new chapters, because of that.

But reading back these fanfictions made me realise how in the start, I didn't care about the reads or the votes on a story, I didn't even remotely care how good it was. Writing the stories was just for fun, and being able to share them with others was nice, but I didn't do it for the votes (that doesn't mean I don't appreciate each and every one of them and that it doesn't make me happy whenever I see that someone has voted or commented on one of these chapters). Back then, I hardly even cared about using good grammar (I mean, I used to use maby instead of maybe oops).

And I believe that writing stuff, especially fanfictions, is supposed to be just harmless fun, and that you shouldn't care about votes, comments, or reads at all.

So here's what I'm going to do:

As you might have noticed, I have deleted chapter five and six, as this is supposed to be Steven Universe, not Rick and Morty, inserting that into this story was just a stupid idea.

I'm already starting to write a new chapter five, and I'm not going to think about consistency, or strange plot developments, I'm just going to write with the inspiration that I have, and make the best out of it, like I used to do.

Sure, my writing might be a bit "mature" (I'll use that word for the lack of a better one), but I just want to know what it feels like to write some stupid fanfic that's only there to make people laugh at how stupid me and my writing actually are. (And perhaps at the jokes? :)

There might be a possibility that, if I seem to enjoy doing this, that I'll post some stories online that I wrote whenever I was bored in class. Expect cringy, fluffy, shameless self-insert stories, that are just gonna be fun for me to write. (For my Dutch readers: I will make a separate book with Dutch stories that I wrote before I decided that I was better in expressing my feelings in English than my bloody native language, for some reason.)

So for the people who liked the old style of writing (which you probably do, considering you made it through the entirity of the first book (including the cringy "maby")), I think this is an idea you might like. Tell me what you think! =D

And no, I'm not going to edit book one or chapters 1 through 4 of this one, as they have become sort of a memorial for me, especially the first book. So sorry you have to read through terrible spellings of maybe, but honestly, I can't bring myself to change it. It would be like deleting a part of my past. (I might make a rewrite, though, that has the exact same story, but better spelling and grammar. Not sure. What do you think?)

I am probably going to go back to 600-word chapters as well, as they are a lot less stressful to me than having to write a full-length one. Just wanted to squeeze that in real quick.

Anyways, this chapter has been going on for long enough. Back to writing I go!
