I had to put my phone down and stare at the ceiling for a good minute. I was shaking so bad from excitement..this is *the* chapter I was excited for. So happy to see everyone so supportive and eager to help the bros...oughh found family my beloved 🙏 i wonder if this fic will actually like, finish the story? Like as in 'they find the part and fight the devil' finish. Would be interesting to see how the story would end in this fic and the og one, but there's still like 30 chapters left to post. I'll figure that out soon enough
I just had my own little moment getting excited about my OWN FUCKING STORY I’m so excited to talk about it, basically this au is a timeline that has split off from the original. I headcanon the Vikings were already around there were still up in Scotland in IM, and how is unknown for now but they appear in America which is *not* supposed to happen, and have dragged the story off course from the original timeline the original story. There won’t be an ending to IM in this necessarily but there will be a conclusion of this, and I am in the process of writing a ‘finding the machine and fighting the devil’ type of ending separately actually it’s something I’m buzzing about. We don’t know how IMs gonna end just yet but I have my theories I think everyone has their theories, and basically I’m writing my prediction out. BUT it’s also influenced by the Vikings directly and this entire fic; the ending changes because of it. Ofc it’s gonna be different anyway I’m not the authors of IM but things that shouldn’t happen or could’ve been prevented happen BECAUSE of this fic
Hey, im excited to talk about it too!! Do yap to me about it, I'll be more than honored and I'll be all ears. Ao3 comments kinda suck as a way to communication given they notify me of a comment being posted 3 hours later but ill live. I love talking about anything IM related
Will the story reveal why and how the Vikings even got to america in the first place? Don't say it if it spoils too much but a little spoiler never hurt me 👀👀 I figured this story wont have an ending to IM, IM has been goinf on for almost 400 chapters and we're still not exactly close to the ending. Besides i dont think you could cram it all into 30 chapters unless theyre like. 20k words each or something. Idk it seems like a big project that doesnt seem plausible to finish in 30 chapters. Im excited for the ending regardless of what it is *and* the alternative ending you mentioned. Like you said everyone has their own theories about IM's ending and ngl itll be pretty cool seeing a take on the ending from someone else
Not to worry, never looking for fast replies we all have lives to live
As for that Viking detail I shall be keeping that one a secret because I do have plans and have sort of started a second fic!!! Based in the future seven years after this fic everyone is like rounded up again for another quest, it’s a big ol project been working on the base and overall timeline for some time letting it stew yk, and a lot of unanswered stuff in this fic will be answered then so I’m holding onto some stuff
It is an enormous project tho it makes me nervous bc I feel like I’ll be writing it like all the way through my twenties which would be fun but also a giant commitment
Oughhh you just made me so excited. I already finished all 62 chapters in this fic so im currently having withdrawals and this info made them probably worse out of excitement. AUGHHHH I CANT WAIT!!!
I get that tho, it WOULD be a big project i can imagine. It is a big commitment indeed, but good stories take time to write after all. You're also not pressured to work on it- you can always take breaks! Infact, do take breaks. I know the excitement for writing is there, thats the effects of being an author, but if it makes you nervous its best to sometimes drop the pen and focus on something else before getting back to work, burnout AND writers block is a bitch (Im sure you know that tho lol)
:OO CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THROUGH!!!! And thank u again🥹🥹
I am in agreement w the taking breaks and think I will go abt it differently, turn it back into a hobby instead of a chore. The way I’ve regained so much motivation and willpower from u 🙏 ur a gem
Not to plug my own shit again buut I have written two other fics both IM related, one Viking and the other just usual IM, could be worth a lil skim while waiting on chap 63 if u fancied
Im so glad i made you more motivated!! Its an honor <33 And the other fics are definitely on my radar and I'm planning on readinf them very soon, just had to take a small break from all the reading I've been doing lately 😅 im excited to read through those as well!
