So this week's big reveal, Meliodas did bring her from Danafor, at least part of my theory was right. And I am simultaneously thrilled and depressed. On the one hand, I was right, which is awesome and it's a super cool revelation for the canon universe. But on the other hand, it's no doubt going to effect this story.
While yes I know this is fanfiction, and yes, that means this is already a hefty load of fan theory and fiction I have tried to make it so it didn't contradict any of our limited canon knowledge of that time period. In chapter 2 and future planned chapters, it was even going to work with it.
Well, canon is about to get a major information infusion over the next few weeks. I had a feeling this was coming and I was trying soo hard to get this story done before then. Had chapter 181 been released this time in July I could have pulled it off. But it wasn't...
So now I have a few options for this fic. To begin with, I don't see any other option but to put it on very temporary hiatus, just until the new canon information is revealed. (Sorry, I know you were probably hoping this was Part 2 of chapter 4. WAIT! Don't leave, I have to ask you something.)
Once the new info is out, I can see this going three ways...
First possibility, the new information might be such that I can maybe just tweak previous chapters so that this story still works with canon, if I can do that, then that is absolutely what I will do. As it stands right now, I just need to adjust the little blurb about the Queen and the King's level of knowledge from Chapter 3 and it's still good to go.
Second possibility, the new info will totally sink this story by covering/contradicting stuff that I have already written and future planned chapters. The final chapter of this story was planned to be the events of the day the Sin's are framed and exiled and that could very well be covered in the manga over the next few weeks. If this is the case, I will post what I have already written(Part 2 of chapter 4 and the final chapter), but I probably won't write anything new.
Third possibility, the new info sinks my story, but I turn this into a slight AU and carry on as if nothing has happened. I write what I had planned on writing regardless of what is canon, basically drawing a semi-AU line and saying this story is part theory but is in line with the limited canon knowledge up until chapter 181….I have good stuff planned, notes on 9+ more chapters, BUT, would you still be interested in it if I did that? I like this story but I like it as an outlet for my rampant fan theories and the crazy cuteness of Meliodas hanging out with little Elizabeth. But if canon is going to blow the fan theory stuff out of the water next week, I would only be writing it for the cuteness factor.
So, Let me know if you would like to see the third option happen, because if no one is interested I probably won't bother. Review this chapter or PM me and let me know what you think, seriously, I'm super nice you don't have to be shy ;)
Thanks :)
As of August 8/2016 I had planned on removing this and replacing it with Chapter 4(Part 2) when I posted chapter 5 but means that the story doesn't show up as having a new chapter because the chapter numbers are the same. Sorry to all the new readers who are forced to read my little freakout. ;)
