hey, happy new years!!
          	i was away from home during most of december so i was unable to do much, but i'll try to keep the groove going and post something later this month

xanthaes

everything said, before i go to sleep:
          chapters I and II of The Newcomers have been 100% revamped and rewritten and are up for reads now! i'll hopefully tackle chapters III and IV tomorrow.
          
          chapters XIII and XIV of The Fated are also out, so feel free to give them a read <33

xanthaes

posting this here as well; i left an author note at the end of chapter xiv of The Fated, but I also wanna let others who havent gotten there yet know;
          the label of (Y/N) will no longer be, and it instead will be replaced with the name of my own persona.
          
          Most of you knew me by the name yoshiya, which i still go by, but two or so years ago i began going by the name of Orion, which is what will be in the story from now on.
          
          however, dont worry! if you still want to pretend its your own name in there, go right ahead! this is mostly just to keep myself going and not giving up once again.
          im really sorry if it upsets some, but i still hope u all can continue to support me and enjoy my story <3

ah...
          hello, everyone.
          it's me... y'all do remember me, right? 
          i'm really, really sorry for disappearing for over a year, almost two.
          i said i was going to move to ao3, but when i tried... i just couldn't get my spark going on anymore.
          i dropped writing completely. not to mention that school and depression weighed me down.
          i'm doing much, much better now; i graduated from high school a couple of months ago! i've been trying to apply to an university now but im kind of scared;;
          i've also grown a lot as a person. when i was around here i was like... this little gremlin that thought she could do anything. but she couldn't. i've met my own limits and im working even harder to become a better me. i'd be lying if i didnt say i missed writing on The Newcomers and The Fated a lot!! i still have so, so many plot ideas written down and ive been waiting for so long to be able to give them life
          i've been thinking... maybe i can finally make that dream come true. i always hated realizing a fix hadnt been updated in years. i feared becoming that person and letting my followers down. but i did
          
          i did, and i really wish to redeem myself.
          i'll get back on my task of revamping the ENTIRETY of The Newcomers and what I have of The Fated posted so far so it can match my current abilities.
          im not exactly sure when it'll be done, but i will do it. i promise you all.
          
          again.. im really sorry for disappearing. but hopefully i'll stick around a while longer now

Hey!!! I’m happy to hear you are alive. Sorry things have been rough, but I am happy to hear you will possibly be making a return to finish what you wanted to do with your Smash Bros stories. I can’t wait to see what work you do, so definitely keep us posted. Also good luck applying to colleges. I’m currently in year two of college but I understand the stress that comes with applying and everything else. You got this!!!

//REPOST//
          
          Hello, everyone.
          I know that, almost a year ago, I promised I would revamp The Newcomers, and continue writing The Fated, and I didn't. And I also know that showing my face around here after abandoning my most beloved project and abandoning all of you, my dear readers, is near impossible.
          
          But still, I want to challenge my shame and embarrassment after having done this. I've grown a bit as a person, and even though I haven't writen at all in a while, I've somehow become a bit better at it.
          
          So, I would like to ask all of you, my readers and followers, to follow me in my new account at archiveofourown.org, where I will be re-posting both of my stories there, with a few revamps and minor changes to the story.
          
          I don't know if I will continue updating my other books from here, i.e "The Newcomers - Fun Facts!". Perhaps I will, perhaps I won't.
          
          Either way, I really hope that even after all of this time, you all can forgive  me and join me once more as I revive the very first fanfic I wrote that got attention and love from so many people.
          
          If you do, then I can't think of anything else to say than "Thank you". If you don't, that's okay; I'm still very grateful that you stuck with me for a while. I understand if you got tired of wating and empty promises of this fic being continued and then abandoned. I would be frustrated too.
          
          In any case, I'm working on activating my AO3 account as I write this. Once it's up, I shall post a link here.
          
          Thank you for taking your time to read this<3
          
          Note: the reason that I reposted this is that I realized fanfiction.net was quite more difficult to work with, so I decided to switch to AO3. I hope you understand. (Also, a reply would be nice... I want to know if there's anyone out there who actually read this..)

@xanthaes I am really looking forward it! I can't wait to see the story brought back to life!

@xanthaes Hey! I saw the first post and went to fanfiction.net to see the revamped story and it was not there, so I thought you would post it later. I totally understand though that you have decided not to use fanfiction.net. It is very weird and complicated sometimes. I will totally keep up with the new story on archive of our own. I am looking forward to future work! Thank you for updating us here on your whereabouts and it is okay you have not posted in a while. I completely get that. :) Keep writing great things!!!

@xanthaes I'll work on The Fated now. When I post the new chapter, I'll revamp the second one of The Newcomers. Stay tuned!
