Red vs Blue: Before the Recon

by Stelladea

Before Red vs. Blue, there was Project Freelancer. The Freelancers, already subjected to a highly competitive environment, become suspicious after the Director makes an odd but strategic collaboration. What exactly did they sign themselves up for?

34. ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello, everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for your patience. I know it has been a long time since I last updated, and I am thrilled that you are still interested in knowing Eleven's story. So... now, I have probably the most important announcement I've ever made to my readers.

As all of you know, I have spent this period of time working to complete Before the Recon. However, as I wrote the story, I found it going farther and farther from the plot of Project Freelancer and almost into its own realm.

Because of this, I have decided to discontinue Before the Recon. I am now transforming it into its own, original work, and I am going to attempt to publish it. Like a real author! :P

I realize that doing this to all of you who have stuck with me for so long is completely unfair. To make up for this, I am opening the floor to requests. If there are any scenes from Seasons 9 and 10 you'd like me to write about, I will be happy to do so. For example, I know one reader who is dying to see what happens next with North and his energy shield. If she requests that, I will most certainly write it in the same style as the rest of Before the Recon. So, in short, if there is anything of Before the Recon that you would love to see—behind-the-scenes Freelancer interaction, specific scenes from Seasons 9/10, or anything else you don't think I've done enough justice—I will fulfill your requests and update the story each week. This will continue for as long as people submit requests.

As for the original story... well... you know, Agent Eleven is my own character. While she was created for RvB fanfiction, she can exist in any world I want. The novel I'm writing is also from her point of view, but happens in a completely different universe!

I am very, very excited to be writing a real, publishable novel, and I hope that all of you—my amazing readers and reviewers—will stick with me as this project goes to completion. I would never be at this point without your support and hope that you continue to enjoy my writing.

So, there you go! Remember, After the Recon remains unchanged, and updates will still occur weekly.

Again, thank you so much, and I look forward to receiving your requests!

Yours,

Stella Holland
