I know it’s not an update for any of my works here but if you’d like to read my (one) current fan fic on AO3 feel free to visit me over at @honeyanemone where I apparently need to wax poetic about Jake Sulky and Miles Quaritch

Y’all I’ve gone through (not even joking) 10+ variations of the rewrite for Let Me Lie, I have like 40k words of plot and attempted chapters of crap that don’t make sense and don’t work, I’m literally trying so hard to write this for you all and am apparently incapable. What I have come to the conclusion of is that I don’t know what I’m doing, I have probably 3 separate stories that have come out of this and I don’t know where to go from here… I’m sorry, I’m still working on things but I’m so jumbled in my thoughts and am trying to sort them out so I can give them to you. :( <3 lots of love (and apologies)

@wellthereisthat you are so sweet thank you for your kind words, I may be figuring it all out so fingers crossed and prayers (whatever kind you prefer to pray) that my hunch is right and my plots are unwinding

Hey Crucible,
How are you doing?
I read your story's this week and i loved them. Especially Let me Lie and Sevens. Are you still updating them? I hope so because they are great!
-crucible-
Hey Charlotteashanthi!
I’m glad you enjoyed them :)
So I wrote sevens when I was like 17-18 ish (I unfortunately, am old now) and while I still care greatly for the characters I don’t know how to return to that story at the moment, for now they will stay where they are.
However, Let Me Lie is currently underway for a massive rewrite/overhaul! There was more to the story and characters than I realized when starting it and I had to put a fast stop to the first draft so that i could really make sure I was getting everything right. I’m hoping to finish out the outline in the next couple of months and get chapters started soon after that!
I appreciate you reaching out and sharing your love for all my characters with me and I hope I can bring them back to you soon :)

Omg that’s super sweet, I do have plans to rewrite it soon (somehow writing Let Me Lie expanded the oSaC (lol) universe so I need to rewrite all of it to be up to date with my theories in my head)
But until then honestly if you have any experience bookbinding go ahead and pirate the copy that I have posted and have at it lol, I have to be honest and say i might done that with some of my own favorite fics at one point or another

Hey @fantasy_is_my_escape I really appreciate the sweet message, and the many rereads, I am hoping to continue my stories but at the moment life is kinda throwing a temper tantrum so I also don’t want to promise anything soon. I always have my characters at the back of my brain chilling out waiting for some time to keep working on their stories but it’s definitely slow going… I’m sorry I can’t give you more at the moment

Hey, do you think you would able to continue Alexei story??
-crucible-
Hey @carameldopecom so as much as I want to continue Alexi’s story I think so much time has passed that I don’t know where I would even begin, I would love to one day come back to those characters but right now I’m not in the place where I could return and do the story justice, I’m so sorry that my stupid teenage self left that story on a cliffhanger

Hey so Let Me Lie announcement, I may need to restructure/plot/write what I already have. I kinda wrote myself into a hole and kinda just hate where I was going with it.
Any deploying/structuring/writing I do do will only make the story stronger and more coherent. I think I was playing with too many big ideas and I need to pull some of them back and cut some all together… that being said it might take time for me to write a quick outline and get to work rewriting
I know some of you are attached to what I have already written and I’d hate to take it from you, would you all have a preference on me just adding the revised chapters onto what I have or creating a whole other story for the revised chapters to be published in
I appreciate your kind words and all of the support. The characters are still near to my heart and I won’t let them fade away, they might just need to live a different story.
Thanks,
Crucible

@-crucible- I love the original so i'm sure the new version will be just as good! I'd say publish it as it's own story, at least then new readers wouldn't be confused. I guess you could always keep the old chapters up just as an incomplete story?

@themagicaldeer I would definitely keep the original available to those who wanted to revisit, I wouldn’t add a summary as to what would have happened in the original version because my goal would be to have the new version make sense as a more fleshed out version of the original and thus act as “closure” for the original. I hope that makes sense. I do appreciate everyone’s feedback and want to keep the old stuff up if people really enjoy it (even if it drove me into manic plot hole spirals) but I’m getting closer to finishing the new and improved plot outline and hopefully will have chapters to share with you all soon :)
