Chapter 03 – Aiming for the Future
Xander Harris opened his eyes and stretched before sitting up from his position where he had been lounging on a large comfortable couch. He spent a moment looking around, taking in his surroundings, before turning to the people that he knew were watching his every move. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"What an ordeal. It's been what... seven years, since this story began, something like that? I know that it looks like nothing has been done in all that time, but I can guarantee that the writer has been hard at work. All we can do is ask for your patience."
Xander stood and began to pace, as he tried to make people understand his difficulties.
"My creator has issues, both in his real life and with making decisions, but he has never given up on this world that he has put his heart and soul into. The thing is... he had to start from scratch to fix some plot issues. That and he believes he has grown as a writer. After much debate, he has decided to completely remove what he has already posted and start at the beginning." He nodded knowingly. "Believe me, I understand. I really do. I can't imagine how long some of you have waited. I imagine that many of you have given up on any hope that this tale will ever be completed, but all we can do is ask, nay beg for a little more patience. There is much work to do, but the one who scribes my tale is hard at work even now. My story will be told in full."
Xander nodded to himself before gathering up some paperwork on the desk in the corner of the room and riffling through it to make sure everything was in order. "You can find the new version on the author's page under the title 'Xanderpocalypse Rewrite."
He set the paper's down and took his coat off the hook by the door. After pulling it on, he turned once more. "I guess that all there is left to say is... I'll see you there."
