Hello Readers.
I know this probably isn't the news you wanted to see when the email notification popped up, but I'm afraid that it has to be said.
Why I'm doing this rewrite:
It's been roughly a year since I began writing this fanfiction. I believe I began writing the work somewhere between the first DLC and the second DLC, waiting about 2-3 weeks before I was comfortable enough to publish the chapters I had on hand. As I was working with incomplete information in the very start of the story, I was forced to improvise and go with what seemed most plausible at the time. As more information has become readily available in the months since (interviews, datamining and further DLC waves), the original outline I based my story on is no longer a viable one, and to continue further would be to, veer too deep into non-canon, which I'm not willing to do (I'm a heavy sticker for canon).
I also admit that I regret a fairly significant portion of my early chapters and how I portrayed my OC characters. Instead of writing according to how Three Houses plays (week to week basis), I wound up writing on a day to day basis, which bogged down plot development to a boring and rather tedious pace, with "Chapter 19" of the continuation fic taking a full 33 chapters and about 9 months to conclude.
With the Fall semester of my senior year of University coming up, I've decided to start a sleeker, faster rewrite of the story, with fewer POV characters and less "waste". This will allow me to write a better product in about the same amount of time I suspect I would have needed to finish the original fiction.
To anyone who has read the original work, I thank you for reading my work, but it will be listed as Completed as I look to start anew.
Future plans:
In the meanwhile, I will focus on the Harry Potter story until I can finish a detailed outline for Three Houses (give it a week or so).
Hope to see you all in the rewritten story.
Your friendly review junkie.
