Hey, you got it published! Nice.
Might I recommend branching out to sites other than c.c? This isn’t principally a writing service, after all.

Yeah maybe, idk. When you did your stories on whatever site you used how easy was it to gain traction? Cause I was just thinking it'd be easier to get people interested if I just stick it into the general forums here
It's a very long and somewhat embarrassing story. Let me explain.
A decently good while ago, a guy came up with an idea called, "Monitale". It was a fic based on the crossover of two different indie games. Through a combination of good writing, advertising, and dumb luck, it managed to gain a great amount of popularity.
Unfortunately, that author just completely fell off, and stopped writing. Months passed with them on hiatus, and their fanbase that had been built up over a pretty long while started getting impatient.
Along came me. "The Indieverse" was inspired off of Monitale - I say so right in the very first chapter. That does mean that there's elements of it quite similar to the actual tale. I posted the thing in the exact same section my predecessor posted his, and wouldn't you know it, all of his fans came right to me. Things snowballed, and next thing you knew, I'd racked up a few thousands views.
So, er, yeah. The only advice I can give you is try to find a vacuum that you can insert your work in. On Wattpad, the story I linked to you prior doesn't extend as far back as yours does, so that might be a good place to start. That's all I have to offer.

Interesting, well thank you. That was pretty smart how you got off on that person's success, I applaud that, and thanks for the advice!

