AN: Okay, this feels kind of stupid after my last posted chapter was an Author's Note and that was literally years ago. Ugh. But unfortunately this is where I've come to for this story.
I'm still a big Star Wars fan, and Clone Wars fan. I still love it all and I still like and am proud of this story. Life just decided to smack me in the face for... a few years straight. I know it's no excuse, so I don't make any. I haven't written or tried real hard to write anything in far too long, and I kind of abandoned a lot of readers, and for that I apologize.
So now that I have found this again I need to see where it all stands. I've found all my old chapters and notes. I've got no more written that I did - holy crap it's been four years - four years ago. I don't entirely remember where I was going, sad as that is to admit, although with my notes all scraped together I'm pulling back together the general idea. And I want to write again.
What I need to know is will I have readers. Does anyone still care about this story, or should I just leave it and start an entirely new project. I'm behind on Clone Wars - two seasons behind, and I hear I've missed some important developments. This has become even more AU than it was when I started and while that happens with fanfics, is the interest still going to be there if I pick it back up.
The way I see it I've got three options. I could pick the story back up from where I left off, and run with it from there, with my old notes and ideas and all. Or, I could start it all over, once I've seen more of the series or just in general from an arbitrary point, and see what changes. Arbitrary point probably little would except writing style, but from what I've heard, if I picked it up from, say, the end of this current season, it would change a lot. The third option would be to scrap the whole thing and just try and start up a new story entirely. I'm not sure that's what I want to do, but it's an option.
I'm not fishing for reviews. I've got a bunch of those, which is the reason I'm even considering re-working this and writing it again in the first place. I'm just looking for responses, opinions. PM me, e-mail me if you want (NightRaven713 ). Or don't; in the end I'll decide one way or another as I go through these notes and see how much I can salvage up. I just want to give anyone who would be interested in pitching in on my decision a chance to do so. Because I still get favourites pinging my email for this story, here and there, and it's that interest even so long after I vanished that makes me want to come back to it to begin with.
However it turns out, thanks to everyone who reads or read this story, everyone who put it on a favourite or author alert, and everyone who left a review. Anything I write is pointless if people out there don't read and enjoy it. Whether with Aurora or not, I hope to be back writing soon, and I hope I'll still get readers and enthusiastic and encouraging and helpful as I did with this story way back when it started.
