THIS THREAD IS NOT DEAD. I AM TAKING A SHORT BREAK FOR SCHOOLING. I apologise for the delay guys. Give me another couple days and Chapter 6 will be up.
I'm tired and going to go to sleep. I planned on writing chapter 6 at 1AM, but it's 12:50 and all I can think about is sleep. The rest of Shita's training schedule and Bob's.. enjoyment.. will have to wait until tomorrow. I wake up usually around 9AM, so about 8 hours from now.
Eat, breakfast, etc. Probably START writing at about 10AM.. But that involves re-reading at least the past two chapters, so I can continue without abrupt changes, and then figuring out what I want in the next chapter, and then beginning to write the next chapter.
Expect Chapter 1 to be out by about 12:00 - 1:30 ish tomorrow afternoon. Or about 12 hours from now.
tl;dr Subscribe to the damn forum. You'll know whenever I need to update you. -.-
I'm such a horrible author, I promised you guys chapter 6 almost a month ago, and nothing. Here's the beginning of chapter 6, I've been quite busy with some stuff in real life. Mainly friends. I've got too many of them, anybody know some good hitmen? Just kidding. I love all my friends, they just make it hard to write sometimes. I'll try and keep regular updates to it, but I've got to have a combination of time and inspiration don't forget. And these rarely come at the same time.
Hey guys, sorry for the massive delay here. Seems like a regular occurance at this point, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, I went camping for a week and after a couple days I got a message from my neighbour saying there was water flooding out of the foundations. When my parents went back to the house, they noticed the toilet had cracked and it's been leaking for a day or two. So right now, I'm out a house.
I lost my computer, all the data on this story, and quite a bit of work, in things related to this and other assorted projects. However; I did take a 1 month break from writing this story, for a lack of inspiration.
As of right now, I'm using my sister's laptop to type this out, and I also have a journal where I'm writing up a Game Design Document for a small game I'm working on. For those interested, the game is based off the animes Phi Brain and Sword Art Online. It's a purely linear progression, with no classes and many puzzles contained therein.
But that's for another day, perhaps. For now, you can be re-assured in knowing that Bob's Story will continue yet again, until the next delay decides to pop up.
For future reference, I will note some things that may get in the way of writing Bob's Story.
1. A small business I'm starting up. I'm going to hopefully create a design company that creates logos, websites, small animations, and things like that.
2. The game that I'm working on. Currently, it's only in the GDD phase, though I can see myself finishing the GDD within the next 2-3 months. So there may be a slight delay from that.
3. Moving back into my house. There will definitely be a delay from that. Perhaps a month or two, when I get back onto my normal computer and can relax. I'll mainly want to game, and not have any stressful deadlines.
4. If the wifi at this resort cuts out. The insurance is paying for our trailer to be parked at a very nice resort, though the wifi is absolute crap. If that cuts out, I can't promise anything, though I doubt it will entirely cut out, for more than a day or two.
5. I just lose inspiration. Though this counts for every time, if I lose inspiration, I stop writing. I refuse to write just to please you guys, I'll be sure to write when I want to write, so the quality is up to my own standards.
Again, I'm sorry about the delay, but I kinda lost my house, not much I can do about that. Regardless, here's to the future updates of Bob's Story!
I see it isn't dead anymore. I just decided to drop by and say HEY! Also, I'm planning out another idea for another story. And it will be different from my first story.

This isn't ever going to be "dead", it may rest sometimes though.
I actually ended up losing the internet that night, and then lost inspiration for it by the time I got it back. Internet is steady now, so I'm currently writing the end of chapter 6. Good to know that you're still kickin' around these forums.
When I started writing this story, I was honestly expecting 100 views. And then a day later, I broke that 100 view mark. And that was with the shitty first edition, no care was really put into it. I didn't do much, and I didn't care much.
And then there was the views per day. For a while, that was at 100 - 300 views per day. Granted, that slowed down over time, because I stopped writing as often. But pushing that aside, we are at an outstanding 5217 views as I post this. That's absolutely AMAZING. And to top it off, 68% of voters voted 10/10. (I don't count 1/10s. :P)
This whole project started out as something fun to do on a friday night, and it quickly expanded into this HUGE project. I'm thankful to everybody that's read this, and that will read this. I ask you to continue checking this, as I'll keep updating you guys on what's happening with the following books.
I plan on writing a sibling book: Alice's Story that's all about Alice's life. It'll start after Alice and Bob depart, and it'll be an emotional rollercoaster, for her at least.
And I plan on writing a sequel: Bob's Second Story that's all about how his training went. It's a straightforward name, for a straightforward sequel.
Please look forward to these, and as always, everything is free.
Again, thank you guys SOOO much. I never would've thought I'd get such positive feedback on this. It's simply astounding. This is probably one of my most proud accomplishments, and I am extremely happy that it's done. But I'm also sad that I have to wait before continuing. I have so many good ideas welling up inside me. But that's for next time.
You know, managing this project is a HUGE thing. For those that read each individual post update for the additional info, here's a few other projects I have planned for this:
A youtube account has been created: TheBobsStory
I'll be uploading information on each character individually there, starting within the next week. Learn how to pronounce your favourite character's name! I know there are definitely some odd names here. I'll explain how I came up with all the names of towns, cities, characters, everything. I'll do some background info on the story itself. How I came up with the name bob's story, what gave me inspiration for this story and all that. Subscribe to TheBobsStory for all that stuff. Though the youtube account will be updated less frequently.
I'm currently also designing a website for it. I'll be hosting the stories here, free of charge. But I want a website for this as well. That'll likely be done within 2 months.
As for the update itself, I didn't do all too much. I fixed many grammar mistakes, and perspective inconsistencies, as well as a few errors in the actual code of the thread. Aside from that, not much was change. Prologue and Chapter 1 are nearly complete, but likely going to be entirely re-written.
Update 30 - Awesome, chapter 2 was edited. There wasn't much to change. A few words missing, a couple perspective inconsistencies. I don't think I'll rewrite chapter 2 entirely, but a lot of it will likely be re-written.
Aside from that, not much really happened today. Oh yeah, tomorrow's my birthday.
Well, it's been a month and a half since the last update, and I haven't forgotten about this. I've decided to change my approach to this.
Currently, I'm rewriting the entire story. The storyline and progression will remain the same, nothing there will change. But I'm going to be adding everything that's missing, and fixing up all the grammar mistakes, any inconsistencies with the story, things like that.
When the entire story's finished, I'm going to release it here. That will likely be tomorrow night.
When this story has been completed, I'll be starting Alice's story. So you can expect a massive revamp to the story, and the first chapter of the sister story - Alice's Story within the next week.
Chapter 1 has been redone. Plus, I'll be recording myself reading the story on my youtube channel IAm0x64. Subscribe to me, or just remember the name if you wanna listen to the story being told. I hear I have a fairly nice voice, so I'll try my best with it.
Who's back and wants to write the next chapter tonight? Me DAMNIT!
Expect Chapter 6 out by tonight. It's gonna be erm, fairly exciting. Well, I don't know. I haven't planned anything out. I never do.
I'm tired and going to go to sleep. I planned on writing chapter 6 at 1AM, but it's 12:50 and all I can think about is sleep. The rest of Shita's training schedule and Bob's.. enjoyment.. will have to wait until tomorrow. I wake up usually around 9AM, so about 8 hours from now.

A happy halloween to all of you!
Thanks! I hope you'll like the finished product soon.
Just a little side project I'm having fun doing. If you wanna listen to the story, rather than read it, then it's perfect for you.
