Hello my readers,

I just wanted to thank you for all the support and to make an announcement. This story is currently going under a massive rewrite and I'm not talking about plot and grammar. I will be posted under the name "Kingdom Hearts: Re: Birth by Sleep."

When I first started the story I was just entering high school. Needless to say that by now (my junior year) both my writing style and characterization has grown. At first I had only a very general idea of what the end of the story was going to be. The plain pretty much boiled down to giving all my favorite characters from all my favorite books/show/movies a key blade and letting them have at it. As fun as that sounds it got a little too much off topic and everything went a little too much according to Aero's plain to be realistic.

Fair warning: it will be loaded with spoilers especially Terra's ending and Ven's beginning (the seine with him wrapped up in a blanket). I found a rough translation on line and was able to get the general idea of what was going on and fell in love. So if you hate spoilers please, as much as if pains me to ask, don't read. I will be leaving the old version up for a while.

Just for fun I've included an explanation of things I've hinted at but will be abandoned in the new story. You are welcome to use and or mutilate them for your own stories if you want.

The Court of Kingdom Hearts: was supposed to be a group of thirty six keybladers form both dark and light that have control over kingdom hearts. It would have the hierarchy of a chess board. A king from dark; a king from light. A queen from dark; a king from light. And so on and so forth. The 'chasers' rings were a status of membership.

Why it was cut: too many plot wholes. What I've typed above was about all I had for it.

Blaze/Malaton: The character is not completely cut I'm just going to be a bit more forth right about the fact that they always the same person. His back story has changed in regards to his connection to Xehanort. He originally changed his name to escape the stigma of his mother but in the new story he never got the chance.

Why it was cut: he wouldn't have been the only character with a duel identity and it would have just been a bit too much.

Sonny: again not completely cut just has his story simplified. Originally he was a small child who made himself look older in order to help people.

Why it was modified: Since I began taking a physiology course I realized that his character wasn't realistic.

Izzy: Her part has not been cut, has been expanded along with that of a couple of her friends.

Why: Can't really explain without giving out massive spoilers for the story.

Koji/Koichi/Shaman King/ Twilight: as of now they have been almost completely cut. If the characters show up at all it would be at about the same capacity as most of the final fantasy characters. Just fillers.

Why: as I said before it was originally my intent to have a main cast of at least thirty six. Not happening. I'm going to have enough of a time handling the reduced cast of about a dozen.

(Gollum Chapter five): with this I was trying to show Morose's ability to make a doll like copy of someone. Here she was perfecting her skill. Latter she would have made a doll of someone the keybladers didn't know and thought was real to drive a wedge between Aero and Terra. Needless to say it wouldn't have worked for her.

Why: I realized that that ability didn't fit Morose's personality and that it wouldn't be necessary to accomplish what I need.

Thanks for bearing with me,

Karlie (Rubbykk)

P.S. The prelude to KHRE:BBS is going up today. I can't promise regular updates but they will be better then they were.
