Hellsing: Retribution

by sunkissedvampire

The legacy of defeat by a weak creature such as man, to hide in the shadows while the world slowly rots and men waste away in front of their screens. There is no grandeur left here: no opulent wars, no honor in death, no secrets or darkness to discover. It has all been fought, killed, and seen by us and our enemies. This world is dead. A new one must be created in its place.

11. Ranting Authors Note

Hey guys! I know it has been a while. I apologize I haven't updated in a long while. I am typically the type of person that gets into writing and then falls off, partly due to lack of inspiration, but also largely due to depression. However, my more recent works, since 2016, I have devoted myself to rereading and delving back into in an effort to surpass this. Regretfully, I now own and run my own business, so many of these will not be touched in a while.

I would like to say that, while I have 70K posted for this story, I had it planned, plotted, and nearly completed when I gave up. A large part of my disinterest was due to some of the reviews I received. Honestly, I found it very frustrating that some readers felt the need to point out lack of characters, or where they thought a character wasn't at their full potential, when I had everything planned out and patience was all that was required. To top that off, it is fanfiction, and the characters can be written however we would like and if it's not you're cup of tea then don't read. That's not to say I don't appreciate constructive criticism, because I do, believe me do I need it. But those reviews are not constructive, readers are passionate about characters, they won't to see them justly represented, I get it, but criticizing a story for lack of what you want is silly and a waste of time, just don't read it. This is an anime/manga that I am extremely passionate about. I even cosplayed Seras! So you best bet your butts I did my research, additionally, this was a story that three brains constructed and developed, not just myself, so the doubt is frustrating and had me hella butthurt. I felt like, if I posted the next chapter in which those characters had their moment, it would come off as my attempt at appeasing said reviewers even though I had it written weeks ago. You know that moment when you finally decide to clean your room then your parents or guardian slams the door open and yells out you to clean it.

I do not condone this mentality, obviously it is flawed and childish and I should have kept posting, but past sunkissed didn't know any better. Anyways, I will be rereading and possibly editing before I post more.

Hit me up if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
