A/N: ...To think, this was once what I assumed to be the best piece of writing I ever came up with. That's a laugh. I have a note, but it'll be a bit long.
You see, ever since I got into Kirby, my writing skill/level has shot through the roof. And ever since I started my engineering classes, my obsession over organization has also shot through the roof. This makes it very hard for me to continue the story beyond what I have in my scrap document/the Resetti Chapter (which, by the way, the idea still makes me smile because who DOESN'T like the idea of a rule-obsessed mole screaming at Master Hand). Looking back, I don't really know what people found out of this fic that was entertaining except for maybe some funny jokes/running gags. At the very least, I'm glad that Skitty Simmy didn't turn out to be a bomb considering she was the first OC I ever made; I don't use OCs unless I'm forced (but as you can see, I was VERY careful about how often she showed up and she was only really there because I was into Pokémon, and then fell out and back into 'Densetsu no Stafy'). Let me just cut straight to the point.
This has been on hiatus for almost a year now, and I think cancellation may be inevitable. I fell behind on reviewer replies (which is EXTREMELY important to me; I love talking to all you guys!), my writing style changed too radically (this is a very simple story and I am now very complicated), and I don't know crap about some of the new people in Smash 4 (I don't even HAVE it) and some of them, I could really care less about (which also tilts me the wrong way because I make a strong point to treat all characters equally). Also, the style this is set up in may be illegal because it's not really an actual 'story' to begin with. What format IS this, anyway? I don't know.
I apologize to all the viewers I've had on this, as somehow, it was probably my most popular story so far (buuuuut this is a bigger archive than I normally write for...) I've really appreciated all your support and you all kept me going on this. I promise you that at the least, this is not the end. I do still have some scrapped messages that I never used, and I still really love the idea of a Resetti-devoted chapter (but again, who doesn't?) If I get back into Smash Bros someday, I assure you, I will include these updates with whatever I post. If you wanted to continue the idea yourself, go ahead; I'm not going to do anything with it (though if you wanted some publicity, PM me the story link and I will post it here under a continuations heading). I really doubt that'd happen since people worry about not making it go the way the original author wanted (and I don't really think it's THAT good to be continued), but I'm not in Smash Bros. archive anymore (I'm in Kirby/Mario currently) and even then, your ideas are your ideas-the characters I like are humiliated on here anyway and I still read the stories.
So again, I apologize deeply. You guys were really awesome about this even when you waited forever for updates, and you put up with my stupid, immature self. I won't delete this, seeing that so many people liked it, but I'm surprised it's held up this long. I can't say I'm sorry enough, so I'll just say thanks for reading, and for reading this long author's note, and if you had any questions about the story, just PM me. I'll try to leave everything as it is rather than editing it, but I will delete some author's notes because I swear, I embarrass myself so much as a little kid...
Thank you all for reading. You made this a great story.
