Welcome to the (partly) edited version of Forget-Me-Not. I say partly because it is not done being edited. Therefore, some of the chapters are gonna be good, and some are gonna be really crappy, so read at your own risk. If you get annoyed easily when things is stories contradict themselves or don't seem to be executed properly, please don't read this now. Wait until I post it on the completed list of fiction.
This story is completed at 37 chapters, as well as a prologue and epilogue. It is the longest fic I have ever written, and therefore, it badly needs editing. It is receiving editing, though at a relatively slow pace due to my busy schedule.
As an edit, there are several main things I have changed within each of my edited chapters.
1. Starting at around chapter 18, I began including songs at the beginning of each chapter I wrote. The titles of these songs became the title of each chapter. Each song is written just below the disclaimer and before the chapter in bold and italicized font. All songs are disclaimed in the disclaimers, and any songs that are in Japanese at the top are translated at the end of the chapter, after the author's note. Before I started this, I named the chapters individually myself. While editing, I've been adding songs to the beginning of each of the chapters I do. As a result, their titles have been changing. If you have read this story before, please be aware that the chapter names will NOT be the same as they were to begin with. Also, I will probably change most of the songs already placed in later chapters as well.
2. My author's notes at the beginning and end of each chapter have been edited very little. Instead, I have placed an EDIT, along with the day I did the editing, to note anything that may have been changed within the chapter. I left most of the author's notes the same (they're scary, beware), but took out the review replies I did in earlier chapters. I stopped doing this in later chapters due to fanfiction adding the Review Reply system to their reviews, and I don't see a need to keep old review replies up. At the end of the story, I will compile together every person who has reviewed and dedicate a section just to everyone who has reviewed as a way of thanks.
3. My old disclaimers have been taken off. Instead, you will now find a simple, standard disclaimer. This will include Inuyasha and co., any songs I use at the beginning and/or throughout the chapter, and any quotes I may have used. I apologize if anyone liked the original disclaimers, but personally I thought they were kinda lame. And also, I needed to make room for the songs in there.
4. The old version of this story was completely jumbled tense-wise. I am fixing that as I go along. The entirety of the story will be in present tense, because the way I wound up ending the story didn't turn out the way I had planned. If you stopped reading this story in the past solely because the tenses were weird, please read it again. I assure you that the problem has been fixed.
5. This story is being translated into German by the wonderful Kartarus. If anyone else reading this speaks German, please go check it out on his profile.
6. At the end of each chapter is now a glossary with any NEW Japanese words I may have used throughout the story. Anything that had been used in previous chapters will not be repeated.
As this story is in the process of being translated, I am trying to keep editing at a regular pace. However, with school about to start (senior year, wOOt!) and band camp these next two weeks, also combined with my unpredictable work schedule, I'm not sure how often I'll be able to update. Please continue to check back as I hope it won't be too long before this story is completely done.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy the story please!
Love,
