Somebody pm'd me to ask me how this was going to end and I realized I did in fact have it in me to post this. Sure wish I'd managed it six years ago! Things in parentheses are the bits that'd take too much time to handle in this format.

I'm posting any ANS material I get. Here's one! A New Sun Rewrite, by Pinklestia.

To reiterate, A New Sun is dead. It's so dead that I'm having trouble forcing myself to summarize the ending. But I know a lot of people still care, because they've told me so. More to the point, someone just asked me for permission to do a sort of rework of ANS.

I'm busy with school, my hands hurt, and it turns out my dog has pancreatic cancer. So these are going to get shorter, but they have to happen because, I don't know, they just do.

The following is either one or two chapters.

Meanwhile, Playboy puts out a special rush issue with Celestia on the cover and consisting mostly of the interview (they found time for that one photograph, never mind how). It turns out that Bob, the interviewer, didn't edit out a damn thing except where Celestia requested the removal herself. Celestia's power and personality are both a matter of public record now. Jeff compliments Bob's testicular fortitude in ignoring all censorship demands in the name of honest journalism, but Bob

And then Celestia gets an idea. The elements of harmony worked once, so why not again? The elements can do anything. If anything can turn Inca into a peaceful and orderly society, it's the elements. She's had this on her mind for a while, and she's been grooming people she thinks highly of for this purpose, people such as Mag, Bittermann, Valerie (as a fixer-upper, admittedly), and a few other possible candidates.

You saw the other one? I've been uneasy about my treatment of this made-up South American culture. I worried it was a little irresponsible. the author's notes at the end would have been a lengthy discourse of what I know of Incan culture irl, and what it's turned into in the modern day and how they're doing. I'd have briefly covered the natives of Bolivia and Chile, and made it clear that there are huge differences between the real South American natives and the stuff in fiction. Sorry, people,

First of all, here's what I had of chapter 27.

----

Celestia had left after announcing an intention to draw up a bubble bath, and Jeff had hurried off to learn more about the Nightmare’s host. Mag and Bittermann sat together in the rec room, Mag with all of the CIA files, textbooks, and encyclopedias Jeff had been able to find and leave with her on short notice, Bittermann with Jeff’s handgun disassembled in front of her for cleaning. The room still smelled like spilt vodka.

This sucks shit, but I've got to cancel A New Sun. It's just not going to happen. I don't have the time, and I can't bring myself to deal with this fic's inherent, snowballing flaws anymore. I can gush about what I intended for anyone who wants that, about future plans and so on.

if I ever find the time I might come out with a one-shot or two. I still love writing, and this site isn't dead yet for some reason.
