10. IMPORTANT NOTICE

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

First, I'd like to thank everyone who's read this story and the few who have left a review.

Recently, I accidentally damaged my flash drive that had some of my documents, including ideas for future chapters and what was the backbone of the overall story. I could always redo that, but then I came across another issue that I could no longer ignore.

After rereading the story I've written so far, I've realized that I've made some mistakes that I could not rectify in later chapters. Basically, I didn't pay close enough attention to the subplots I was writing, which would have resulted in many plot holes and inconsistencies.

Because of this, I've decided to rewrite the story from Chapter 2 and onward.

Here's what the problem is: when I first started writing the story, I only focused on the first chapter with a basic idea and premise of where I wanted the story to go. Since Chapter 2, I've had plans for the unseen and unrevealed characters that have been lurking in the shadows, spying on our heroes. Unfortunately, I ended up disregarding some of these events as I continued planning my story. This far into the story, which is barely even the surface, I feel that I can AND WILL revise the story, yet keeping to what I had originally planned. Chapter 1 will have minor revisions, but only for grammar and just minor rewriting. Writing long chapters of lengths between 20k to 30k words is just too much for me to keep track of in one chapter. To make life easier for me, and you guys (hopefully), I've decided to make the chapters shorter, around 10k to 20k words. To make up for this inconvenience and unfortunate news, I promise to have at least ONE action scene every two chapters MINIMUM.

I cannot give a definitive date as to when the story will return because I've decided to NOT begin any rewriting until I've completely had the backbone, subplots, and loose ends completely dealt with and laid out. Sounds much better doesn't it? WHICH IS WHAT I FUCKING SHOULD HAVE DONE TO BEGIN WITH!

That said, I'm sorry for this, but I refuse to continue writing a story that will continue to add more problems for me in the future. I want this story to actually have a Sonic Adventure style feel to it, but also have character development, which is the one think that's been lacking in Sonic games for a while. For that to happen, I must put this story through a rewrite.

Again, I apologize, but I will have this story returning in due time.

Until next time!
