The Odd Misadventure Of Libby Fernwright

by gentlereminder

Libby somehow finds herself stuck in Middle Earth and forced to join a Hobbit, a Wizard and 13 Dwarves on a quest to kill a dragon. What could possibly go wrong? (Under reconstruction.)

17. Important Update

Important Update.

This story is going over some very serious reconstruction. I started this when I was 14, mostly as a hobby and to distract myself, and am now older and, hopefully, wiser. I will try to write in the same style as this but I'm pretty sure you will be able to tell the difference when rereading this.

I desperately wish to make Libby seem not so Mary-Sue like and am going over this entire story (yes, all nearly 110,000 of this) to change and add new bits. I don't know if this fandom is dead or alive to be quite honest, but this fic means a lot to me, believe it or not.

Time and time again, I have thought to myself why not just delete it? Truth is, this is a story I often think back to and it is something I want to see out to the end. Many times have I started a fic and many times I have not finished it. Stories I write tend to end up novel length and while it is fun for the consumer, it is not fun for me.

Iremind people, I was only 14 when I started and towards the end, when I stopped updating, I was going through a rather rough patch in my life. I wrote this story to escape but it soon ended up being something I loathed to write.

I want to finish this story. I will finish this story. But it will take time and a lot of effort on my behalf, and patience on your behalf.

I have since drifted from the Middle Earth fandom so if there are to be any future chapters, there might be mistakes on character names or on certain events that happened. If you have read this by now and noticed that there has been something strange inconsistencies in this story thus far, that is because they have not been edited as of yet. Every chapter, I will state whether or not they have been updated.

Libby will still be Libby but when I have started to write original chapters instead of editing, you will definitely see a change in character in that she is far more serious. I have spent much of the past three years writing from the point of view of another character who is very different from Libby and I don't know if I will ever be able to capture the essence of the story as before.

Descriptions will be long, chapters less dialogue driven and updates infrequent but, hopefully, hopefully, this story, and Libby, will see the ending I have envisioned for so long.

Thank you, and keep watch of that updated status.

Yours truly,

Gen.
