Update Chapter
Hey Everyone. Now you may have known by the title of this section/chapter that there is something that I must tell you about The Time of Amity and where it is at the moment in terms of development. This applies to everyone who reads this novel and is enjoying it so far.
To begin, I must break some bad news to you guys. I'm afraid I must stop production for this story for now. Due to the recent review of SKda Gamer who brought multiple issues to my attention, thank you very much for that review by the way, I must stop production to do a full rewrite of the last few chapters to fix these issues. This will mean that the story will be a lot longer and will be far more polished for you guys. I just want to apologise for having to do this and stop the flow of the story. I know quite a lot of you were enjoying it and I know this must be very annoying for you but me and Cheetah have decided that this is the best option. I hold my hands up and say that this is my fault for not planning this first. I think I was just a bit too excited to get my first fanfiction started that it completely slipped my mind. Anyway, I think I need to tell you why I am doing this. Most of the issues are on SKda Gamer's review on chapter 10 but I'll mention the ones that really put this idea into play.
The first one is realism. This story lacks a lot of it. This is completely my fault and I take full responsibility. The relationships are just too rushed and it just doesn't work. I feel like the bond between Spyro and Cynder needs a lot more work as in more chapters to do with when they're alone in avalar and just spending more time together before they actually become mates. I don't know why I put in the hatchling talk, it just didn't make sense and I'm glad that SKda brought this to my attention. Like he said, they're far too young to be talking about them and it just doesn't seem realistic. Let me know what you guys think about this with a review.
Second issue is time jumps. Basically, I'm just thinking that the story is way too bunched together and there is no sense of time in it. As I said before, the story is really rushed and just has no sense of time in it. I noticed this from when I was rereading the earlier chapters and it just suddenly went from Spyro and Cynder saying they love each other one day, to instantly proposing to each other the next, it just doesn't work so I'm gonna need to rewrite that. Again, let me know what you guys think about this.
I'm sure there are a lot more issues that I have missed out and you can find them in SKda's Review. I just want to know your guys' opinion on this.
Do you want me and Cheetah to…
Ditch this story and just forget about it?
Finish off the story and leave it as it is?
Or write a new, polished and fully planned out one while planning the improvements for this one and rewriting the other chapters?
The decision is all yours but I am gonna put the story on hold for now while I let you decide. If you have anymore questions or just want to chat, feel free to PM either me or Cheetah as we would love to fill you guys in. Take care everyone and I'm sorry if you feel betrayed at all, it's just I want what's best for the story and also to make the best reading experience for you guys. I just hope you understand.
I hope you have an amazing morning, afternoon or evening…
And this is Mystic signing off… ^_^
