Hey everyone! I wasn't even sure if I would post this here, but I always had a good following on ffn. I know it's been a long time since I've touched this fic (and several others). There's a good reason for that. I started this fic in 2016 and a lot has happened since then. I graduated university, got more involved in the Phandom, changed my career plans. I'm now a mod in the Phandom gen server and I run Invisobang. I've kicked Lexx's ass at Phic Phight three years running.

But most important: my writing has improved a lot since then. You can check out my more recent fics to see for yourself. Taking that into consideration, I can't continue this fic as it is and still be satisfied with the result.

So, I'm working on a rewrite! The original fic will stay posted, because I think it'd be a shame to take it down. But I will be rewriting it and making it better than it ever was. I'm not sure when I'll start posting the rewrite. I want to build up a stock of chapters and have a decent amount pre-written to make sure the plot flows, first. But I made a promise once that I would never abandon a fic, and that's still true today! Never abandoned, just a veeeeeeery long hiatus.

If you have any questions or just want to talk, you can find me on Tumblr as kinglazrus. I'll also be posting progress updates there as I work on the rewrite.

I'm not sure if I'll post the rewrite to FFN whenever the time comes, so find the fic on Ao3 instead and follow the series "The Survivalists (original and rewrite)" to make sure you get notified when the remake goes up!
