Update and Rewrite · 9:26pm Sep 21st, 2016
First an update on my progress. Very lacking. I have several chapters now complete which just need their final run throughs and proofread before being published. Which, if you guys keep up with my posts... Will be a while due to my one and only proofreader having technical problems. I'm also trying my best to find time to write on my xbox as I dropped my pc monitor and it's neeing to be properly put back together.
Which brings me to the next part of my post and it will be the most unfortunate news of them all. I have decided to rewrite Payday 2: Stealing Equestria. During yet another sleepless night I decided to think about the fic in detail and held a certain displeasure for how I was dealing with things. While the like to dislike amount on the fic speaks for itself on how I'm doing. I, personally, feel that I could improve and do better than what I have done. That I can add so much more to the story. While I could simply continue with it and change how I do it. I want to entirely rework the structure from the ground up while still keeping its charm. I plan to take it down, rewrite all the currently published chapters then resubmit it with a new title and hopefully cover art. I feel that as it is the title and cover promise more of a crossover then I intend. I hope those of you who have shown your support for this fic continue to do so as it goes through this stage. I am by no means cancelling the fic, but I hope to provide a much more in depth story than what I have done.
I'm grateful for your support as always and hope to release some chapters very soon.

I'm glad you decided to pick up this story again, I'm looking forward to it. I hope your monitor and the proofreader issue gets fixed soon (no rush though)
4220831 After thinking about it I realised I was telling it wrong. Certain details nagged me and I started to feel it lacked my normal effort I try to write with. The heists are easy to write as me and my co-author use an actual game we have played for them. I felt I was neglecting the actual story of the fic. That I wasn't putting enough effort into my own OC's background. I hope to make that up and improve it.
Thanks for your words of support. They mean a lot.
4220906 Well put I can agree with that being a main issue with the story, I felt as if the heist are a walk in the park although the in the game it really is with certain skills and perk decks but since its a story they should still have some "realistic" struggle. Remember though it's your story do what as you please.
Also I'm glad I gave some support, sending positive vibes
4220928 I understand that I should't focus on the game aspects so much that the story is lost as a result. I think that was my intial mistake. You're right.
