Hi Guppies!

Long time so see huh?

Guess what! I’m actually working on Septnautical before Mermay for once! I’m sorry for the sudden hiatus during last year’s Below Zero event. Honestly, I had a major personal issue that lasted months- it was crazy. And since it happened right during that time I lost all the motivation I had to continue the project... even though I loved the ideas and new hybrids I made!

And honestly- revisiting Septnautical… I’m really proud of all the past work we’ve done. But since I’m rewriting the first creation story… I really feel like it might be time for a revamp? Revisiting the start of the story and expanding on stuff, exploring the boys more when they’re little and actually letting myself be a little more fucked up with certain topics. I feel like I really need to lean into how young the boys were mentally during some major events. But also like work on their dynamics with each other- I dropped you all into Jack’s capture without you all knowing the hybrids at all!

Don’t worry- whatever I decide the old stories aren’t going away! I’m just gonna rework older stories, write new stuff in between and hopefully make the beginning a lot more coherent! I think after the spilt the story is pretty solid- but there’s def a lot of stuff I wanna expand on! Like Marvin’s capture, the spilt and how it affected the boys more? Lots of different stuff!

But you all let me know what you want to see!

I know- I disappear for a long time then pop up with all these changes…. It means so much to me to still have people around for my silly little Merboys. I want to work on them and Swap more consistently and I think I’m finally coming out of that rut I was in. I have a new job that gives me time to write and a new spring in my step! So, I think a revamp might make me love my story again, you know? Ive always loved it but throughout the years, I definitely see how I started this story from passion but didn’t do a lot of research or concrete world building or really anything to really nail down a plot you know? Which makes sense, back then this was just a silly project I never knew so many people would love! I want to see people passionate about the story again like I used to be- and I think starting over might help? (All the older stories would be kept- I would just make a new masterpost of the revamp btws!)

Love you all,
