Hey there again, its me. Yeah, bet ya forgot about me, eh? I'm just checking in to remind you all that the fanfic is not being discontinued, (just on hiatus until the next episodes of the show come out) and also to notify the few hundred people (surprisingly a lot, or maybe its just the same ten or so people re-reading this multiple times) of a few more changes that are coming, mostly quality-of-life.
Firstly, I have finally decided to re-name the "acts" to "episodes", like I should've done from the get-go. The original reason why I didn't do that was because I didn't want anybody to get confused with me referring to Episode One, like Episode One of the fiction or the show? But, its a much better label in my opinion, since I did technically design the book to have an episodic structure. The actual names of the "chapters" aren't gonna be changing, its just all gonna be called episodes from now on.
Secondly, I decided to re-write half of the first episode, mostly because the poor writing quality and just general feel of the episode always bothered me. I dunno about anybody else, but it just felt off to me, like it was more informative and lacked a smooth and "soul-y" feel to it. There are some parts kept in from the original episode (I'm still lazy after all lol) but I hope its better now.
Leave a comment if you don't like it I guess?
I'll also be putting the revised version of the first episode as the first chapter, while putting the old version second. I could remove either the new one or the old one if anyone cares to let me know in the future, so thats the way its gonna be for now.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Hey, even-more-future-me here, I just accidentally deleted the old version of the first episode without copying it down. I COULD go through some older versions of the file to get it, but I'm lazy. If you care about it, leave me a comment complaining about how you want it so badly.
Finally, I have finally decided to delve into the mosh-pit of shipping, erotica, self-inserts, and cringey romance novels that is called Archive of our Own. Yes, my reputation as the Best Person in the Bajillionverse could get ruined if anyone found out that I was getting an Ao3 account, but thats a problem for me to worry about.
Also, I'd like to retract my statement that I have the best fanfic (written in words that is) in the MD community. I have found this one that, while it hasn't been going on for as long or is as physically long as mine, is indeed quite good. It just has that feel to it that makes me want more, the same feel that the original show had. Again, I dunno if anyone feels that way about MY fiction, but its appreciated if anyone does I guess?
Anyway, my account will get an invite on the 1st of March (EST, because I'm red, white, and blue-blooded, god-blessed, heart-striving American citizen and not a filthy [INSERT ANY NATION THAT ISN'T THE USA HERE]), so expect the fiction to pop up sometime during or after that date. Also, while the new version of the second chapter will be uploaded here, the other edits to all the other episodes (which are kinda integral to the story, and some things won't make sense if you don't read the slight edits across all episodes) will be uploaded to Ao3, so go there if you want the full, modern experience.
Thats about all I have to say for the time being. Sorry for the long wait, again, but I can't really do anything about the upload schedule of a animation studio all the way across the world (not that I want them to rush it) so cya, I guess.
