Nimbus

Update

Hey everyone! I appreciate all the attention and faithful reviews and constant reading and encouragement. I truly, truly love hearing from you and how this story and its predecessor, Thunder Clouds, has affected you and made you a bigger fan of this story. I honestly am so extremely happy that this story still get some attention despite my inability to update as frequently as I used to.

That being said, and to clear things up—

Nimbus is NOT being discontinued.

It is, however, going to go under a short hiatus (and by short I mean maybe a few months) and won't return to its regular update schedule until April or May of 2016, this year.

Why?

If you guys already follow me on Tumblr – username K-lionheart – then you may or may not have stumbled into a post that explains why, so you can skip this next paragraph. If not, keep reading!

The reason why I've decided to pause Nimbus is because of a few issues concerning Thunder Clouds. That's right. Thunder Clouds is going to be re-constructed and improved to match the quality and storytelling depth that Nimbus has evolved into. Some of this issues have to do with a lot of plot development—and some serious plot-holes that need fixing—and continuity errors. Frankly put, TC does not do Nimbus enough in building the pathway to read it and I want the story to do its part in really making Nimbus feel better than it already does. How come? Well, if you aren't already aware, TC and Nimbus have been written in such a way that they follow canon events, or rather, ensure their involvement. I want this story to feel as genuinely close to the canon as possible, but of course, there are several things that diverge from the story—such as headcanons and split ideas that have little to no chance of happening in the canon because, YAY, this is still very much an AU.

A lot of you may feel very sad that you won't find out what happens next very soon—and I am profoundly aware of how disheartening that is as a reader. However! Rest assured that Thunder Clouds is going to be fixed to such an extent that when you read it again, it'll be like reading a whole new story! (Well…within reason, lol)

The first chapter is already written and ready for publishing and will be up as soon as I make sure I have every little detail cleaned up and polished.

What about the original TC? If you really like it, I will leave the current version up on my AO3 account – K_Lionheart.

The new version will be added here, as well as on AO3 as a new and separate story. It will also be available for download.

That's about it! If you guys have any questions, such as an official release date, I will make any and all announcements on my tumblr blog, fanfiction dot net profile page, and my AO3 profile page as well.

Thanks for the support!

Yours

Midori Aoi (aka K-lionheart)

P.S

I might end up changing up my fanfiction URL too, so keep an eye out for that. (Or maybe not, I've been Midori Aoi for over a decade, and I still rather like it.)
