Hello there, my readers. It is I, TigerVolcano5000, with an important announcement to make. I won't waste anyone's time: my "Death Battle" story...is going on hiatus (possibly indefinitely).

Yeah, I know. Those who've stuck with this story since the very beginning will probably be thinking "Man, this jackass CANNOT make up his mind about this damn story can he?", and...that'd be fair. The whole matter at hand is a tad...difficult to describe properly. Part of it is because I don't like how I've "locked" myself into certain ideas. Another part is simple uncertainty about whether or not I want to continue the story itself. Until further notice, I'm stepping back from this story. There will be three possible ways that this will continue from here.

1) I continue the story as is

2) I take some time and reboot the story at a later date (not reusing ANY of the fights that I've already done)

Or 3) I stop writing this story entirely, with no plans for any form of "continuation"

To be blunt, me continuing this story in its current form is (at the moment) the least likely option to happen. As I write this, it's between rebooting and outright cancelation. I also want to make clear that I am NOT asking for anyone to "vote" on what they think I should do. I'm simply informing you guys about what I'm thinking and my current ideas for this story. Please don't flood the review section or my PM inbox about what you think I should do. To be completely honest, I'm not saying this to gather anyone's opinion. It's going to come down to how I feel and what I want to do with this moving forward.

But...yeah. That is what is happening right now. I'm making plans on how to handle/manage my current (and future) stories moving forward and it's caused me to think and reconsider a LOT of things.

If I do decide to reboot or cancel this story, I will be leaving the current incarnation up (nostalgia and whatnot). I ask that you don't take this off of your "Following Stories" list, as I will be posting my ultimate decision on this story (likely replacing this specific "chapter"). I'll probably be keeping this story labeled as "In-Progress" since I don't know how I'll do this moving forward.

For those upset, all I can say is that I'm sorry. I'll admit that this isn't one of the "proper/plotted stories" that I've canceled in the past (only being various Death Battles for fun) so I guess that I don't feel as "upset" as I would be if I were stopping entire plotlines. As I said, this is simply a notice so that you guys understand what's going on with this story (plus, I figured that it would be a timesaver to give this message now so it doesn't need to be later if I decide to reboot or cancel).

And...that's about it. I think that I've said everything that needed to be said. I'm sure that my back and forth on this is certainly frustrating (especially since I'm not the most consistent updater) but...this is just how I'm feeling right now. I'll let you guys know what I'm gonna do with this idea when I decide but, for now...review, favorite, follow, and I'll see you guys next time:)
