Hello, hi, hello. This isn't really an update, but more of an important announcement. There's no easy way of saying, or asking this, depending on how you see this little announcement. Anyhow, here goes.
I'm rebooting this fanfic.
Now hold your fire, don't shoot me yet, there's a reason for this. The reason I'm doing this is, well, currently I'm feeling like the story is a bit of a jumbled mess and a little unsatisfied with it. Now, I'm not a quitter, I actually see potential in the characters I've crafted, which is the main reason I'm completely rewriting it as opposed to scrapping it.
Yup, my energy so far has really been put on a rebooted version of the story, with the same characters (roughly), but in a different sort of, well, story and setting. So while I'm working on that, I'm sorry to say that this original fanfic is probably going to be on hold for quite a while. But again, that depends on you guys, my viewers. If you want me to continue this, I definitely can. Being on hold doesn't mean I'm taking it down, after all. Both stories will be available simultaneously. So ultimately, this is more crowdsourcing than anything, since I want to know my readers' opinions on this before I go through with it.
"But Dreamer-san! How will I know if the rebooted fanfic will be better?"
Unfortunately, I can't answer that. You'll just have to see. However, to make it easier, I'll post just a little snippet of what the reboot is about. A short synopsis, if you will. Behold:
This is a future where Vanguard has become everything. It's become a world-class competitive game, with organizations across the globe pooling all of their resources into producing top fighters. But why the sudden surge in popularity? Why the sudden proliferation of a dog-eat-dog world of card gaming?
Because Chrono Shindou lost.
In this world, United Sanctuary, while suffering minor backlash, did not lose, and instead grew and expanded as a renowned organization, producing top fighters and the best results. It inspired the world. It spread through Japan, overtaking all the other nations and the Vanguard Association. Yet, there are those still trying to find ways to end it, even though Chrono has long since given up.
Which brings us to this world's Yomi Asano, who willingly infiltrates one of many United Sanctuary training centers, in order to find answers surrounding the sudden disappearance of her best friend after going to the same center. But what she finds may shock her to the very core, and her life will never be the same again.
So I hope that was an...interesting enough little tidbit. The reboot will probably incorporate V Series and Standard Format cards as well, in the whole spirit of V-Booting. Again, I apologize for the sudden announcement, it wasn't easy writing this, but I assure you, this isn't the end. Not by a long shot. So, tell me what you think. Yay or nay?
