AN: Hello to anyone who is still floating around this ancient but immortal community.
I've been off the map with this story something like... god maybe six years. I recently and randomly started rereading To bedlam and Part Way Back by brocanteur on AO3 and it literally pains me something rotten that there was no closure. I just wanted an answer. So natually, as a writer who formed a story/child of my own that I poured an unfathomable amount of emotion into, I thought of when words fail, and this is the one story I want there to be closure within. It is heartbreaking and incredibly long winded. I thought about how I wanted to end it dozens of ways. However, rereading it now, I am not only left feeling stranded but unfulfilled. And this was formed at a time when I think I was also forming myself as my own person. It feels like me.
So rest assured, Skins fans, I'm coming back and we are giving our girls closure. And my gift to you is the knowledge that the end will not be devastating. Too and so much of it already is.
That being said, I'm looking at rereading and potentially nixing the last few chapters. It simply isnt related to the story or where I wanna take it. There was a very distinct tone I wanted to pull out of the emotions and I'm losing it. So, I need your help.
Readers and writers who have stayed with me so far: I need you to either comment or PM me your thoughts on the 2 following questions:
1. Do I rebuff the entire story from scratch, making a more refined writing style? I would truly invest in starting from Chapter 1 hoping to channel brocanteur/ Crevette styles
and 2. Would this be better as third person omniscient like I've started in newer stories or keep the first person style?
The girls are back.
