**If you're a new reader I suggest not reading the next chapters (the actual story) because it will have lots of spoilers for the rewritten version of The Red String (TRS)**


Hello everyone!

My name is Nicki for those who don't know and my pronouns are she/her. If you don't know, I'm the author of this book and it's very nice to meet you! I wanted to come here and give you an explanation of what's going on, what's going to happen to TRS (The Red String), and the title change.

Why I left

It's been a while since I updated this story and I'm sorry. When I first started I never wrote a book before. It was super fun at the time but then I became unhappy with the pacing of the story so I decided I wanted to rewrite it. (The pacing was all over the place and it went too quickly and I didn't develop Ryder and Elena's relationship well. I don't know how to write fluff and I didn't think it was needed in a story but it is. It's good to have filler and fluff so readers can have a break and breathe while all the drama is going on. I admit I'm not the greatest at writing fluff and filler but I will always try my best to. I will always try to write my best for this book. That's what you all deserve.) Then I lost all motivation because I was lazy and I didn't want to rewrite it. I suddenly got the motivation to rewrite this story which is why the title has changed to the Prototype. 


What's going to happen to this story?

I want to leave this story up until I publish something for the rewritten version of this story. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the same name. I want to keep it because I've had this name for so long but also I don't think the name fits the story at all. I will edit this chapter whenever the rewritten version of this story comes out with the name and link to it. I will keep this story up until the rewritten version comes out. When it does I won't delete this story either, in case someone has this story in their library and doesn't know there's a rewritten version of this story. Also, I want to leave this story up just in case of anything. Then they can come read this chapter and be redirected to the rewritten version. I will unpublish the other chapters in this story and just leave this one up so people know where to be redirected to.


What are you doing now?/What's going on now? 

I am currently on the planning stage of TRS and I'm going to do a better job at planning this story rather than having a random google doc of scattered ideas and just shoving them into this book. I didn't think you need to plan anything and I would just write stuff as it goes on but it didn't really work well and you need to plan things out. I'm not sure when I will publish the new story because I still am in the planning stage. I don't have a definite answer and I'm sorry that I don't. I want this story to be better for you all and for myself.


Thank you

I'm so sorry it took me this long for me to say something and for me to rewrite this. I'm super excited to see where this takes me and TRS. Thank you for your time and hopefully your understanding. I hope you're excited about the new version of TRS just as much as I am. I will be working hard to create the new TRS. I hope you stick around and follow me on this journey! Thank you, I appreciate you. Please PM/DM (private message/direct message) me with any questions or anything or comment. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or anything else! I'm super excited and thank you again!

Stay gold,

Nicki<33
