I keep forgetting to put this up, so as it's on my mind at four am, and I am not yet asleep...Let's get it out of the way, shall we?
First thing. You'll notice this isn't a chapter. That probably annoys a lot of you, and I'll probably lose some of you for that. Sorry. But for those of you who are choosing to stick with me through this hiatus and annoying rambly time...Thank you. Your support means so much to me, and I am so grateful for it.
I want to apologize for not updating the LK stories in so long. I've been taking some time to figure out what to do with the LK and how to better polish them as well as focus on my stories Juvie Days (JD) and Sandstorm(SS) (check em out if you want, if you haven't already. You don't have to.) It's just occured to me that maybe this goofy lot isn't as cool or lovable as I thought.
I mean...don't get me wrong. The Legend Kids are and always will be my babies. They're very precious to me, very near and dear to my heart. They helped me through some very rough patches in my life, as well as provided stepping stones for me to descover who I am and what I wanted in life and in a partner. They were all out, loud and proud when I couldn't be. But...like every writer must I have to admit they are not perfect. I simply held them on a pedestal, because they were special to me, and I wanted them to be special for others too.
And I don't know. Maybe they already are special to you. Maybe they aren't. Either way, they are the work of a high school Junior and they need some polishing up.
That being said...I have something that's been in the works since the beginning, really. It's sort of a reboot/prequeal to the main series here. I probably won't start working on it until either (or maybe both) JD and SS are complete, but I thought I might get your guys' opinion on the matter anyway.
The prequeal would of course follow the LK, but it'll take place three years before the first book Legend Kids. You will see a detailed account of JJ's story invovling the accident that killed her friends, follow Ben's journey as they discover their identity, experience grief and loss as Ethan struggles to cope with Ray's death, you'll get a very detailed story on how Laurel met and fell in love with her girlfriend Reese, and you'll see how Kaleb breaks away from his abusive exboyfriend with Ryan's help as well as the emtional trauama that causes him. You will also see how the team first met and how they became as close as they are.
So, then what would you prefer? Would you like me to work on the prequeal after JD and/or SS? Or would you like me to wait until the main series is finished? Do you even like the idea of the prequeal, or is it something you think you might hate? Let me know what will be best for y'all and I'll get to work on some LK stuff as soon as I am able. Thank you for your patience and your time, and I hope this isn't too much of an inconvience for you.
That's all for now, toodles!
