Mosaic (Bucky Barnes X OC / Winter Soldier x OC)

Potential Update

First off, I want to thank everybody who enjoyed this story and let me know through their comments and votes! They make my day! So...

Thank you for taking time out of your day and picking this story to entertain you for a bit.

Each interaction makes me want to get back into Mosaic, and I have been trying for the last couple of years. But when I started this story, I put a lot of my own baggage and trauma into it. I've worked out many things through my writing before, and I figured I heal with the characters along the way.

It worked for years. Most importantly, writing this story kept me distracted from bugging my boyfriend, who ghosted me, which was why I started writing Mosaic in the first place. Something to concentrate on.

It worked until I healed faster than the characters did. I'm at a point in my life where, mentally, I'm doing pretty good, and every time I try to get into Mosaic, I find myself struggling to put myself into the mindset that I healed from.

Now for the POTENTIAL UPDATE part of this thing.

I have a few chapters that I haven't edited to the standard that I'd like. Little things might not match up properly. Voices might not be as consistent or the same. Those are the main issues from the top of my head. And I'm going to leave the decision up to you guys.

So, here's the question: (Leave a comment on the ".**." under whichever you want.)

Would you rather leave this story where it is now? (To the standard I've put on myself)

.**.

Or have those chapters as they are? (With their mistakes and inconsistencies. They're not completely unedited. A pair of betas and I have spent many hours on them already.)

.**.

The chapters are going to be split into parts again. About 1-2K per part. I don't trust Wattpad to not start deleting paragraphs on me if I go over that. Doesn't help my chapters average 6K.

Maybe one day, something will happen to me, and I can get back into the mindset of Mosaic. I have it planned well enough that I don't believe I'll get lost returning to this story.

I know there are a lot of unanswered questions in this story if I don't continue writing it. I think I'm willing to part with those secrets to those who want answers to them. I don't know how I'll go about it. Maybe I'll start using discord or add a part at the end of this story for people to ask questions or something. Let me know if you have any ideas.

(Or if you're interested in helping me with a discord server or something.)

P.S. – Now that I'm not trying to force myself back into Mosaic constantly, I do have an idea for another Bucky Barnes x oc fic. (Though with how slow burn I write, am I even allowed to call it that?) It's going to be a more relaxed one in terms of how I go at it. 40 hours of editing per chapter took a lot out of me. Hopefully, something works out for it, and I will start posting once more.

Again, thank you for your time!
