As many of you may know, I've been inactive for sometime, only coming onto this site for the occasional check on notifications and what not. During that time, I've been thinking about what to do with my stories-specifically my multi-chaptered ones. After heavy, heavy consideration, I've decided on a few crucial things that will be major news for almost all of you today. Specifically, the status of some stories.
WARNING: WALL OF TEXT AHEAD
Havoc:
Okay, I'll admit it, this story was my brainchild ever since I created my account for this site. It's been in my head for a year after joining, and in November 2017, I finally gained enough confidence to start writing and publishing it. The almost-unanimous positive response at the beginning encouraged me greatly that I should continue with it.
But then the problems started happening. The first mistake I made was trying to make Zerstörung a merciful person when she's been a brutal and immoral character for almost the entire story up to that point. The negative ratings started to pile up, and I luckily spotted the problem and ultimately decided that a rewrite was needed. So, I rewrote the story, this time trying my best to keep Zer as immoral as possible but trying to make some narrow path of redemption for her at the same time.
Then the whole weird thing with Trajan came up. I believe this was my second mistake (alongside the coup de'état, where I literally threw Baron and Stiermann out in the desert to rot). There, I tried to create a clear path of redemption for Zer, because making her have feelings for someone else will always have that inevitable outcome. I intended for her to act far more cold, distant, and abusive to Aurora due to her belief that she was a lowborn parasite (being birthed by a mortal and all). But this didn't happen. I don't know why I didn't go down this route, as I felt it would have made the plot at least a bit more interesting. But I didn't. And that was also a mistake.
With all these complications for this story and the many things I'm finding wrong with it, I am officially declaring this story cancelled.
If you're incredibly saddened by this fact, don't worry, as I said in the beginning, this story is my brainchild, and it still very much is so. I'm currently thinking of an entirely new plot for a new Havoc story. It will be posted as its own separate story, and all my followers should see it. I'll also post in the blog for Havoc on its upload so that others who appreciated the original could see it as well.
Whew, that was one wall of text, wasn't it? But nevermind that, let's get on my other stories.
Despite me not having updated this in well over two years, THIS IS NOT DEAD. I really want to get back to this story, I really do, but Havoc keeps grinding me down in its fiascos and I have little time to focus on this as a result. I hope you understand.
The Butcher:
The little one-shot I did for Fallout: New Vegas. It won't become a full story, primarily because I got my hands tied already.
Havoc: Godhood:
There's a time I wonder, "Why the hell did I come up with this shit?" It genuinely confuses me how I even thought this up. But I digress.
In short, this story is also getting cancelled in favor of the new Havoc story I'm writing.
Aaaannd that's all I wanted to address. Hope this informs all of you of what I've been doing lately. And remember, you Havoc people, to watch out for that remake I'm writing, because I want to know your opinion of it as soon as it gets out.
Have a nice day.
