Or will they live with regrets?

6. Chapter 6: Re-Write Announcement

Hello friends! I do hope everyone is doing well.

It's me, ZillanReese, your favorite 'only writes every 11 months' FanFiction author here to drop some news on everyone.

I have rewritten the entirety of The Last Chance into a bright and colorful new concept and writing style.

It's called: The Last Chance - An Ed, Edd n Eddy Story (The Re-Write) - Going to my profile will take you to it.

While I do hope everyone enjoys the newly updated content I want to address a few things I'm sure will be said by anyone who has read the previous story and get some things out of the way.

I have been fighting with myself on how exactly to proceed with this situation.

On one hand; I want to give everyone who has been keeping up with this story to get new and updated content (the best of what I can produce).

On the other hand; I have been ridiculously nervous about posting what some people may consider a re-paint of the same content I have written before.

I just want everyone to know that I don't do this rewrite out of malice or some strange affinity for writing the same few scenes again and again. I do this because I have evolved as a person. Drastically. That old writing just does not hold up to the standards I have for myself now. It's been four years since I wrote the first chapter of The Last Chance and since then I have changed so much about myself. I am a different person both in real life and in my work.

There are scenes that I can actually write now! Scenes that were impossible for me to conceptualize properly before. Humor I missed that could have easily been added in.

I have stayed up night after night working, re-working, and working some more to recreate these scenes in a way that are simply more concise. My issue with my original writing was that I could not seem to find a flow that worked with what I had already written. It was like pulling teeth to write new content that wouldn't be jarring to someone who had read the content before it. It was strangling me.

But here, I can do what I wanted to do from the very beginning and articulate myself the way I wanted to back then.

So here's some questions I thought people might have and my answers.

1. Will you ever finish this story?

Answer: Yes. All currently out chapters are being finished up, and new content is already being written. (Realize I have had all the ideas and themes created and ready to be translated into a novelized form for like 4 years now.) It all exists it simply needs to be finished (revised), polished, and given to you lovely people.

2. Why even bother rewriting everything? It was fine the way it was.

Answer: I kinda answered before but: I need a fresh start. The tragic truth of the entire situation is that: plain and simple, I don't agree with the work I have already written. I'm finding that there are things in the writing that were simply not my vision for the story or the characters. Furthermore, there were things I wanted to add that I simply did not have the skill to do properly before this point. Also let's all admit it: the chapters were too short. Every single chapter in this rewriting is the same size as two or sometimes three individual chapters from the previous writing. It's more content in a more concise style, with more shenanigans to better line up with my original image.

3. When's the next one coming out? Like really coming out.

Answer: August 2nd, 2024. I promise. Furthermore, I am going to work on a bi-weekly update on Fridays from that point. Please be patient with me on that, it might not be exact but I will do my level-best.

Conclusion: Please let me know if there is anything you want to talk about within this whole situation. And if you are finding that you are no longer interested in this long, sordid project of mine please don't feel bad or obligated to stick around. I know that I haven't been able to deliver everything I said I would and if that turns you off about the whole thing I totally understand. I want to do better, I want to write stories, and I want to be a faithful content creator - I can only ask that everyone bears with me until I can prove myself worthy of being your favored author.

Peace. ZillanReese.
