...So, yeah...Hero of the Multiverse here, with an important announcement. So,to those of you-

*RENEGADE INTERRUPT SFX*

"Wait, hold on!" Adam shouted, catching everyone's attention as the Team stopped the training to catch the insane sociopath's ramblings (especially once he started sounding like the now-late R. Lee Ermey). "Hold the fucking phone! Am I correct in that I see that it's been a whole year since the last update to Young Multiverser?!"

Looking at the story, and seeing that the last update was in June of 2016, Michael coughed awkwardly into his hand. "...Uh...actually over TWO years, to be more accurate."

This only made Adam channel his inner Gunnery Sergeant Hartman even further as he yelled "HOLY SHIT! HOLY FUCK! HOLY SWEET JESUS! HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THINGS SACRED AND DEAR TO MEN'S MORTAL HEARTS! SWEET DOUBLE BARRELED JUMPING JIMMINY CHRISTMAS CHRIST ON A CRACKER BOX, WHAT THE FUCK TOOK SO LONG, HERO?!"

Well, for starters, I've been busy with real life stuff-

"Oh, what? Did you catch a little fever?" the Aspect of Time sarcastically asked. "Did you finally get laid?!"

I was in college, you dick! I had exams, and other schoolwork! Plus, I was getting a job after graduating!

"My author goes to college and has a part time job, too, who gives a shit?!"

"Hey, college can be REALLY stressful, Adam!" Michael defended. "Jobs even moreso!"

"I fight godlike monsters on a daily basis! THAT'S stressful, you fucking spoon! BUT STAY ON SUBJECT! HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO MAKE A FANFICTION?!"

"Well, when you take into account stuff like writers block," the younger-looking Multiverser listed, "college life, and a whole lot of shit in real life, things can be pretty fucking hectic! He probably wanted to write, but could never get the inspiration or motivation to do anything!"

"Oh, BOO-FUCKING-HOO! The shitstain's had PLENTY of opportunities, LIKE ALL THE TIMES YOU PITCHED NEW IDEAS TO YOUR FELLOW AUTHORS, YOU COULD'VE SPENT THAT TIME ACTUALLY WRITING THIS SHIT!"

Just calm down, dude. I just need to get into the groove again-

"I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS DOING NOTHING BUT WAITING FOR YOU MORONS TO GET BACK TO WORK!"

"Uh, Adam?" the Tamaranean princess cut in. "Do you even know what writing these stories involves?"

Rounding on her, Adam cut in "I know exactly what it involves, Kori! It involves having little to no social life! It involves having a predilection to hentai-fetish bullshit! It involves getting off your lazy ass, and doing some work or going out into the real world once in a while to clear your head! SWEET HOLY PUSSY AND WALL MARIA, DIDN'T MULTIVERSER AUTHORS USE TO UPDATE FASTER THAN THIS?!"

Scanty and Kneesocks both sighed in disappointment. "Those were better times..." they bemoaned.

"'Better times'?! HOW DARE YOU RANK IT THAT LOW, DAEMONS! THOSE WERE FANTASTIC TIMES! And what about me?!" Adam ranted. "I'M ONLY ONE OF THE GREATEST CHARACTERS THIS SAGA'S PRODUCED!"

"And I haven't had any major screen time since I appeared!" Tula groused. "What the hell?!"

"While on the subject, why the hell am I so damn flat as a character?!" Donna threw in. "You originally had the idea to build me up more, but so far I've only been a background character!"

Calm down, girls! I swear, I'll be fixing character development and screen time issues soon enough! And Adam, that's a bit arrogant to say, considering how little YOUR author puts out work!

"Because my author spends more time helping everyone else with their stuff when he's asked to. Unlike YOU, with the majority of times he's asked you to help him with something. 'No, I'm not feeling it. Maybe tomorrow.' He asks you the next day. 'Maybe TOMORROW!'"

"Well when it comes to writing stuff out," Raven cut in, "it can be hard for an author to come up with instances of what-"

"HORSE! SHIT!"

"Here I am in space," Adam said as he was surrounded by stars in a void, "next to the list of characters with their voice actors!"

"Wait, who's that last one?" Robin asked.

"Here I am in Hell," he continued as unholy flames surrounded him (and ignoring Robin's question at the same time), "while describing a list of background music!"

"And here I am," Adam finished, holding his arms shoulder-width apart, "describing the size and width of the shit stain you created from the ball you dropped! It is both disgusting, and awe-inspiring, on both a creative, and mathematical level!"

Grimacing at the mental image, Conner muttered "That's...something."

Disgusting is what it is-

"Shut up!" the Aspect of Time snapped. "Hero of the Multiverse, you are quite possibly the stupidest sack of shit I've ever seen, and I've been around a lot of shit sacks, like Speedy Gonzales here!" Before Wally could retort at the finger and insult levied at him, Adam was looming right over him, eyes menacingly glowing red as his face was covered in shadows. "But so help me God, you dumb bitch-tit, if I hear one more fucking word out of your whore mouth..."

"...Uh, what was that you did there?" Megan asked in confusion.

"What, verbally abusing idiots? Mikey and I do that hourly."

"/We believe she meant when you were speaking to the author,/" Architect suggested.

He blinked in understanding. "Oh, that. What I just did, Megan, is a writing technique called 'breaking the fourth wall'..."

"..."

"IT'S WHAT WRITERS DO WHEN THEY CAN'T WRITE WORTH A CANCEROUS DICK! NOW GET ON WITH IT! ...MAGGOT!"

*SLAMS THE DOOR*

...

...

...

...Right then... Anyway, aside from that little bit of homage to an appropriate scene from an amazing abridged series, back to business.

So, to those of you who have stayed with this story, I want to put you at ease by saying A) I'm not quitting, and B) this story isn't dead.

However, it IS going to be rewritten into a new version, while this version of the story is left up for the time being.

This is a decision that I put a lot of thought into. And I've had a lot of time to think about it while IRL. In between finishing college, getting a well-paying job, playing awesome new games, watching new films, and other personal stuff, this is something that I felt needed to be done to revitalize the story, and get it not just back on track, but improve it overall.

In addition to editing and improving on things, there's also the subject of cutting out and/or rearranging parts of the story, as well as including all of the new content that I am working on with my fellow authors. This involves new story arcs, new characters, character development, and a whole lot of drama, romance, comedy, ecchi, action, and (possibly/most likely) sex.

So, until I can get the new version of Young Multiverser started, please bare with me and be patient a little while longer. And to those of you who continue to read my work and like it, thank you all for your support.

This is Hero of the Multiverse, signing off for now. And hoping to bring you more soon enough.
