To all Followers and Readers:
My apologies for ghosting out; there's no excuse for that.
To explain what's been going on, it's easier to simply say my life blew up. Living situation became untenable as my job wasn't enough to support my partner and I while they were searching for a job. Stress of working a job I hated, for barely a sustainable wage, for stupid long hours (average of 12/day), just sucked the life out of me. We later moved to a more amicable position and I slowly resumed writing while my partner jumped into the career search with gusto.
That brings me to a decision I leave to you, regarding the future of this story. I can:
a) delete it and all associated comments to upload the rewrite "fresh,"
b) upload the "new" chapters that I've been rewriting and editing over the existing chapters, or
c) close the current story and upload the rewrite as it's own story.
There are pros and cons of each position, such as being able to look back and see the evolution of my writing (even if I'm the only one who does that). There's also the issue of the comments won't line up with the rewritten chapters.
You can see I'm in a bit of a pickle. That's why I've decided to solicit your input folks; I need an opinion outside of my own head.
I'll take your opinions until Andromeda releases worldwide (March 23rd) via Private Message.
