    Just a General Update

    So I know I've been pretty absent for the better part of this year, and while a big part of that was a generally being unsatisfied with where Enchanted stands in its overall quality - to the point where I was seriously considering rewriting the whole thing - I also slipped down that dangerous slope from creator to consumer. While my desire to create hasn't diminished so much, I've just been

    Current State of Affairs

    Obviously, I haven't updated the story in the past couple weeks, and I have been trying to work at it, but the more I try, the more I realize there is a glaring issue that I'm having difficulty working past. In this case, it's Aurick. I'm sure your all aware that his characterization has been spotty at best, and despite my efforts, I'm having a difficult time trying to transition him into

    Might Be Going Dark For a Bit

    A hurricane is headed my way, and depending on how hard it hits me, I might have to go dark for a time. So the next chapter will probably be delayed a bit.

    To all the others that lie within Hurricane Dorian's path, be safe.

    Hiatus Over

    Alright, I'm officially pulling the story out of hiatus now. For those that haven't kept up to date. I've decided to redo the ending of the Invasion Arc after a lot of thought. So if you haven't already, I highly recommend reading the new chapter 68. Chapter 69 will be posted within the next day or two once I finish scrubbing it.

    Stay tuned.

More edits have been put up.

After a lot of thought, I've decided to rewrite the ending of the Invasion Arc. Meaning there will be a different ending than last time. If you're wondering why I chose to do this, it's because with the results from the new ending, there will be plenty of opportunities for character development, while the old one simply allowed me to return to the status quo for the most part.

The new versions will be denoted by the (Revised) in the title.

So now it's okay say I didn't like that arc ending?

I'm excited for this rewrite, which is OoC for me as I normally abhor post publish plot changes. But the midpoint of the invasion arc I felt like there was a quality drop off from everything before it.

Even though your publish rate dropped off (observation, not complaint) each new chapter felt like it had been rushed out or broken up to get something out.

So take your time, -i can't believe I'm saying this- write the whole arc before you publish it so you can change the setup of issues you find on the back end.

I'm stoked. Have fun. Feel free to ignore/insult anything I say.

No, your right. During the invasion arc, I was becoming (pardon the pun) disenchanted with the story. Frankly, I wasn't pleased with how the more action oriented arc meshed with the story nor how it affected my perception of the story as a whole.

I thought it would be a good way to bring about character development in a swifter format than the long, drawn out method I've been using. In the end, I realized I wanted to simply write fluff, so I started to dislike the arc. Which is why production slowed (on top of a lot of shit happening irl)

Now, however, I feel I can salvage the whole operation and still obtain the character development I craved.

If anything, I'd say this whole thing was a valuable learning experience. One I hope that doesn't need to be learned again in the future.
