Chapter 2 - Totally Not a Real Chapter (Just Here for Word Count)

Hey there, reader! 

So, um… this "chapter" doesn't actually exist. Yeah. You read that right. This is not a real chapter. This is me, your totally sleep-deprived author, just trying to meet the word count requirement so the novel can qualify for rankings.

Once I hit 15 chapters, this thing is going poof- gone, deleted, vanished like Jack Sparrow when it's time to pay the bar tab.

You can totally skip this one. Seriously. Go read the next chapter,that's where the real chaos, pirates, and screaming happen. This? This is just filler.

Still here? Wow. You're loyal. Or bored. Either way, thank you.

So since you're still reading, let's do some random rambling to make this thing long enough for the algorithm to smile at me. Ready? Okay.

Once upon a time, there was an author who thought, "Hey, writing fanfics is fun!" And then the word count requirements appeared, whispering, "You must hit 15000 words or perish. "And the author said, "Fine. I'll just talk to my readers for a bit."

That's you. You're the reader. You're the chosen one.

Anyway, while we're padding words, how's your day going? Have you drunk water? Slept enough? Don't be like me; go touch grass sometime.

Okay, back to pretending this is a chapter: The main character runs. Screams. Chaos everywhere. Skeletons chasing. Boom, explosions. Rum spills. Jack Sparrow says something clever. There, that's 50 more words.

You know, maybe this is a real chapter now. The "meta" chapter. The one where nothing happens, but the author breaks the fourth wall to tell you something is happening somewhere else.

Wow, I'm actually close to 15000 words now.

If you've read this far, you deserve a medal.Or rum. Probably rum.

Alright, I'll stop here before this turns into a whole new story about procrastination and word count padding.

So yeah, skip this. Next chapter's the real deal. Sorry. And happy reading, mate!

Hey there, reader! 

So, um… this "chapter" doesn't actually exist. Yeah. You read that right. This is not a real chapter. This is me, your totally sleep-deprived author, just trying to meet the word count requirement so the novel can qualify for rankings.

Once I hit 15 chapters, this thing is going poof- gone, deleted, vanished like Jack Sparrow when it's time to pay the bar tab.

You can totally skip this one. Seriously. Go read the next chapter,that's where the real chaos, pirates, and screaming happen. This? This is just filler.

Still here? Wow. You're loyal. Or bored. Either way, thank you.

So since you're still reading, let's do some random rambling to make this thing long enough for the algorithm to smile at me. Ready? Okay.

Once upon a time, there was an author who thought, "Hey, writing fanfics is fun!" And then the word count requirements appeared, whispering, "You must hit 15000 words or perish."A nd the author said, "Fine. I'll just talk to my readers for a bit."

That's you. You're the reader. You're the chosen one.

Anyway, while we're padding words, how's your day going? Have you drunk water? Slept enough? Don't be like me; go touch grass sometime.

Okay, back to pretending this is a chapter: The main character runs. Screams. Chaos everywhere. Skeletons chasing. Boom, explosions. Rum spills. Jack Sparrow says something clever. There, that's 50 more words.

You know, maybe this is a real chapter now. The "meta" chapter. The one where nothing happens, but the author breaks the fourth wall to tell you something is happening somewhere else.

Wow, I'm actually close to 15000 words now.

If you've read this far, you deserve a medal.Or rum. Probably rum.

Alright, I'll stop here before this turns into a whole new story about procrastination and word count padding.

So yeah, skip this. Next chapter's the real deal. Sorry. And happy reading, mate!

So, um… this "chapter" doesn't actually exist. Yeah. You read that right. This is not a real chapter. This is me, your totally sleep-deprived author, just trying to meet the word count requirement so the novel can qualify for rankings.

Once I hit 15 chapters, this thing is going poof- gone, deleted, vanished like Jack Sparrow when it's time to pay the bar tab.

You can totally skip this one. Seriously. Go read the next chapter,that's where the real chaos, pirates, and screaming happen. This? This is just filler.

Still here? Wow. You're loyal. Or bored. Either way, thank you.

So since you're still reading, let's do some random rambling to make this thing long enough for the algorithm to smile at me. Ready? Okay.

Once upon a time, there was an author who thought, "Hey, writing fanfics is fun!" And then the word count requirements appeared, whispering, "You must hit 15000 words or perish."A nd the author said, "Fine. I'll just talk to my readers for a bit."

That's you. You're the reader. You're the chosen one.

Anyway, while we're padding words, how's your day going? Have you drunk water? Slept enough? Don't be like me; go touch grass sometime.

Okay, back to pretending this is a chapter: The main character runs. Screams. Chaos everywhere. Skeletons chasing. Boom, explosions. Rum spills. Jack Sparrow says something clever. There, that's 50 more words.

You know, maybe this is a real chapter now. The "meta" chapter. The one where nothing happens, but the author breaks the fourth wall to tell you something is happening somewhere else.

Wow, I'm actually close to 15000 words now.

If you've read this far, you deserve a medal.Or rum. Probably rum.

Alright, I'll stop here before this turns into a whole new story about procrastination and word count padding.

So yeah, skip this. Next chapter's the real deal. Sorry. And happy reading, mate!
