I am almost ashamed to be back here before you all, not with a new chapter, but with this message instead.

I am sorry. I am sorry that I have let you all down. This story, which has somehow managed to keep gaining Favourites and Follows, which I have not worked on in literal years. I am sorry.

I burnt out, to put it bluntly. I wrote and wrote and wrote until I realised that I no longer found any joy here anymore. It wasn't fun to write new chapters. It was a chore, a neverending slog to keep going because I didn't want to disappoint you all. And then I couldn't even bring myself to actually tell you I'd given up… I'm so sorry.

GJ115, when I saw your review my first thought was "why? How? How could you still believe in me after so long?" But then I realised how grateful that made me feel. Even after all that time, that long silence, you still remembered me? Still I felt too hollow to keep going but… maybe there was another way.

I am not here simply to apologise to you all but also to make an announcement. I am going to try to get back to writing. It won't be easy, I know this, especially with the path I have chosen. Because I have chosen that age old path of reboot. This version of Genesis Da Omega's adventures will end here, I'm sorry to say.

But I'm going to try and write a new saga.

A new story. One that I hope can do the green skinned speed demon proud. I'm going to leave this version here, as a reminder, but I hope to be able to write a new tale for you. It will be slow. I hope to write a goodly portion of the story long before I even post the first chapter, so I actually plan where I'm going with it this time. Things may change. Things may vanish. And once again, I am sorry for that. But it's what I feel needs to be done.

I cannot promise that it will be done soon. I'm not even sure I can promise I won't burn out again. But I want to try.

I don't know how many people who read this will care, but I want to say thank you to all the people who still decided to follow and favourite this even though it had not been updated in forever.

And a very special and warm thank you once again to GJ115, for still believing even when I believed it was a lost cause.

I'll see you all again, I hope…

Until then,

Elemental Hybrid out
