Hello again!
          	
          	It's been a while, but I hope you are all well! First, for everyone who's worried: no, I won't be discontinuing the story. Unfortunately though, I do have to make some adjustments to certain chapters because of wattpads upcoming changes.
          	
          	1: I'm going to remove chapters 10 and 11 and replace them with a quick summary or bullet points for the readers who either find the story here or don't want to read anywhere else. It's not a great solution, but given the broadness of their guidelines I've decided that it is safer to just replace them entirely before the story gets taken down in case I missed a scene they didn't like.
          	
          	2: I'm going to remove a scene in chapter 26 and replace it with an introductory sequence. This one shouldn't impede the reading experience too much.
          	
          	3: Chapters 10, 11, 26 and any upcoming ones will be marked with a [Censored] to let readers know that they were changed and don't reflect their original intent.
          	
          	The remaining chapters should be fine, so I'll be leaving them as they are. If the story gets taken down regardless, then there's nothing I can do.
          	
          	Given these circumstances, I've decided to upload the story in their uncensored form on ff.net and ao3. It's available on the former (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/15510967/) and I will upload it on the latter as soon as I can register.
          	
          	Future chapters will be published simultaneously on all three platforms with the wattpad upload possibly censored, depending on the contents.
          	
          	Let's hope that the next notification from me will be a new chapter! 
          	
          	Take care and stay safe <3

@Kiku_6037 Looking forward to what you're cookin chef.. although the thought of choosing that skank Chie over Sae-sensei is a little lamentable. (I haven't discounted the idea that he is framing Chie rather than Sae though...)

Culling of Checkmate is my personal 9/11. See you on AO3 from now on I suppose?

@Grimpeace It's definitely not great

@Kiku_6037 I earnestly pray for your triumph. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have years of work and effort squandered like that, without warning or reason.

@Grimpeace AO3 or ff whatever you prefer. Best-case scenario, I somehow get it back on wattpad as well. Still working with (or rather against) the support at the moment.

@Resident_Playboy Thanks! Unfortunately the support is slow as fuck and barely helpful. As expected of wattpad, I suppose.

@Resident_Playboy I honestly doubt that, because usually the Japanese don't care much about anything outside of Japan. It might be Seven Seas since we are following US law, but even that seems crazy to me.

Kiku, I know you were already prepared for this event brother, but it was still a big loss.
          If you decide to continue checkmate in Ao3 and fanfiction we will support you, and if not, it was good while it lasted.

@XIGojoIX I'll try to get it back here, but if not I'll definitely continue on Ao3 / ff. That's why I uploaded the story there after all.

Wattpad fucked you over man :(

@ MichaelUrge7  Even though Wattpad ruined Checkmate here, it should still be available on Ao3, but this is really discouraging.
            Hopefully and Kiku will leave us some crumbs on Ao3

Just why this fanfic was deleted

Kiku_6037

@BeanerMan1 Yeah, I saw that self test and solace are also gone. It's really weird. The support is also really unhelpful so far lol

@Kiku_6037 It seems that you weren't the only victim of this "purge". 100 Elites and Self-Test also got removed, doesn't seem like a coincidence, very strange.

@PokerFaceKoji DMCA notice according to wattpad. I'll try to get it back but we'll see how it goes.
