I Have a Teensy-Weensy, Wittle Favor to Ask. (Rewritten Chapters Over Yonder!)

So, I think I've finally established the obvious fact that I'm a bit stupid. Well, maybe not stupid. Just indecisive. Really indecisive. Like... really indecisive. Also a bit stubborn, but who isn't these days? Actually, no, I do think I'm a bit stupid, but that's probably the fatigue talking. Or not. I really don't know.

Now, anyone who's been following me for a while will likely be familiar with my seemingly never-ending agonizing over the idea of rewriting Creed. I probably would've by now, but as we've already established, I am stupid/indecisive/stubborn and as such, it's an idea that could very much never reach fruition. However, because I'm stupid/indecisive/stubborn, that possibility still hasn't stopped me from writing rewritten chapters at a pace that would make a glacier scream 'Dude, hurry the hell up.' So, here I am with four completed chapters, and goddammit, I'm gonna show them to somebody. It kinda feels like I own a ship-in-a-bottle and that I'm trying to find at least one person who appreciates it so that it would feel like a complete waste of fucking time.

Right, so time for the titular teensy-weensy, wittle favor. See, I've got these lonely chapters here with no one to read them. So, if any of you guys have the time for it, here are Chapters One, Two, Three, and Four, with Five still in progress. Now that I think about it, I should probably get a dedicated prereader for this kinda thing.

You know, some people have asked me why I keep worrying about treading old ground with this rewrite instead of focusing on making new chapters. In all honesty, I hardly know myself. I suppose it goes down to my desire to always do better, and this story is no exception. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy writing the story as is, bumps along the road and all, but I just can't do it without knowing that I can do better than everything I've done so far. Not only that, but it feels like I'm screwing the readers out of the best possible the story that I could give them, instead opting to feed them half-assed bullshit (again, I still enjoy writing this). To be honest, even though it'll drag my updates down to a standstill, I doubt that I'm going to drop this rewrite until it's finished. Whether or not I'll still post a new chapter during that, I don't know yet. I just figured I'd let you all know. Last time I didn't give a proper heads-up, people thought that the story was cancelled.

Don't worry about having to decide between new chapters and rewrites. Actually, I still have to rewrite the preexisting rewrites on my own AC fic that's been on hiatus for some time, and let me say that I was fortunate enough to ahve someone point out a large plot hole in the early parts of the fic. So in other words, rewrite will save your ass from time to time

As much as I want to become the awesomest bestest prereader assassin expert (100% synch in all console games, I'm at 96% for the recent Pirate game) I would be a poor choice actually. Despite that I can edit and format relatively well, I'm rather aloof and like commas, and past/present/future tense shifts. And having been unable to write for a while has made me rusty, and I don't think i would actually have enough mental willpower to dedicate myself as a prereader, despite the high amount of wanting to be one.

I will however read over these chapters. I will likely then say, "Wow, I wub your fic "
and hopefully provide some strong writer's criticism
