Okay before I get to the main purpose of the A/N I want to address 2 things, that I would have addressed in the next chapter, but will address here for the reasons stated when I get to the main Purpose.
First of all I'd like to quote Tristan from Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged. HOLY **** ON A **** SANDWHICH WITH **** ON TOP AND A SIDE OF ****! I think I've been on this site for nearly a decade now (including my hiatuses) I've made all kinds of fics but none blew up as quickly or as much as this one. I'm serious I uploaded the fic then went to make a sandwhich. I came back to find people were already reading it. This fic blew up in the time it took me to make a sandwhich! Now this is a brand new game (especially at the time a wrote it) and it had quite a bit of mixed reactions and controversy surrounding it, so I did not expect it to be nearly as popular as it ended up being. This didn't surpass my expectations. It left my expectations on earth while it went to the Andromeda Galaxy to fight space pirates! This means a whole lot to me, and because it's so popular it means I'm gonna have to work extra hard to make sure the rest is good. No pressure lol.
Now for the second point I wanted to address, Angry Lil Elf. Holy crap you read one of my fics. I've read a few of your works and am quite the fan of what I've read so far. So you reading one of my fics means a lot to me. Now you brought up some points I'd like to address.
The reason I went the time skip route was I could not think of a way to do that without it seeming boring.
Luckily I did have a backup plan, I was already planning to go the Lost/Once Upon a Time Route, and tell the story of the gap through flashbacks. I took a similar approach in my Skyrim x RWBY crossover Third Branwen and it did well (at least until a certain external hard drive malfunctioned with one of my biggest chapters still in it *cries*)
Also, it's slightly hard for me with spell check and grammar issues. I usually rely on spell check for that as I have a very short attention span, and am not always the most patient. But based on what I've seen in reviews (not just this fic) Spell check is apparently flawed.
As for not showing much of the Big MT experiment, I'll admit I did not think that one through, that was my bad.
Also congrats on correctly guessing the mystery man was Gaunter O'Dimm, I don't remember if I've already addressed this, but I don't know if I'm actually gonna follow up on him as he was meant to more act as an easter egg.
You mentioned the idea of helping me down the road, and I might take you up on that offer. Especially with fight scenes, people who know me know I have a love/hate relationship with writing fight scenes lol.
And now to the main purpose of this A/N, my conundrum. You see I'm having trouble figuring out how to approach writing the heist Prep. You see originally each section of the prep was going to be it's own separate chapter. However, as I go over it in my head it would feel like a bunch of short mini chapters. Especially with the amount of originality I'd be able to add. So, I decided to ask the readers for advice. The way I see it I can go about this 3 ways.
I can just stick with my original plan and have the heist prep sections be separate chapters, but risk them being shorter.
I combine them
I just make a montage of all the original scenes.
Let me know what you think I should do either via review or PM.
