Don't Get Excited

Like the title says, and like you should've been able to figure out based on the word count in the email, don't get excited. If anything, you should get majorly disappointed.

There's going to be one more chapter to this story because I just have to write it out of my system. Then this story will be coming down shortly after that chapter goes up.

After going back and re-reading a lot of stuff, I have determined that many, many things can be done better, such as the intros of the Masters, and the omission of those rather stupid "intro videos" that I came up with. That was just word fodder. And completely unnecessary.

However, not on the list of things that will be altered or changed is the modern setting. The modern setting is a huge point to this story and its overall message, and so while it will be tweaked, it will not be going away.

Also, an update on my novel while you're here: One of the agents got back to me out of the four I emailed months ago, and it was another rejection! I also got a response back from one of the publishing companies—rejection again! Not that I'm feeling beaten down, but I am strongly considering self-publishing through Amazon on the Kindle Store. Just like I see many improvements that can be made to Chaos War, I see many improvements that can be made to by novel, so I suppose it's a good thing no one wants to publish it, because it's technically not finished.

Now, this story isn't abandoned. It will come back, better than before, after I finish Sea Devil and Transcendence. I have no idea when that will happen, because where SD probably has less than five chapters left, my muse isn't on it right now. Never mind AC:T, where even though I have the interim Hellblazer arc, the Battle of the Labyrinth arc, and the Fifth Life arc all in my head, I have zero motivation for that story.

All the Reviews I've been going through, the fact that it was literally ripped off by some nutcase saying it's the "better" version when it's only just a copy/paste with an OC in place of Percy, and the lack of attendance across the board have really made it hard to continue that story.

It's not coming down, I'm way too deep in it, but it's hard to go back to it.

Months after my return from my hiatus to finish my novel, I'm still trying to figure out where everyone went. Reviews are down, and the Views and Visitors are down, like a switch was flipped at some point, and now only dozens of people come read my stories compared to what used to be hundreds. Even the people whose Reviews I'd seen coming in for years have gone silent on me.

Just what happened?

Anyway, enough about that.

Yeah, one more chapter of this because I need to get it out of my system, and then this story comes down for a revamp after the other two pieces of the puzzle are completed. Eventually.

Four Reviews so far on the newest chapter of Voidwalker, but that was a rather nasty chapter so I guess that's my fault.

Sorry for those still looking out for that Shin'en/RWBY crossover, that's on the backburner. But be on the lookout for that story I teased at the bottom of Voidwalker. There won't be any real plot to it, just me having some fun as I see fit.

And—oh!

I need help with this one, because I think I've gone crazy.

Does anyone remember a big, long Author's Note that I wrote that detailed my thoughts and opinions of the Tower of Nero and the overall ending of the Trials of Apollo? I put tags above and below it that said *Spoiler Alert* and *Spoilers Over* or something like that. I talked about Nico's past versus Sally's past, Reyna joining the Hunters, Piper suddenly being a lesbian, Percy's failure, the cut and dry story, how the only death was the Arrow of Dodona, etc.

Does anyone remember a big AN like that? I SWEAR I wrote it—I thought I wrote it here in this story, but after going through the chapters, I couldn't find it, and I couldn't find it on Sea Devil, and I couldn't even find it on the chapters of that Star Wars story that I still have saved to my computer.

If you remember an AN that I wrote like that, please tell me where it is, or if I said I'll take it down and have since forgotten that I took it down.

Thanks.

And sorry about my ramblings. It actually felt nice to get some of this off my chest and keep y'all in the loop.

Hoping you're all well and okay,
