Part IV- To be reconstructed from the ground up. · 7:13pm Mar 11th, 2017

Azu and I have talked. After the critical dissection from ChangelingNumber32 of Part IV (which was true and informative), we realized how wrong the finale felt. We were arguing during the original run, and with a better understanding for each other, we can fix many of the things that were wrong.

This will help new readers catch the story, and it'll help old readers catch an improved edition. Many KEY things will change. For now, Part IV is going to be taken down. Wish us luck.

Thank you, 32! We'll try to make you and the readers proud this time!

I never actually read part IV, I sort of stopped reading after part III, but I wish you luck nonetheless!

4451856 I smell a RE-Review in your future! :rainbowwild:

Hey. On the bright side. It won't have to be very long. :trollestia:

Very nice. Always acknowledging you can do better is good - taking the time to rebuild what you made into something greater is fantastic dedication to your work. And i've had a few times i needed to remake a story because i felt i could do better. But either way, i have every confidence you can make this chapter even better than it was. I'm another who saw the review, and i agreed with it, too. Still, it's good to know you have something to help improve what was good. Good luck to you, my friends.:)

Good luck my friends....... This'll be very interesting :pinkiesmile:

Less of a remaster and more of a remake, huh? Well, with almost 300k words, best of luck. And an iron will. You will certainly need it :rainbowlaugh:

Looking forward what you'll do with it though.

Oh so you're taking the Sony route then.

Could be worse. We could pull an EA and copy paste everything we make. :pinkiecrazy:

4451908 At least Sony tried. I will say that.

Better to try, fail, and remake than it is to never have even tried in the first place. :trollestia:

Oh boy, I knew this was coming. Might as well call it "Spiders and Magic IV: The Fall of Spider-Mane - The Ultimate Edition!"

Well, wish you two the best of luck on improving Part IV, whatever you decide to change and remake about it.

Cool. I'm looking forward to it.

So, having not even finished the last story, I've basically lost my place and everything I've read is rendered mute?

It sorta disappoints me, I kinda liked the story as is and didn't see a lot of wrong with it, but I'll give it a chance. Good luck with the revision.

Will i read part four of Spider and magic. I thought that the story was a bit confusin but naturally i followed the story in my poit of view. The remake of one chapter made a great deal. From makin a herd into luna acceptin bein in the friend zone. Bravo.

I look forward to ur reconstruction hopefully ill see some references from marvels universe or more. Gud luck dear friend. An may the web of life mend its bonds to ur stories.

Best of luck on the rewrite. It'll be interesting to see what stays and what changes. Though, it sounds like the review brought in a few key ideas for you.

4451858 Sooooo, are you just remaking Part IV?

Not necessarily. No. We'll be making changes to certain parts, scenes and story arcs.

Currently we are formulating an outline with a critical look back on the story with a "What could we have done better? What were we unhappy with? What were the readers unhappy with? What are some opportunities that we should explore and/or invent?"

Max and I have grown a lot as writers since the writing process of part 4, and we are a much, much better team. With better teamwork and communication than before.

4453856 So basically, you're trying to fix it. Gotcha. You and Maximus take us much time as you need.

So....your eyes working on the sequel, Shattered Dimenions...but also rewriting its predecessor..,at the same time? :derpyderp2: :facehoof:

I want to read the Equestrian Avengers parts, but I feel like I'm missing something.

I`m so f**cking disappointed right now. I liked the story as it was and now you want to rewrite it? Also isn't it a little bit stupid to write a story based upon a story that you can't read here anymore? Sorry, but I already hated the re-write of part one in which you reduced Lyra's part to avoid the human obsessed thing. It kicked me away from your stories for a very long time (one year or longer) and I only came back out of curiosity and your stories draw me back again into this world of Spider-Mane, until now. Now I feel again like with your re-write of part 1 and don`t know if I want to read this re-write with an already existing part 4 that I liked as it was.

Could you do your readers that liked the first version a favour? Part four is still online on fanfiction. Could you let it be there and upload here the rewritten version? This way we have both versions.
