Hi! Long time no see! Really, really long time no see! I wasn't going to do this disappointing people because it's a note and not an update (yet) thing, but I read through the reviews again and wanted to address this. Although I don't even know if any of the people who read this/reviewed this before are still here because it's been so long (if you are thank you).

What's happening with this fic:

First of all, before anything else I am continuing this fic now. I left for a pretty long while (I'll explain that further down), but I'm back now. I've been re-reading and editing/re-writing the first two chapters and then I'm going to continue from there. I've changed a few things that I wasn't fond of to be honest (not going to lie a few things made me cringe when I read back through it, but that might just be because I don't like reading my own writing), but it's mostly the same. I'm not sure whether to post the rewritten chapters as a new story with the same title because some plot points have been changed or just swap them on this story so let me know which you think would be better.

I was considering changing the powers to match the ones in The Fractured but Whole (I was planning to continue this fic when the game was announced and honestly it was such an 'oh shit what do I do now then?' moment when the news came out), but I spent so long at the time coming up with powers that would match things that had happened in the show that I've decided not to change them. I mean it kind of works anyway because they're kids 'playing pretend' in the game whereas this is more like an AU where they're older and some of them decided to still keep their superhero identities and are taking it more seriously. Also if anything new comes out about Kenny's power origins in the near future, I might not acknowledge it in the fic unless it works with what I've written so far at that point.

Where I've been:

You can ignore this bit tbh I'm only writing it because there were some concerned comments and this is pretty much the only website where I can talk about it.

I'm so sorry I left this so long. I've been through a lot of shit in the past few years and I pretty much gave up the majority of my hobbies for a while there. At the time I wrote this, I was using fanfiction (and south park to an extent although I did love the show and have never stopped liking it) as a way to cope with losing a parent to cancer and all my friends drifting apart after high school and all of that wonderful growing up stuff. So like at some point I kind of hit a wall because not only was that the beginning of a time when I started struggling more and more with anxiety and depression, but also I went into and English Literature A Level, which made writing feel like more of a chore than a hobby and I found it really difficult to feel motivated to continue any of my fics.

After that I did start writing again for a while, but I got discouraged because I was writing scripts for a cosplay group I was part of (turned out to be a very toxic friendship group but that's another story) and they were always pushing me to write things for them so I had no time to write what I wanted to write (they stole a lot of my writing and ideas in the end so I guess the jokes on me with that one).

I'm doing a lot better now though and I love writing again, but this time it's for no other reason than I really enjoy doing it and get excited about creating something real out of the strange ideas I come up with at 3am when I should be sleeping. I fully plan to stick around this time. I'm not sure how consistent my uploads are going to be during term time though because I'm doing an English Language Teaching degree at university at the moment.

Anyway, thank you for reading this and thank you so so much for the reviews, seriously I got such lovely comments on this and I feel like I didn't address that enough at the time because I didn't think I was good enough. It's still wild to me how many people liked this fic in all honesty like I really wasn't expecting much of a response to it at the time, but I really enjoy writing it and this is my favourite genre to write so I definitely want to finish it even if it doesn't get as much love this time around.

Thank you again for the support. I'll probably be uploading the re-writes and possibly chapter 3 within the next week (or definitely by next Sunday at least because I have to plan a lesson this week and I'm not sure how long that's gonna take).

That's all I wanted to say for now. Thank you and see you later!
