When "Trouble with Teleportation" was originally written in early 2022, I had high hopes for the project. It was slated to be a 3-4 chapter story, where Amity would both learn how to rescue Luz from her belly and acclimate to the surreal, yet intimate pleasure of endosoma. Eda would guide Amity on this adventure, both in concocting the McGuffin potion and encouraging her to embrace these flustered feelings. Vore would bring Amity and Luz closer together as a couple, and by its conclusion, they'd regularly eat each other. Nothing brings a couple happiness quite like sharing the same hobby, you know?
Sadly, things didn't work out so smoothly. Not only have I allowed a large backlog to consume my spare writing time, but in early June of last year, my Discord account was stolen. "Trouble with Teleportation" was written entirely on that account. While most of chapter 1 was saved to a Google Doc, the last two scenes were lost entirely. Discord's tech team never replied to my requests to recover the account, and the scammer went silent after stealing almost $1K from a number of my friends.
Simply put, the whole experience soured my attitude towards "Trouble with Teleportation." The story is still a fun concept, one I'd like to complete, but a mental block prevents me from committing to it. I've edited the existing scenes 2-3 times now, trying to push myself to rewrite the last two scenes, but nothing really works. My spirit simply isn't in it. Worse, I'm concerned that continually editing the existing scenes makes them lose a certain authenticity from me as a writer. I'd hate to polish over the charm that made the original draft so fun to write, flaws and all.
Truthfully, it's a damn shame. I really wanted "Trouble with Teleportation" to be my grand send-off to the Owl House, since post season 2, it quickly grew clear the Owl House wouldn't receive a full third season. The Owl House meant a lot to me then, as it still does today, and doing a half-assed job felt wrong. I hate to post an incomplete story, but I eventually decided that sharing something is better than nothing.
So despite everything, I hope everyone enjoys the first half of "Trouble with Teleportation," chapter 1. If it receives enough attention, and maybe if someone wants to commission their own version, that'll be enough motivation to bring myself to complete the 1st chapter? Even if the 1st chapter just becomes a standalone story? I'd hate to let this idea die entirely. But the full multi-chapter fic will likely remain unwritten. Instead, I will continue chipping away at 1-2 other Owl House projects I've been working on since mid-2023. With any luck, those will be completed this year, and they'll serve as a proper farewell to the Owl House
At any rate, I'd like to credit the people who inspired this project! First I must thank KnownMusk, whose comics really crawled into my brain and wouldn't get out until the first draft was complete. Secondly, thank you to
vaquitamora, who's Lumity artwork influenced the subsequent edits of the project. You can find links to the related artwork here:

If nothing else, it taught me to be more wary of scams across the internet. I feel lucky I didn't lose any money, but still regret that my account was used to steal from my friends. While I lost other stories too, "Trouble with Teleportation" suffered the worst and thus brings back those unpleasant memories the most.
I don't want this story's reception to be mired by this, however, so I may edit or erase the description entirely. I'd like people to simply read my stories and have a good time.

Even with what you have here it's still a great story and I'm sure Manny will understand if there's no part two to be had

Based on what you have so far, I’d personally LOVE to see more. If you ever do make more, I’ll be right there!

Thank you! At the moment, I'm thinking that if it hits 10K views, I'll sit down to draft the second half. Given the success of my other Owl House fics, that feels like a reasonable goal.

This is the one of the best story's you have ever written, and I can only imagine how great it could have been If it hadn't been spoiled by discords lack of caring for it's customers, or scammers in general.

Thank you kindly. I don’t write enough endosoma, so putting Luz & Amity in such an intimate, yet awkward situation was a lotta fun. Really wanted the humor to be on par with the Owl House’s standard too.

I would also recommend keeping a well protected local file to prevent what ever platform you chose to use from either deleting it, or losing it due to account take over.
Google has banned users due to copyright detection over "1","I" and "you" because it was used in some copy protected work, and no they were given no explanation, the first strike was to delete the document, and when the collage professor/student tried the same thing again to figure out why it had been removed the first time, Google disabled the account and told them it was due to a "copyright violation" of some book, so the student if I remember correctly made his report on googles stupid copy protection system instead, I think it was his senior project or something he was starting to work on that was deleted without warning, Thankfully he had only got to "I" so nothing was lost.

Your welcome, and never forget that the cloud is just someone else's computer.
I learned that lesson the hard way, I have no writing assignments from my high school, they were lost when my school deleted my account after graduation, which I never saved locally because I thought I would never want to read them again(I was wrong).

Discord issues aside, this is an amazing story just like the other ones you’ve written, really embodies the feeling of the show. It would be cool if you did make another part of this story.
