Whaz up ladies, gents an' other! It's been forever and a day, and it gets worse. This story never really clicked with me as much as I'd like. When I wrote about Tatsuki and Ichigo on my off time, all I could think about was their relationship and where they'd come into play in the universe I'd planned. Yes, I planned a universe! It would've taken five feet of flowcharts to explain everything about one civilization! However, I've put this story on the back burner for so long that I can't resume it without having to redo everything from scratch, and that's not fair to the people who enjoyed the story for what it was: faults and all.
This wasn't what I wanted to post. I wanted to post another chapter after so long, but...I can't. I could barely write the characters Bleach had to begin with, especially since I started writing this when I was still getting the edginess outta my system. Due to that, a lack of serious understanding pertaining to the source material, and an impatience in my desires to get to the rest of my fanfiction universe, I forced myself into a corner as more and more stories wanted to be written. Hell, I've been thinking about writing an actual book of all things!
If I hadn't dropped this story to work on my other projects, maybe this wouldn't have happened, but the fact is I lost my passion for this story and everything it was. That includes the story lines that were being pulled outta my ass and the Gary Stu that was Imagebak! I loved writing this story, and I loved entertaining you, but resuming it would require me getting back into a story that wasn't much to begin with. In order to resume, I'd have to start fresh and write something good, but then I'd run into overstressing myself with too many stories.
Back when I started, I wasn't really aware how many people would like my writing and how much it would change me. I loved writing this, but that love has faded and I'm left to look at something that I've come to realize was-mind the pun-as hollow as the characters. The characters were a lot like those of Asterisk War, where they behave according to necessity for plot progression. This story was fun for what it was, but it's expired.
Maybe, down the line, I'll come back to this story so I can reboot it. Until that day, I suppose this will act as a memento to a time of development from an edgy idiot to an adult. For now, until the day this story-the one you signed on for-is resurrected, I'm gonna suggest you read my more recent works like "A Drake's Fable" and "Ongoing Slayer Wars". The latter suffers from the same issues this story and "The Youki Chronicles" did, to a point, and then it starts to sober up from the idiocy to start telling a more compelling story.
The former's a lot better in that the story I'm trying to tell's a lot more cleanly told. For now, this is me signing off of this story. I can't tell y'all how sorry I am that I couldn't finish this story. I'd actually, for a few weeks now, been trying to talk myself into continuing and switching the focus from the action to the romance...but I couldn't do it. I guess I won't be seeing any of you from now on, huh?
