Hello.
Sorry for the radio silence on this fic. A lot has happened since my last update. Continuing this version of 'Phantoms by Moonlight' was not one of those things. I did not like the direction it was heading and I have decided to cancel this fic, in favour of writing a new version of it.
Three main reasons I have made this decision: firstly, a lot of the story decisions I have made were more or less improvised. And it was looking like more of a mess with every draft I wrote. So I want to write a story that I know how it will play out from beginning to end.
Secondly, Persona 5 Royal. I started this fic a mere 2 months before Persona 5 Royal was revealed to be the updated re-release of Persona 5. It made me less motivated to write the story based on the original release, knowing there was an updated story that could make better material.
And thirdly, I did not what to do on the Sailor Moon side of things. I was jumping from idea to idea and none of them seemed to stick.
So my plan is that I am going to finish Persona 5 Royal, and then I am going to write an outline of the story, and won't begin writing a draft until I have an outline that I am happy with.
I do know a couple of things I will be doing for the updated fic.
I will be ditching the In Media Res prologue. I realized very early on that I would've been locking myself in following the story of the canon game and I wouldn't be able to deviate from it without problems. Getting rid of it will hopefully allow me to not only expand the story of the base game but to develop the Sailor Moon side of the fic a lot smoother.
I will be incorporating elements from Royal. P5R is part of my reason why I'm rewriting this fic so it goes without saying.
I plan on getting help from a beta that isn't Grammarly.
I'm did say that I plan on seeing this fic to its conclusion, and I intend to keep that promise. Unfortunately, I will not be posting the updated fic or any of my future fics on this site anymore.
Simply put, it is easier to clear Alexander Ultimate from FFXIV with your feet than it is posting a chapter here. I will be posting on and AO3, the links to my profiles on each site are located on my profile. I'm sorry if this inconveniences you. Hopefully, I will post the updated fic in a couple of months. And I hope you'll be able to see it. Thank you for your support. See you later.
And to , for the love of all that is holy, UPDATE YOUR UI. It's 2020, make it user friendly!
