Chapter 1: story/life update
Chapter Text
First of all, I apologise for the fact this is NOT a chapter update, and it's been a while, it really has. What, a bit over a month? Uni got hectic, my brain decided to melt, She-Ra and Merlin took over my life, and my writing is ... suffering. Not really, but you know how it goes. I absolutely want to finish this story, but I'm debating a few changes. And I want it to be the best version that I can plop onto this site. I got a bit over excited initially, first drafting, hitting 'add chapter' with all the zeal I can muster, but that's probably more of a disservice to my story and to you all especially with half-assed chapters every once in a while due to 'ooh I MUST get something out!'.
I like the idea of not being limited by a chapter amount, and to allow the story to go where it flows, but I also...don't? 'cause that will lead me to not knowing when the 'end' will be, and it may result in over-writing and lots of filler when there doesn't need to be, and I don't want to just slap random things in to see how many chapters I can do.
So, I am proposing a new plan! I might re-write what I currently have (sorry to those who have already read what I had written), mushing the story into 20/22-ish chapters (and they will be long, oh boy will they be long) to better suit the 'episodic' nature of Supergirl. I initially moved against this idea because of chapter length, but I honestly feel it will help me, personally, with having a strict guideline of where my story needs to go and where at what point. Because of this, the newer version will have the past 7 chapters incorporated, so it'll be repetitive in those instances, although slightly re-written so I do apologise for that! I may also add keywords as little 'checkpoints' within the chapter, so if you don't want to read the chapter all in one go, you can just find it (with the find word tool thing in the browser) at a later time if you close the tab.
But for those who haven't read those chappies (since by now they will have disappeared), hello and do not worry! Writing will be back sooner rather than later, I hope. From now on, I will only update with proper chapters, and my update schedule might be once a month, due to the length of chapters and busyness in general - but if I get my groove back, then I'll update whenever like an unpredictable bean >:)
I apologise for the mess and inconvenience caused! Thanks for reading <3 ily
