It is with a heavy heart that I officially announce this story cancelled.
I could end it there, but those reading definitely deserve an explanation. To be honest, I just can't stop escaping old habits. I first began this story as script base crossover where anything could happen, despite how illogical it could be. The characters were pretty overpowered at the start and there were barely any emotions because I didn't know how to convey back then. I got bad reviews and I deserved them (though I wish some of them actually gave me advice instead of just insulting me; I am truly grateful to the ones that did and the ones that actually enjoyed the story despite its many flaws).
The story was originally just some good crossover fun, but overtime I became a bit self-conscious over the reviews, leading me to wonder if I can even write. I even contemplated over deleting this story once. Instead, I decided to branch off into other stories and improve my writing while still working on this one. I don't know how to explain it, but I seem to always fall into my old bad habits whenever I come back to it. I've revised this story who knows how many times and it's always the same. It feels different writing this than the rest, like I can't put in my best when I do. I thought it was just because it requires a different mindset, but when I consider the prequel I've been writing for a month now… I can put my current best into that, but not this.
Maybe it's some old ghosts, but I think in the end it come down to one thing: a lack of direction. I've never had a direction for this story, just random events that happen just to happen. Even coming back for a final time, I still lacked direction and perhaps that's why the prequel story feels different to write as I actually have a vision for that one (unlike the last time I tried a prequel story). In the end, I think I need a fresh start; to craft a story that actually has direction and meaning. Will it be the best? Most likely not. But at the least, I can say that I put my current best into it.
So, this is it this time. No more revisions, no more changes. It will soon be gone for good. Thank you to all for dealing with this indecisive mess this whole time. I wish I could have provided you with something better, because you all deserved more. Farewell and take care.
