helllloo hi there so i have a confession and it’s probably not a huge deal tbh but the reason why i haven’t updated elapsed yet is because the urge to rewrite it has finally hit me. i’ve been meaning to do it since the start of last year but just… didnt 🙃 and then i reread it all at the start of december and now i feel uncomfortable not rewriting it before going forward lol.
tbh it has been 10 years since i wrote those early chapters and not only is there a huge contrast in the writing quality but when i started back in 2016 i was just pantsing random scenes with a vague end in mind and i hadn’t even come up with the ~adventure~ aspect of the fic yet… plus it was the first time i had wrote ff since i was 12 and i can TELL. so now i want to improve it and bring it in line with the newest chapters. theres also some subplots i want to change.
so yeah… i’m going to be changing the whole rei x mariah debacle. i just need to get rid of it. like why did i think that was a good idea? (i love them but for this story?? it’s really not working) so yeah. totally new storyline for rei that will bring him into the mix way more (hehehe i am excited about this).
also i really wanna slow down tyhil. they just got together off screen??????? r u kidding me? i was so focused on kai crashing out that i just…. dropped the ball there???? this isn’t even a ‘i wrote this 10 years ago’ thing like, this was literally stuff i wrote last year. i have no excuse lool
anyway i’m gonna keep working on ~johnnys castle arc~ whilst also doing the rewrite so that when that’s all done i can drop it all together??? and hopefully then it won’t feel like a big let down when i say ‘hi everyone! i rewrote elapsed! i know, i know, it’s still not finished!!’ *in spencer’s monotone voice*
i’ll put a little summary of what’s changed in the notes in the next chapter just incase anyone doesn’t want to reread it all because i think if someone rewrote a fic i was reading half way though id not want to reread it either loool.. like that’s fair!
perhaps this is what happens when you have no beta we die like wyatt
so yeah, that’s why i havent updated 🫠 thanks to everyone who has read my little story over the past decade, i apologise for being such so slow writer haha! thanks for sticking around, i appreciate you all so much! hopefully these edits will be worth it ^.^
sending many good vibes to all of you 💖
