AN: Hey guys. I've been trying recently to come back after a lengthy hiatus, as evidenced by the couple of chapters that I've posted for DC Reviews and Batman (and Family) Reviews.

I'm gonna be honest. I didn't really have much, if any, motivation and creativity over the past two months. It's not that I didn't feel motivated by you guys...

I've come off the back of the most difficult, most painful, most challenging year so far of my life. Some may remember me talking about some things that were going on in earlier ANs. It's just been really tough.

I've lost one of my oldest friends. I was also graduating before the summer, and I devoted almost all my life and time to work. I pushed myself so hard, even to the point that I literally collapsed after a short run because I physically and emotionally couldn't take things anymore. It was like my body just shut down for several minutes.

Then, as some of you guys know, one of my oldest teachers (I attended a school that was both my primary and secondary school). That hit me a lot harder than I ever thought it would. Now, I had some work to do over the summer, and that death just landed a KO kick to me.

I started this fanfic to try and help me cope, which is why it sometimes got quite dark.

But all of that isn't an excuse for how much I've disappointed you guys. I HAVE failed this city. You've all been so awesome and supportive the whole time that I've been writing this, and I've let you down more than ever possible. I sincerely apologize. And I know that I don't deserve your trust and faith anymore. Believe me, no one is more disappointed and angry with myself THAN myself.

But, I am pushing myself to get back, not just into writing fanfics, but I'm trying to put everything back on track. Frankly, I need to right now.

So... I know that this next statement will probably disappoint you, and I'll probably even lose several readers...

... I am going to reboot this fanfic. Now, I shall leave this version online. I won't take it down. But there are several reasons over the past few days that have led me to this difficult decision.

First of all, I do think that the first few chapters are very weak, and I know that many people share that sentiment. I want to write chapters that are written by someone who isn't under so much weight; someone who isn't broken so much. Also, remember when I used to update almost every day? Well, I kinda wrote those chapters while watching Smallville as I tried to finally finish that show...

I have begun writing the reboot, and I am trying a new thing with all my fanfics. I'm gonna try to write a few chapters, and post one at regular intervals, keeping a few in my pocket. This is a safeguard in case that what happened before doesn't happen again.

I'm also gonna try and have a few chapters written at a time because that will help me with continuity. It's better if I know what's coming.

That brings me to point 2. I had a few ideas of what to do when I started, but as this fanfic developed, I had ideas that I thought would make a very solid fanfic. There are some things, though, that wouldn't really work because it would be very apparent in earlier chapters that the idea popped up only after several posts.

Now, I know exactly where I want to go and do, and I think I'm gonna produce a much better fanfic. Now, I also want you guys to realize that I'm not just gonna be rewriting. Things will be changed, and I think the changes are for the better. You aren't gonna just be reading the same story with slightly different words. This will be a better developed story.

I also think that a lot of people who were disappointed with the start of this original fanfic wouldn't be motivated to read the better chapters. I do think, however, that they would be open to the new version.

The third reason is the (AMAZING!) first episode of RWBY Volume 3, which I just watched a few hours ago. It has changed what I saw the future of the fanfic a bit, and it has inspired me in creating a much better streamlined and solidified storyline.

I did actually try writing chapter 14. There is a part of a second draft. But I just ultimately felt that simply going back and starting from the beginning would be better.

I'll understand if no one sticks with me. I'd probably do that if I weren't the author. But for those who will read the new (currently untitled fanfic), I thank you. I hope to regain your faith and to produce a much better fanfic.

And go book your Star Wars: The Force Awakens seats! We must beat Avatar's box office!

Anyway, thank you to everyone who has supported me and this fanfic. I hope that you'll enjoy the new version. And understand that I don't hate this one. It's very close to my heart and I love it overall. But I do think that the new one will be better.

I'll be posting later this week, I believe. Until then, may the Force be with you!
