You Know What They Say About History

by storm101

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III hates his history lessons almost as much as he hates his name. There's no way he can live up to the legacy Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I and his Night Fury left behind them. They singlehandedly changed Viking culture, after all, and Hiccup can't even get one tiny dragon to listen to him. /An attempt to reconcile the movies with the books.

2. IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE PLEASE READ

This is not a chapter, I'm afraid, but there are several important things I need to explain before another chapter goes up.

1) I posted the first chapter of this on a whim to see if the fandom at large had any interest in the story and set up. The response has been pleasant and positive, so I'm going to continue with it. Which brings me to my second point.

2) In the course of writing the next part, I ran into a few logistical problems-expository info dumps and the narrative difficulty of referring to two different characters using the same name. I've figured out how to solve these problems, but it will require rewriting the entirety of the first chapter, making what is posted, well, inapplicable for the most part. Which is kind of confusing as to what I'll do as far as the digital copy of this story is concerned, but meh, I'll figure something out.

3) In all, this means this story is being put on an (extremely temporary, I promise) HIATUS. It will be back. And it will be MUCH BETTER than what I had been considering before, I promise. The story is good-the writing needed some work.

I'm sorry for the confusion, I thank you for your patience and understanding, and if any of this is confusing or needs clarification or ANYTHING, please please please review or leave a PM with any questions and I will answer them. Thank you to the seven people who have already left reviews! I'm glad to see I got your interest. And to those who favorited or followed me and this story, thank you as well.
