Happy New Year!

Hey guys, guess what? The ref sheet is finally finished!


With that, the only thing that needs to be done is the new cover for Superstar Mania, and that will mark the final big change to the story. From here on out, I won't be changing anything else, which will help to make this story progress more and more. I will also be able to start storyboarding the other two stories in the series as well, and I'll put out more information about them as they become available. But for now, please look forward to the next intermission chapter, and Chapter 3 will be underway soon.

Alright, here we go.



I have started to edit the current chapters to compensate for new Xander. I will also be adding some detail oriented changes to highlight her character. Nothing too large as to derail the main story, but just something to look for.



I have also commissioned the ref sheet for Xander, so that's also going on. I do not have an ETA for when it will be done, and neither does Memory. How could we? Not that anyone has been doing this, but I would ask that out of respect, you don't ask Memory when it will be done. They have school and their own comic to work on. It will be done when it is done, and as normal, I will make sure you guys are able to see it when it is done.



I have Chapters 3 and 4 storyboarded, and am working on the storyboard for the intermission chapters. This time, we will be introducing Jackie's side story, as well as expanding on Xander's side story, which was introduced in the beginning of Superstar Mania. Xander, Jackie, and Chelsea are all about to learn more about themselves, and not in the way they expected at all!



I've got a lot to work on, but I'll keep you posted about what is happening as it happens. And when Xander's new ref sheet is done, it'll be available in ⁠official-character-cards-new, as well as my Inkitt wall, and Memory's DeviantArt page/Discord server.



Until next time!

Hello everyone!

Alright, so after an entire day of having the poll up, moved, then set up again, it would seem that y'all wanted new Xander cast for Superstar Mania. So, that's what I'll do. Even though the vote was slightly cheated, she was winning anyway, and since she did end up winning anyway, that's what we'll do.

This means that the next intermission/Chapter 3 will take longer to get started on, however, you can expect to see the other chapters updated soon. I'll drop links when each chapter is done.

Stay in touch!

Hey all!


So recently, after finishing Chapter 2 of "Xander & Jackie: Superstar Mania," my artist and I got to talking about redesigning Xander, the narrator of the story. He's cool, but he could be better. And I happened to bring up an idea for Xander that I had initially scrapped about 4 years ago when designing him.

This new version of Xander keeps the same attributes of the current Xander, while also bringing some new ones to the table. If you'd like to hear more about her, you should check this link out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EbwzancBXk-pVvdObAxTXqq8ExXGSyx0WCOANTcxnQw/edit?usp=drivesdk


Otherwise, if you want to vote on if we keep current Xander, or use the redesigned Xander, you can vote here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScp1OJukbcpjbczSNWJ3Rc2ANPH4oSNYfOb0ySbfRxnB7iGLw/viewform

Best of luck to you all!

Hey all! I know I don't update much here, and decided that now would probably be a good time to do so, especially since I do a lot more updates across both Wattpad and Discord. So here's an announcement I made on my Wattpad yesterday, just to get you up to date with what's going on. Cheers!


Wattpad announcement:



It's been a bit since my last announcement, and I would have gone right back to writing, but recently, I've been exploring an idea I scrapped very early on for Xander. Memory and I have been discussing at length, and if I decide to bring this idea back to light, this could trigger a rewrite again to compensate for Xander's changes. I won't promise anything just yet, but I'll keep you guys posted on whether or not the idea happens, and if I need a second opinion, I'll put up a poll or something. Stay sharp, y'all!
