A/N~ Hey guys. I'm here with a very important annoucement! I have bad news and good news to share:
Bad news is; Hexagon is once again cancelled. This time, however, the cancellation is definitely permanent.
Such a shame, too. What I wanted to do out of this was to make a full-fledged Power Rangers crossover story that unites all the Ranger teams together against a common enemy. I started this project back in 2015 with a previous version of the story, one that featured the Megaforce Rangers fighting their old enemies from Super Megaforce, joining them with fellow Rangers from across space and time. Through this, I hoped to give the Rangers more character development; make them more likeable. The story would also build upon the Power Rangers lore, by taking it to worlds far from Earth and bringing together the entire Power Rangers roster.
Unfortunately, the story was poorly planned, made in a time where I was still trying to make a proper guide to what direction the story would go to. It all ended up being a big mess as I wrote on, so after a while to consider my options, I had to axe that version of the story.
The second, and current version was to rewrite the story, this time, in the perspective of new, original characters that could give me tons of options to pick and send to the table. The story was similar, but it had additions from the recent Power Rangers materials, like Beast Morphers and some of the Shattered Grid as well.
Then, the other stories I've written took up more of my time. Plus, the story, just like the previous version, still didn't have the right planning. I ended up being a victim of writer's block for a really long time with his version, forcing me back from doing it further.
Thus, once again, I have to cancel the story, leaving this without any plans going forward.
But is that the end of my time with power Rangers fanfiction?
Definitely not! While I was trying to build new stories, I had a few newer ideas that would help fill the void that Hexagon shall leave behind. This idea being; a trilogy of individual Power Rangers seasons that focused on smaller conflicts that would eventually build up to a larger one. This way; I can start small with a simple MMPR-esque story, complete with simpler, more fun characters that can drive the story onwards. Inspirations from Hexagon will remain, but everything will change completely.
If I have to be honest, I had much more ideas to work with for this newer trilogy than Hexagon before it. This time, I am slowly taking the more professional route and begin writing up the guides and pipelines before I begin writing up the chapters. That way; I don't have to jumble up things as I go.
With all things considered, I'm quite happy I started Hexagon. It definitely gave me the blueprints to what could make for an epic Power Rangers story. However, just like the actual Hexagon project decades ago, this was too convoluted and complex for me in the meantime. Thus, I hope the newer stories will be much more fun and easier to write, with just about the same amount of ambition as the previous story before it.
I just want to thank all who have taken interest in Hexagon, no matter the iteration. And I certainly hope that you will stay with me as I write down what I need for the next adventure.
Until then, may the Power protect you
