Heya everyone.
After several weeks of work and communication with a properly learned literary pro, I've worked over or at least touched everything in every story lore bible I have, and finally its all in a state I think is acceptable. I've had more "Duh, why didn't I do that?" moments this week than the rest of my life put together it feels like. Being real, I'm left in the uncomfortable position of seeing a lot of mistakes in older parts of stories that I could change, but it would fundamentally alter the stories everyone knows and (I hope) loves.
I've seen how re-writes go in situations like this, and rarely does it end with a complete story. That in mind, I've decided against doing a major re-write of Borne of Caution or anything else, despite my own distaste for some parts. I said awhile ago that I expected BoC to be my weakest offering to the fic scene due to my lower skill when I began it, but I didn't expect it to be as profoundly true as it is now.
I'm not planning on dropping Borne of Caution, so let me put that fear to rest. I will get it finished, and perhaps a sequel or spin-off will get to enjoy being done a bit better from the get-go.
Again, I can't thank you all enough for being so patient. My last chapter drafts have been torn up for not being up to par, but the 1k words I got down today came so damn easy.
Back soon with something for you,Fuggmann.
