Well hi there everyone. It's been a while, hasn't it?

I'm sure most of you are going to be completely disappointed that this is not another chapter. Trust me, I'm disappointed in me just as much as you are XD but alas, this is not a new chapter. This is, instead, an update.

I've been recently getting a lot of people finding me through social media and commenting on here asking if I will ever be continuing Recalibrate.

Short answer? Absolutely.

Long answer? It's going to take a bit of time.

To be quite honest with you all, there are several reasons why this story hasn't been taken care of in a long time. For one, going off to college has literally taken all moments of my life, and free time has been hard to come by. I'm also living on my own, and so, any free time that I do have, is taken by the sweet chore of money making. To add to it all, I now currently live with my partner of 1 year (I'm gay, who woulda guessed it?), so instead of being a person who sits around and writes and obsesses over Legos on their free time, I now go out on dates.

However, as college slows down and I come closer to grasping my finished major (geology), I find myself with the urge to write again, and finally finish this story, and give you all the ending that has been in my brain since forever.

This is where we come to the second issue/excuse as to why I have not been writing and have been a horrible person to all of you. In freshman year of college, I fell out of the fandom.

Surprisingly enough, the fandom isn't what caused me to fall out of love with it, because I know it can be toxic at times, especially when it comes to shipping (or at least it used to be). Instead, it was the "re-make" of the show that caused me to lose my passion. And yes, I gave it a try, I really did. I watched the Sons of Garmadon season and everything. But something was off. The magic wasn't there, and so, my inspiration to write about the gay boys flew out the window with the rest of my mental health (the mental health thing wasn't linked to the show, they just happened to leave me at the same time :D).

But as I said earlier, I've been bit with the writing bug recently once more. Maybe it's because I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life? That I'm in a really good, not toxic relationship, unlike the relationship I had during all the chapters I ever wrote? (aka sometimes men really suck). But whatever the reason, I'm back again, looking to finish Recalibrate (hopefully) in the next two years.

But I had to get myself into it. And so, with expectations low, I did the next best thing I could think of to get myself back into the story. I re-read Recalibrate.

S

I don't know if any of you have gone back to those first 10 chapters or not recently but. OUCH. My writing was defiantly a far cry from what it was in the last couple of latest chapters. Romantic tension who? Character development what? Consistent plot where? To put it lightly, Recalibrate needs some major TLC.

So, here's the goal y'all. In order to pseudo-force myself into Recalibrate once more, I'm going to be going back and editing ALL the chapters. Yes. All. I'll be posting each new updated chapter in place of the old one, and then posting a fake chapter to announce its release, all the way up until EVERYTHING has been torn apart and slapped together by yours truly. Not only will it give new readers some actual good content, but will also help all of you who have been following along for god knows how long (seriously, bless you guys) to re-read the fic to catch yourself up while enjoying it, instead of wanting to rip your hair out like I did when I reread it.

Even if no one reads this, or no one comments saying something along the lines of "wtf Matty where you hecking been gimme those gay ninja bois", and I'm simply posting to the void of nothing, I will still be editing every. single. chapter.

I'm hoping this will propel me back into Recalibrate, so I can finally get this dang thing done (ya'll don't even know how much the guilt of leaving this story behind leaves me with every day).

Thank you, guys, again for sticking around for this absolutely crazy ride of a horrible author with a horrible internal motivation. I seriously can't thank you guys enough for caring about my story and making me want to care about it too.

See you all soon 3

p.s.: You can still find me on all my social media, I tend to post all of my stuff there, including Recalibrate updates from time to time. My Tumblr is 0-scorch-the-earth-0, and my Instagram is silly_slytherin. I am MUCH more active on my insta, and I reply very quickly to DMs on insta. Tumblr sucks at letting me know someone wants to talk to me, but Tumblr is also where I post anything Recalibrate related, sooooo both is good.
