Hey guys! Long time no see! …read?...type? Eh, whatever. Nice to see you all again!

Now I know I've been on an impromptu hiatus for a few months now with no explanation or anything so I decided to take this chance to both address that, some other things, and the future of this fic going forward

NOTE: WHEN THIS AUTHORS NOTE IS DELETED IT WILL SHOW UP AS AN UPDATE. IF IT SAYS ITS UPDATED AND THIS AUTHORS NOTE HAS DISAPPEARED THAT IS WHY

So I realise that its only been nearly two months, and in the grand scheme of things (especially fanfiction) a hiatus that long is practically nothing. I've followed stories which have gone on like three year hiatus' even. But still, I do feel bad for doing so with no explanation whatsoever. So here it is.

Im finishing Highschool this year. As I speak I have four weeks until im done completely, that even includes end of year exams. This also means that school has been a huge focus and has made writing in general pretty difficult unless I was 210% hyped to write a chapter or story. I know that's not exactly a bulletproof excuse as many of you know I have updated multiple stories in that time. It is one of the reasons.

On the topic of the end of the year. On November 30 GMT+8 (My birthday) ill be starting a Kofi page to both make my life a little easier and to also make writing more frequently (hopefully) a more realistic goal.

The next thing is that my stories on Ao3 (You should totally check them out btw. Same username as on here. Just with an underscore) have dominated most of my writing time. This is mainly due to the fact that they are all MHA fanfics. And as I read the manga for MHA weekly. Im constantly kept hyped and given ideas for fanfics and chapters. This doesn't mean I don't like writing Naruto crossover stuff but I will admit I haven't been reading nearly anywhere as much as I used to in terms of fanfics.

And finally, I've been thinking about lots of things regarding this fanfic. Overall this fanfic is both my best and worst in my own opinion XD
This fic suffers from what I like to call "Bleach-ism" as just like the Bleach manga. This idea was developed from cool ideas/characters/fights and the story was built around them instead of the other way. As I believe it should be when writing a good story.

But at the same time this fic is my first ever posted, my most famous by a fucking huge margin and also the one that's the closest to my heart. I've put so many cool ideas and concepts into this story and have so many more planned out.

This is why the flames for this fic hurt particularly bad. But about…..three weeks? After the posting of the last chapter. Reading back through the reviews. I realized something thanks to the flames and criticisms (by no means do I condone flaming. Im just saying in this case they lead me to this revelation). A lot of people lately have been complaining about both the chapter sizes and also how every chapter feels like filler with nearly no story progression happening. And to those who think that. I think you're wrong.

See, I think I realise why so many people think this way and its because the story isn't just focused on Naruto and Co. like the beginning chapters. I'm now juggling many, many storylines and character developments in the same amount of space, and thus it feels like everything is moving at a grindingly slow pace.

This lead me to the question of "how can I fix this?" And at the time, I really didn't have a satisfactory answer. Since then I've read a lot more. Watched videos and talked to my fanfic friend TheRiku260 a lot, both about my own fanfics and also hers. See, I realized that in terms of a lot of things in this fanfic I had written myself into a corner with poor planning, laziness and rushing chapters. And even though its only been two months (nearly) I feel like I've grown in leaps and bounds. I now believe I know how to dig myself out of many of these corners I've dug myself into but that brings me to my next issue.

To bring this fanfic back to something that I can be proud of (Because I know a lot of you adore this fanfiction highly already) I would need to do one of two things.
1) I would need to dedicate one to three chapters just to fleshing out the world, characters, relationships, etc. And these aren't like 2K chapters either (If they are im going to punch myself because that will be me skipping corners again) these are like 5-6K
2) I would need to spread my focus to other characters and storylines to try and slowly drag it to a satisfactory position. But this will take a while and might cause more problems down the line (Not too sure but it could).

Failing to do either of these things would leave me having to end this version of the fanfic and completely reboot it. But the reboot, though starting similar to this version, would end up in a completely different spot to this version. Personally im not too keen on this idea but I still prefer it far more than just never working on DS or a story like it again.

Im telling you all this because I want to hear what you guys reckon I should do. As I can be pretty indecisive at times and not to mention this fanfic is like 80% for you guys anyways. I care about your opinions and want to make this the best that I can with your help.

This is pretty much all I wanted to talk to you guys about and if you've read this far I really, really thank you. I really love all you guys and I cant wait to read all your reviews (Pls no flames. This is meant to generate constructive criticism not people telling me to kms or getting angry about me possibly rebooting it or anything) and for those with accounts. I'm always happy to PM you guys.
