So I'm considering...

Releasing the updated Midnight Rising chapters as new chapters, as they're that different at this point, and deleting or at least unpublishing the old ones.

It used to be that deleting a chapter meant you'd lose any comments attached to it, but that appears to no longer be the case. In fact, I've not only heavily edited but added over 2k words to the Sunny Flared chapter (chapter 4) over and above what it was before. It's now much more fleshed out with a lot of back-and-forth between not just Sunny and Midnight, but Sunny and Indigo, and has plenty of additional spice.

I'm still thinking about it, but don't be surprised if you see a new chapter release for it over the next couple days. I'd be hoping to both pull in more new readers and interest older ones in the updated chapters. They're significantly improved, with a lot more detail and dialog as I attempt to address the concerns shown in the story review. To say nothing of make it more nicely mesh with Nightmare Night.

About time on that, whenever the change occurred.

I'd go ahead and do it. Get it back to the front page.

Looks like I have to take that back. The old comments were not saved on one of my other stories when I deleted old versions of chapters. So I'll have to unpublish only for this story.

Done.

I always shudder when someone asks that question, but in this case... it's done. Story relaunched with the first four updated chapters published.
