Hiraeth | The Outsiders

Hello

Hi there, it's your writer Worst Case Scenario here with a...scenario...? I suck at introductions, if you couldn't tell. Anyway.

I noticed the sudden surge in readers, and since I've written this in 2017, I have found major and minor changes I feel should be made, and I'll go as far to say my writing has become improved and changed. Shocking, I know. In which case, I will be updating as I go along. I found I dislike where my story was going. I feel like the ending wouldn't be sufficient enough, and I feel better scenarios could have gone down. I am tempted to do a temporary do-over, and possibly temporarily take down chapters until I feel comfortable with them. I also don't like my commentary, and will probably change it up to be realistically speaking...As far as "realistic" goes.

I'll admit, I never actually came up with an ending. Not a good one, anyway. DEFINITELY not a good one, lemme tell y'all. *sips tea* It was stretching too far, making things much bigger, and practically overshadowing the real story and all the events that should have the limelight. Not to mention, it was going to be one of those stories with an ending that was left to the reader's imagination as an "experiment." I decided to change it up and make it more what I want and my style without having to force myself to experiment. In college literature, you have plenty of that to go around, and I found I slack off if I don't enjoy it and can't write more without forcing myself.

So, while I try the figure out a better route without changing too much (the last few chapters and the story of Opal is going to be changed to maintain a stable story line), I wanted to hear what YOU readers have in mind, your opinions on the story and what can be changed. I'm all ears, and while I won't be able to incorporate all of them, I most certainly want to be sure to make the story not only as I want it to play out, but to be a satisfactory journey for you guys. I want you all to be heard, as much as you do...WITHOUT the spoilers getting involved for what I have planned when it comes down to answering what will and will not work in this fanfic, which will be the tricky part.

So that comes along to what I will be doing below, which is throwing down names, events, etc. Just highlight the word/name to comment about the subject, and what you'd like to see happen, changed, and whatever else you think should happen. That will keep things WAY more organized for me.

Thank you for sticking with me, and thank you for the comments, votes, support, and CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. If you have any questions, comments and concerns, that will be below as well. Again, thank you all so much, and I love you.

EDIT: As a time frame, I will probably start revisions in a week or two, so until then, have at it. I will still be looking through comments, but not as much during the revision period. Thanks! :)
