Where have you been, you all ask?

Well the answer is, I've spent the last months obsessively nitpicking and rewriting the early chapters of Flight or Flight in order to live up to my standard of quality. In my last update, I promised this would happen, expecting only to rewrite the first five chapters or so.

I... might have gotten a little carried away and decided to just edit everything I have written so far.

Reading back through, I realized how much felt... outdated and sloppy, how some aspects of our winged girl's behavior didn't match the character I wanted to write. That's all been fixed, as well as adding a plethora of further detail. Basic plot stuff has not changed, so if you're not in the mood to reread, that's perfectly fine with me.

I was originally planning on holding off this author's note until I had finished all my editing, but uh... I realized that was stupid considering how long I've been absent already. So instead I've split the update in half. The first ten chapters of Fight or Flight have already been replaced and are ready to read.

Cross-posting to A03 is still a work in progress, as I'm focusing on finishing all of my edits first.

Unfortunately, the author's notes from the chapters were casualties of war, but I have original copies saved on my drive just for me. Also, all oneshot scenes from author's notes and at the ends of chapters will be cleaned up and moved over to Side Stories, where they belong.

I can never thank all of you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the newly edited content as much as I do!
