Chapter 16 out! Don't worry, reuniting with Group B and meeting Group A is coming very very soon. If all goes to plan, Chariot should end with around 24/25 chapters.

Just want to say, I know I'm not very consistent with my chapter releases. In fact, sometimes I even take year-long breaks.... But I am so thankful to have even just a few readers still dedicated to this story/TMR fandom itself. I started writing Rogue when I was 14 in 2018. My writing was terrible back then. If any of you read the original version... I'm sorry. But I remember there wasn't a lot of Group B material out there, which made it quite hard to keep everything the way I wanted it (canon-adjacent and could-potentially-exist-alongside-the-books). I also had GCSE's going on. And then COVID. So, I stopped.
          
          Last year, I got very bored during the summer between my 2nd and final year at Uni. I had just gone through a pretty bad breakup with my ex-girlfriend, and was cripplingly in love with my best friend (who I was also living with) (who I am now FINALLY dating). Anyway, I was looking for something to distract myself. I remembered that I still had this story published on Wattpad, and I thought it would be funny to re-read it and potentially take it down so that no one could ever find it and trace it back to me. Instead, I realised how many people had actually really liked it. So rather than taking it down, I decided to edit it. Make it better. And when I finally finished doing that, I was hooked. I wanted to know how the story ended. So I continued to write it. And I'm really glad that I did.
          
          Even just scraping 20 reads and 2 comments a chapter means the world to me. I've wanted to be a writer ever since I was little, and receiving even the smallest of feedback makes me feel like I'm one step closer. I'm in a weird period of transition in my life (21, post-grad, unemployed, LDR), and this stabilises me a little bit.

@rogueauthortmr Great post. And I hope you become a writer who gets the appreciation they deserve. I'm surprised you were 14 when you first started writing Rogue. You had better writing than I had when I was that age. And I only vaguely remember the first version of Rogue, but I believe Sara was a comedian type of character in that. I think she was really playful. Anyway, the Rogue series is great, and I'm glad it exists. Thanks for writing it.
