Hello, all.
This is the author, of course. I'm writing to say that this fic is being discontinued.
I've thought about this intensively for a long time, I've weighed the pros and cons, and after re-reading it, I'm just not satisfied with how I did just about everything. I think I focused too much on humor and the relationship between Hanners and Kirk, rather than Hanners, Kirk and Spock as a family unit. Also, the new arc was just too much of a change from the previous chapters that were more gag-based and dialogue heavy rather than dramatic and emotional. Honestly, I read the story and wanted to cry in shame. It's not the story I want to tell anymore. It's become like SpongeBob after the movie: bad gags and sloppy humor. And I don't want to continue down this road, because if I do I fear I'll turn into the writers of Family Guy and make someone an annoying mouthpiece for my own views.
However, despite the fact that I no longer care for this story, I still find the premise to be interesting.
So, I'm going to do what they did with the Spiderman Movie-verse after the Raimi Trilogy.
That's right: it's reboot time.
I've decided to rewrite the story, this time in a more dramatic and planned out manner. The reboot will be called 'Lullaby', and while there will be humor and sweet family moments, it will be more plot-oriented and less gag-based.
I hope you all understand my decision and respect that I want to try something new with this premise. Thank you for all your support. Without you lovely people, I wouldn't be the writer I am today.
