I spent a HOUR reading this and THAT is the ending you give me?! Shame on thou!
Anywho, make a sequel or I'll hunt you down and slit your throat while you're sleeping! Seriously, make a sequel. Now. I don't care if it's about Minecraft or now just make one! Please. :3
Okay, so this was a convincing check-up. A sequel it is!

So there's this thingy I wrote, and it even has a sequel in progress! But instead of writing like a good little boy I just play Minecraft, or whatever games on my Steam library I haven't finished yet. Oh, and Borderlands 2 is the greatest thing to grace the human race (Mechromancer ftw).
I emailed them a while back, but they never replied or put it on, and now their website's down. I've been trying, trust me.

u rock this story is awesome but still why oh why. the ending was sad i was expecting something different. p.s dont mean to be a bother but WHEN IS THE SQUEAL COMEING OUT I NEEEEEEED IT NOOOOOOOW
Hate to make you wait, but if you had been following my posts, you'll see that over time I had much less and less time to write/post. By the time I get the sequel far enough (if I even go through with it), it'll be at least April or May at the EARLIEST. This story was getting difficult, and it'll not be easy to keep another one up. Plus I have to wait for more votes on the poll. It's not 100% decided yet.

I read "100 Days to Mine" a long time ago, and REALLY liked it. Then I found out the author was 13, and was absolutely dumbfounded. Now I see people love this one too, and you're really young too. So weird, but good weird. I'm definitely going to start reading this one too.
I figure these good fanfics are done by people in college during their spare time, but no, its young teens. That's really cool.
and Lemmiwinks, I wouldn't say the fafics are all written by people in their young teens, more-of the forums are highly consisted of anyone in the age group. I must say I was dumbfounded too when I found out Zuned1 was 13, but Looking back at the story I wouldn't say it's too shocking. It was a feel-good story, but all-in-all it lacked some elements of real literature. I felt.... amateur.

What I think: It's your story, even though I preread/edit/whatever, just go in the direction you want to take it. If it's random, I'm fine with it, if it involves, I don't know, Dr. Who, sure, if it involves multiple universe travelers/machines, I don't care, so long as it fits. I'll just go along, mainly because I still want to see what happens to them, even if the story has only one of them. Also, because everyone, EVERYONE, messes up their writing once in a while, even if it's because a slip of the hand, or an apostrophe in the wrong place, and it frustrates everyone who reads it, because they know it's wrong, but they don't want to bother you with it.
So I've been wanting to tell you guys this for a while, but I was hoping you'd figure it out on your own. Anyways, one thing most people don't know about my writing (especially fanfics) is that I like to hide reflections in plot. In this story, much of what happens and the ideas are reflections of my experience in Minecraft. Here are a few:
(Warning, the following contains spoilers. If you have not read the story, turn back now. If you accidentally read this and you haven't read the story, bathe your eyes in sulfuric acid.)
1. The powers. The way that Sarah gets her powers and they derive the two from just living in peace like they would've was my way of talking about mods. Now I don't mean any mods in specific, but I've seen far too many people who have never played Minecraft legitimately (i.e. without using any mods or help, and getting enough supplies to get to the Nether) because they started off with something to help. Too many have been kept from the raw experience that I enjoyed so much. The powers were like a reflection of mods in the game.
2. Updates. Many of the things hinted in small places (Like the Enderman encounter) were derived from updates. At times when I wrote, I felt like I was swaying a little from the original premise of Minecraft, so to keep it on track a little I put some features of the newer update or things related into the story. For example, when the days began to get more earthly, that wasn't just a way of making time progress less chaotically. That was at the time that Notch added the round sun and moon sprites. Another was when they first got to the town. This wasn't a new feature in the game, but I wrote that around when the servers were starting to get big. When he was isolated again was timed when 1.8 was released, so Notch destroyed all the Bukkit servers for several weeks. I really wanted to add strongholds to the story somewhere, but I couldn't find a way to merge it in. I mean I could've, but it would've directed the entire plot since it's so difficult to find one in game. I wanted these to be little hints that at most affect the plot weakly.
3. The End. I've had one or two people ask me why I never included The End in my story since I wrote it to hint at updates. If you look closely around the end of the story, I mention that when Zeu-*ahem* WILLIAM holds off the rip for a few seconds on the beach and the sky turns black...figured it out? Little island of sand, all blackness, matter ripped apart (kind of like the particles floating around the void and End). Mindblown.
Now remember this isn't all of the reflections, but just the most major ones. If you ever find yourself thinking back at the plot, try and see if you can find any more things that reflect the game in a less direct sense.
