Author's questions to readers
Dear readers,
I have acquired an idea that will either be so stupid that it works or will crash and burn. I was thinking of whether I should discontinue this and upload Wife of Obsession with a different way in how things are handled when I had an the thought "Why not do both?"
Yes you read that right. Writing another fanfic like Wife of Obsession but handled in a slightly different manner that eliminates the flaws as best as possible. Basically like the rebuild in a sense but not in the rebuild verse. Sort of like Plan E and Inchoate, but with me typing both of the them and taking place in the original serious multiverse.
Also, should I make chapter 7: Echoes of the dark descent a "non-cannon" chapter, delete it entirely, or keep it and have it as part of the Wife of Obsession "cannon"?
When I made my apology with chapter 7 I was at the lowest with how I felt things were turning out with the fanfic and I was starting to question myself. Now that I am back to normal and that I heard both sides I now second guessing some of that too. Someone explained to me that the way the chapter was worded was like I was mocking deathbringer374, which I DID NOT WANT TO DO. Same with some of the comments that I made in previous chapters.
To me Scar Tissue is like one of those stories that exhibit a "no matter how bad things are you can find hope and make it better" and I saw that forgiveness held a great power in it. Scar Tissue and Forgiveness? Well, Asuka and Shinji forgave each other despite all of things that they put each other though and anyone who read the fanfic knows that what happened between them was not stuff people could easily put to rest.
Now I am wondering if what happen with deathbringer374 upset me because I thought I crossed one of his lines and when we cleared things up I felt better that there was no hard feelings. I know that I am going to get made fun of for caring about the feeling of someone that I do not know personally, but I will be okay as no one doxes me (With how times are now and days I am a little paranoid). The things with chapter are still something I care about, but when he told me that we were good I felt a load taken off of me, so I feel lighter as a result.
If it looked like I was trying to defend deathbringer374 whenever I would take about it in an author's notes, it was because everything is good between the two of us. The two of us said what we needed to say and I want to leave it at that. At this point I think everyone knows by now, so anything else people say is out of our hands, so this is the last time I will be speaking on the matter.
To get back on track, I still think that that things could have been handled better. Part of why I was thinking of rewriting Wife of Obsession was because choices I made with earlier chapters made this sort of thing a most likely outcome. Even if I delete chapter 7 I will end up keeping a bunch of the dark content from it that was in the chapter since other chapters detailed what happened in that second timeline. I will try and do better from now on.
Thank you for your time and have a great day.
