Fanfiction Down?


I don't know about you guys, but it seems to me that fanfiction is down. 

This is sad due to numerous reasons. First, and most important to you guys, I finished the next chapter!!! You are in a bit of luck though, as I just sent it to my beta reader and won't upload until tomorrow sometime at the earliest.

Now, just to touch a topic that has been bothering me for a while now...
I know this blog is pretty new, and that I have a pretty small fan base right now, and that you don't all have a ton of time, but I'd like to ask you guys to comment on these posts! Right here on the blog! I do try to update about once a day, but it's dishearting to find no one responding...or sometimes even looking. 

I'm a very busy person, even now during the summer, and here's why...
I am in 4-H, meaning I do several projects for the fair. I've been working on them little by little, but I hardly have anything done, and I have some projects that I have yet to start. This is a big worry since the fair is in just about two and a half weeks. I have no idea how I'm going to finish this stuff! Along with that, I have several graphics projects I've been working on, such as my Disney Trip Bucket List...which you can find on my other blog Everyday Disney (www.everydaydisney.blogspot.com). That took a large portion of my day today! Next up is the one you all care about...40 Days. Lately, I've been writing a chapter every 2-3 days...and that's writing pretty fast. I am more often sitting at a computer than I am doing anything else (Excluding sleeping!) And finally...I am working on something new. I have always admired people who do vlogs...and in preparation for my trip to Florida, I'm going to try and start one...but it will have plenty of different sections. I hope to work on some of that tomorrow morning when I have the house to myself, as it's just easier when no one else is around. =) 

Anyway, so that's what I've been up to lately...and please please please leave some comments on here so I know you guys are alive! =) And finally, just to give you all a little sneak peek for looking at the blog...here is a selection out of the next chapter:

“Han?” Leia asked. “How did you do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs if a parsec is a unit of distance, not time. It’s impossible to…”

“Don’t you ever listen…I say never tell me the odds. Now, to answer your question. Thanks to the special modifications I’ve made to the Falcon, she’s able to navigate closer to black holes and asteroid fields than most ships. The average distance of the Kessel run while still in the save zone is 12 parsecs, but because I can cut so close, I can shave off half a parsec or so on the actual distance it takes me. Pretty tricky stuff, huh Princess?”

“I suppose that makes sense.”

“Well of course it does! I’m always…”

[We know Cub, you’re always right] interjected the wookie.

Han just smirked back at his co-pilot.

“Except for a few times” Leia pointed out, holding back a laugh as she ate another spoonful of stew.

“What are you talking about Your Highness?”

“Well, there was that time back on Yavin, when you said Alderaanian Wine…”

“That was an honest mistake Sweetheart!” he pleaded, “I’m not some expert on wine!”

“But you were still wrong!”

“Fine fine, so maybe I’m not right all the time…but I am right a large majority of the time. I mean, if I hadn’t flown into that asteroid field…like I knew we should…we would all be dead!”

[That was a very dangerous, but brilliant move] said Chewie. [I wouldn’t have done it…but it was smart.]

“See!” Han said, pointing a finger in the Princess’s direction.

“Well I have to say, it was a smart move, the empire was crazy to follow us, but you did admit that you might have made a mistake!”

“But I didn’t!” he argued, “I navigated us right through those asteroids…and look, we’re still alive!”

“You were just doing it to impress me.”

“I was doing it to save our skins!” he replied, and everyone was then silent for a moment. “Did it work?” Han asked, breaking the silence.

“Well yes, it appears we are still alive!”

“No no…I mean, did it impress you?”