Can't wait to read this! Is this like kk's story?
Thanks man! Well yes and no. Her story was about CHTers right? Well these are actual people who stream minecraft and play together, and these events happened on their minecraft server, so I'm taking those events and turning them into a written story, if that makes sense
Note: Please no spoilers for other people if you already know the storyline. And hopefully the explanation of Minecraft terms is good enough. And yes this is based off the events of the Dream SMP, although it's not 100% accurate. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Fun and Games
“Yeah, this is going to work. I think… I hope.”
Tommy Innit thought to himself as he pressed the conductor button, that would power the ride. Though his minecart was a bit small, it would do the trick for Tommy’s newly-built roller coaster. It started to move, slowly at first, but gained traction as it reached the beginning of the incline. He looked behind him with a smile on his youthful face as he saw his best friend right behind him, in his own minecart, and smiling right back at him. His friends hair was a nice light brown, and his eyes the same, but he was shorter than Tommy.
“Hey Tubbo, you’re gonna love this!” he called out as they went higher.
A few twists here and there, a well placed turn, but steadily taking you further above the ground in anticipation for the drop, exactly how Tommy had planned it. Up, up, up, they were almost at cloud level, and then would be the thrilling drop to the slime block below. Unless…
Tommy panicked as the realization hit him: he had forgotten to place the slime down in his desire to test the ride. This was going to be a very sudden and very painful plunge.
“Uh, Tubbo, I think I might have not thought this through” Tommy yelled nervously.
“What do you mean?!?!?” Tubbo yelled back with a mixture of confusion and fear, but as Tommy tried to speak again his words were replaced by incomprehensible screaming as his minecart sailed over the edge.
At least the drop wasn’t too bad. 75 blocks, normally that would have meant death but in a minecart it significantly reduces the impact. As the minecart slammed into the ground Tommy bounced out violently and landed on his butt several feet away. Pain arched through his body as he cussed, his blonde hair was covered in gravel and dirt and his new shirt was torn. Tubbo met the same fate a few moments later, and was sent rolling down the hill that had not been taken into account when building the coaster. A weak “I’m ok” escaped from his lips as he slowly climbed back up to rejoin Tommy.
“Are you sure you two lads are ok?” Asked a tall man with brown hair, who until then hadn’t been seen. Tommy jumped, startled, and immediately regretted it from the pain.
“Positively sure. You’re that new guy, Wilbur?” he asked, holding his side and trying to regain his dignity.
Wilbur Soot was a newcomer to their land. Nobody really could explain how he showed up, or rather how any of them showed up, they just fell from the sky and joined the growing population. A blessing from the gods perhaps, or a curse depending on how you viewed it. That was one of the many mysteries of their world, alongside the infinite lives and their ability to craft and build with ease. Wilbur had first been seen about a week and a half ago in the town hall, and he was quickly educated on the way things were and then left to his own devices. After that he was only spotted a few times, and continually had an aura of mystery to him that Tommy was rather jealous of.
‘I doubt anyone would care if I had secrets around me’ he thought with a bit of annoyance. But hey, maybe if he talked to Wilbur now he might learn something cool or useful.
“Yes that is me, Wilbur Soot” Wilbur replied, pushing his hair out of his eyes. “And you are Tommy I believe. As for you,” pointing at Tubbo, “you are… Tub?”
“Tubbo!” he said in both an annoyed and humored way. “My name is Tubbo”
“Ok Tubbo, my apologies. I’m still getting used to this new life. So uh, Tommy, Tubbo, which one of you was dumb enough to build a roller coaster with a straight drop?”
An awkward pause between the two before Tommy answered “I don’t know Mr. Wilbur, Mr. Soot if you’d rather, I was just riding it with my good friend here and someone messed it up, I have no idea who or why or-”
“Wait Tommy I thought you-”
“Not now Tubbo! So Wilbur I don’t know who did it but how about we go investigate together, you and I, be partners and stuff and yeah…” he trailed off, realizing Wilbur clearly did not believe him. “Ok yeah it was me, I’ll admit it”
“That’s what I thought. I’d warn you about the dangers of doing something like that, but you and your friend seem to have figured it out now, and also it seems like we just wake up every time we die, which I’m not even gonna try to understand.”
“Yeah we just accept it as a part of life” Tubbo said. “It makes playing a lot more interesting though, since safety rules are entirely disregarded!”
“If you say so. Now I’m going, I’ve got things I need to do today.” he replied, for he was getting rather annoyed by the sound of Tommy’s voice. He started to walk away but Tommy grabbed his arm.
“Wait Wilbur before you go!” he exclaimed, hoping to keep him around long enough to learn something interesting, “Let me show you my disc collection!” Tubbo echoed his sentiment, he was a big fan of the discs.
“Your… disc collection?” Wilbur asked hesitantly, afraid of how much more time this would take.
“Yes you have no idea how much I went through to get them and they’ll probably be stolen from me at some point so I enjoy them while I can! Here I have them in my ender chest, it’s right around the corner” Tommy leapt up and ran toward his chest, completely disregarding the hole right in front of him, and with his health already low from his failed roller coaster, his fall proved to be his death.
Still not quite used to the respawning system, Wilbur jumped up in shock while Tubbo just laughed. “What a dummy, he should have healed up first”
A couple minutes passed before Tommy returned, a bit ashamed about his rather humiliating death but carrying his prized discs and a jukebox. He put in the first one, named Mellohi, into the jukebox. A tune poured out, both depressing and beautiful at the same time, as if one tried to lighten the mood at a funeral.
“This is it?” Wilbur asked.
“What do you mean ‘this is it’?! This is one of the most valuable items in the entirety of this world! Only reason I’m playing it here is because I trust Tubbo and if you tried to take it I could kill you easily.”
“That’s fair, I guess. So what makes them so valuable?”
“What great question Wilbur! It started out as some fun and games with a few other people”
“You killed Alyssa seven times in a row and burned her house down while shouting at her” Tubbo pointed out.
“It was some very aggressive fun and games ok. In the midst of it I found both Mellohi and this other disc, Cat, inside a hidden chest in a mountain. Now discs are pretty hard to find, so I immediately became a target for a bunch of people. Even Dream, our unofficial ruler as I’m sure you know, killed me multiple times to get these precious items. Tubbo joined in to help me eventually and we managed to get the discs safe, but I’m sure someone’s gonna try to steal from me again.” he finished proudly.
Wanting to leave already, Wilbur just nodded and said “Cool, sounds like fun for you. Now I really do need to be going”
This time Tommy couldn’t get him to stay, and Wilbur went on his way, leaving Tommy with the hope that he had left an impression on Wilbur’s mind as a very cool and brave individual.
‘Man that kid is an idiot’ Wilbur thought to himself, walking back toward his house. ‘A bit funny and endearing, but an idiot’
“Hey Tubbo” Tommy said when they were once again alone.
“Yeah Tommy?”
“Wanna ride the roller coaster again?”
“Of course! And this time I get to go first!”
Character Descriptions
Tommy Innit- 19 years old. Taller than average. Light brown, curly hair. Tommy is, as Wilbur put it, both endearing and an idiot. The two traits almost balance each other out, keeping his friends just happy enough to not leave him. Except Tubbo. Tubbo likes him too much. Tommy will look up to just about anyone older than him, although he’d never admit it.
Brain Type: ESFJ
Tubbo- 18 years old. Average height. Short brown hair. Tubbo is that one younger brother who wants to help you but just doesn’t know what he’s doing. Tommy is his absolute bestest friend, and although Tubbo tries to be on everyone’s good side, it doesn’t always happen. But if you need something done, he’ll be there for you.
Brain Type: ISFJ
Wilbur Soot- 26 years old. Taller than average (Taller than Tommy to be more precise). Brown hair, a bit curly, short on the sides and back but the front goes down to his eyes. Wilbur will often do what he needs to further his own ends, but if he becomes convinced of a plan or an ideal then there’s no stopping him.
Brain Type: ENTP
General Terms
Slime Block- Basically you fall onto it and it bounces you into the air like a trampoline, you don’t take any damage that way
