Heads Up...

This is not technically fanfiction, but it pertains to it very much and I don't know what other category to put it under...

Okay, so...I've been working on the next story. Unfortunately I'm only three chapters in, because first I was stumped trying to figure out an actual plot, then I was stumped trying to decide who could be "the sacrifice" and THEN once I figured all that out, I caught a cold and was too tired to work on writing from 12:00-2:00 a.m.

All things aside...I don't know if you actually want this story. Because...the sacrifice I have in mind is not something you'll like. It doesn't end in anyone's death, but... **sigh* it's so tragic. I asked my friend about it and she said "absolutely DO NOT do that!" At the same time, though, I have spent hours racking my brain for a decent sacrifice, and I keep coming back to that thing that's more sad and heartbreaking than anything else. I would say it's worse than Kal's arm in SSitS.

I don't know if I have the heart to write what I have in mind, and for that matter I don't even know if it shows character growth! I don't like to write things that break these lovely characters (and my lovely readers^^) without a purpose, otherwise I really just can't write them.

I almost...I almost feel like this series has come to a close in terms of multi-chapter stories?? It...it ended on a high note, and I'd really rather not break anyone's hearts anymore than I already have in this series. I'd like to do a few one-shots focused on this series in the future with the kids and such because I do like the path this has led the Wingfeather family into in my headcanon AtE, but I don't know if I can write this multi-chapter story.

Now, @Andreajoy4jesus , if you are desperate for this last story in the series...I'll write it for you. I'm willing to do that. But I don't think anyone will be happy with how it ends up, and I don't even know if I'll be happy with where it ends up. You can ask what the sacrifice will be if you'd like (and I'll tell you)...but it's unlikely to change simply because I cannot come up with something else.

Just **sigh* please help me (both for your sake and mine), because I don't want to spend time writing and posting a story that ends up half-finished because I can't write it... 😭

*ducks* The last time somebody said that to me he threw a football at my head! Maybe you could include that in your story!

I think that he may have....that was about 13 years ago.

😂 that's hilarious. You haven't been told, "heads up!" since then??

Also why do you remember that? 🤔😂

I can't say for sure if I have or not, but that's the only memorable time. I tend to remember things that happened a while ago pretty well.

😬 I'm scared.

At first I thought, "Well of course I want everything you write!!!" But now... I'm just scared! Do you have to have a sacrifice? (You probably do, because you've researched these books like crazy and wrote some of the most amazing fanfiction I've ever read, so you know what you're taking about...)

And Rather Than Resenting really did end well. So you definitely could end it there. (I do want to get to know Lorren, though!)

SEE!?!? When you don't sleep, your body is more susceptible to catching colds! You need to sleep!!!

So... If the story is all wrong, I'm okay with not having it. 😥 But yeah, I do kinda want to know what you were going to do... and you'll still write other things, right? Please? 🥺

🤣 oh, goodness! You know you've read it a lot when you can't keep track of the number of times you've read it, which is actually one of the most amazing feelings ever! That's how it is for me with The Giver. I love that book and I've read it so many times that I have no idea how many it's been, plus being able to open it up and know exactly the context of where you're reading - it's quite fun! 😂

Honestly it probably will still happen because it's a separate country and the "goings on" of the world still happen even if a few things change in Anniera.

And I won't hurt Elquinn in it, dw^^ I'll find a different sacrifice. And, yes, everyone else would, for the most part, stick around in Anniera to keep things running.

Mmmm yeah...I need him to be oldest. Well, maybe not. I don't know, I'm still thinking 😅

That reason....is a secret.... (but the simplest one is that he deserves better than a let-me-stare-at-my-keyboard-to-mash-some-letters-together-for-a-name)

All VERY good points. I completely agree with all of those things, and it has been quite a while since I've read it. I think what I liked most about it was he did something different than your normal AtE fanfic and it intrigued me. There were some things about it that I didn't like, things that you mentioned. Janner seemed too-perfect and sage-like afterward. I can't stand that style of writing. He WOULDN'T be perfect afterward! He's still human! And he did lose his personality and feel really out of character on the walk back 😭

"Nor even shall he be mine. His every labor shall be on behalf of the bereaved." Honestly I forgot about this line, and I absolutely agree with you that this is not Biblically sound!

And regarding Sara, I did leave a comment making sure Janara would actually happen later in this scenario, and he said it would, just he didn't want to focus on that in his story.

(granted, Janara will not be the focus in this next revival fic. I focused on Sara a lot in the previous one, and now I want to zero in on Kal)

Did I love the doctrine expressed in the fic? No, not really. And a good deal of it was flat-out wrong. I didn't like a number of things about it, all the things that you mentioned, in fact (except I do like how he kind of deteriorated physically).

What exactly do you mean by, "I hope I didn't make you too sad!"? (you mentioned it twice, which is confusing me 😅) I completely agree with you in terms of doctrine and everything related to character-development. And don't worry, I am NOT planning on doing those things!

Yay! Because I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens when Janner's family gets caught up in that war! 😁 (This means you have to write all your stories quickly)

You just sounded like you really, really loved that fanfic, and I didn't want to make you sad when I complained about it for 3 paragraphs straight! You said at one point that you had been obsessed with it for weeks or something!

Sooo... how's the writing on the new story coming? 😃

Honestly, I am too! My sister has this create-your-own-government-and-country project, so I'm using that to develop Erlow's political and economic system 🤣

I think....I think I know who the sacrifice will be...well, it'll be one of two people! But I think I know^^

Well, I obsessed with the idea of Janner being physically weakened afterward for weeks! It was the original inspiration for RtR, at least, before I changed the ending 😅 And it was (in theory) the inspiration for this series, though new aspects of the series are based on some things my sister wants me to test out^^

So. There was the few days before I made this post in which I was struggling (and failing to write) the story after RtR that will now see the light of day through a different lens. And then there was the few days after in which I've been dealing with the cold and not stayed up until 2:00 a.m. And then last night I was speed-running some AP Gov't hw that is due today. But I have about a chapter written and (if I can actually manage to spark the motivation, which, since I've planned this story out a good deal, should work well) I can start posting it soon!
