Okay, so... hi.

Man, has it been a while - I can't believe it's been a year since I've worked on this series, and several months that I've published anything on this site. I really am a lazy bastard huh? :(

Anyhow, I figured it's about time that I inform you all on the future of this series.

First order of business: Epilogue 3. Why in the world have I not updated it in a year? That is because I grew increasingly unhappy with the plot before writing came to an absolute halt, and I've been struggling with the outline of Epilogue 3 for half a hear now after giving it some rest. I'm pleased to announce that the plot outline is coming along quite nicely, and that I will start writing the first chapter soon. You read that right, 'first chapter' - I'm going to rewrite Epilogue 3. This rewrite will also no longer be a Sonic crossover - the idea I had in mind for the original E3 just really didn't work out. My sincerest apologies for all of this, and I can only hope that the idea I have in store can make up for it.

That said, Epilogue 3 isn't the only story due for a facelift. Despite it being my oldest work and the start of this series, I've grown to dislike my own writing more and more and more. The more I read it, the more unhappy I became with it. I made stupid clichés, unnecessary scenes, rushed necessary scenes, made unnecessary sub-plots (some of which I then also rushed...) and worst of all... I made Hypernova. Back when I started the Epilogue series many years ago it sounded like a great idea, and I still think the challenge of making an overpowered character likeable is a challenge I'm willing to face, but the way I handled him is just so... cringe-inducing. To me at least. He has too much for too little, and I'm bringing a hammer to that. In short, I will be refining and rewriting the series in its entirety: shaving off unnecessary bits, hammering out bad parts and keeping what's great.

In short: I'm sorry for this immense delay, and I wanted to let you all know that I'm working on this series once again.

There is one final point that I'd like to cover. A while ago a fellow writer approached me with the question if I will, once again, allow readers to submit original characters for a possible appearance within the story, with respect to the original creators of course. It is an idea that I've been pondering for a while now. I managed to write in the character they proposed, but I currently do not have the best points-of-entry for original characters submitted by readers. It is, however, something I would love to do once again, given how much people loved those opportunities back in Epilogue 1 and 2. I'll let you all know once I've made a decision on this subject.

Sorry once again, and take care.
