Dear incredible people,
Five years ago, I completed the first fanfiction I'd ever set out writing: a complete rewrite of the manga Fairy Tail, through a reformed Acnologia and the life he fights for. Today, on the 5th anniversary of its completion, I'm happy to announce my next project: a complete rewrite of The Dragon Father.
I have grown significantly as an author, and have found that five years later, that story still holds a very special place in my heart. So, I found it fitting to begin anew. Completely rewritten, from the ground up, using the original as its skeleton and inspiration. This will be a slow process, for as I've grown into a writer, I've also grown into an adult and cannot give fanfiction writing as much attention as I was once able to. BUT, I have reached a manageable schedule which I hope will allow me to adult and continue my current projects, such as As Things Should Be.
The Dragon Father will be updated on the 28th of every month, buying me enough time to write ahead and publish even if I'm in a lull for a while. I have twenty chapters pre-written so there should be a continuous flow of content for a long while, AND, once I've completed the fanfiction, it will be published once a week, or perhaps in mass (that's a decision for later).
I will NOT be deleting the original version, though I will put a note on it telling new readers of its renewal. That fanfiction may not be perfection, but I had so many wonderful interactions in its comments and it tells an older story of my youth, so it will stay. I do hope you all enjoy this new version, as it will be a fresh retelling with new lore, deeper characterization, and an overall improvement in writing and plot. Many things will change, but many things will not. I won't say anything more about the plot or development, that's for you lovely people to find out.
I want to thank you all for making this possible. I couldn't have done it without your support. Happy reading <3
