Okay, where to start...


I haven't paid attention or updated this story in a while. The latest chapter right now sits unfinished at about 1-2k words in my docs, and most of my drive to continue writing it has been lost.

The truth is, I don't like my own story. Well, not completely anyways.

I first started writing this back in 2014 and by god it was awful. You think those earlier chapters are bad? You'd vomit out of your eyes if you saw what originally took their place. I thought it was a great story back then, but as time went on and I tried to roll with the stuff I had given myself, well... It started to feel like more of a chore than an anything. I had to force myself to write new chapters, and wanted it to be done and over with as soon as possible. It led to a lot of shitty chapters that I'd avoid editing like the plague, afraid to see what monstrosity I had spawned previously. I know people generally criticize their own work at a much harsher level than their readers, but I was downright afraid to read what I had posted for the entire website to see. 

With that all said, I still like the concept. God knows there's not enough human-turned-Luna stories, and too many human turned-Nightmare ones. And the ones that do exist are either dead, or poorly executed. Like this one, actually. 

I want to start clean on this idea, instead of having to follow the path I set for myself years ago. That means re-writing this entire thing from the ground up. Completely new story, and a new main character. 

The concept will remain the same, obviously, and the comedy aspect would remain largely untouched, save for the retraction of the stale memes I seemed to want to force into the ending of every chapter. There's fresher memes now. 

But I'm not sure if I should go for it. On one hand, I'm probably not going to pay much attention to this story, leaving it effectively dead for months on end. And on the other, I could give myself much more room to expand and do things right if I re-wrote the entire thing. Before I did anything that drastic, I wanted the opinion of you guys. What should I do? 

Should I try and keep this going for as long as I can? Or do I start fresh?

Regardless of what I do, I plan to leave this story up. The re-write will be drastic enough to deserve a separate template, so I don't think it would break any rules. 

Show me the way, brothers. And we will find the Queen.
