Inside of the "Xenoblade Chronicles: Rewind" Universe

Neetz, Samuel and Lokomoco were sitting inside of the Makna Forest, doing absolutely nothing but playing a game of gold fish. Currently, Samuel currently held one card in his hand while Neetz was looking into the leaves of the huge tree mumbling to her as Lokomoco had his cards still hidden from view.

"Got any nines?" Samuel asked the Nopon.

"Nope! Bird Man Go Fish!" The Nopon said happily.

The High Entia groaned as he reached for a card, pulling it out and placing it into his hand.

"Now Lokomoco turn! Does Bird Man have threes?"

Samuel's eyes widen before he places his two cards down, being both threes.

"Hooray! Lokomoco gets double the rations for tonight!"

"…How do you keep winning this game?!" The High Entia screamed at the Nopon.

"Lokomoco good at game; used to gamble lunch money by paying Go Fish!"

" .ENOUGH!" Neetz screeched before standing up, "I'm sick and tired of waiting. I'm visiting her myself!"

Summoning Telaensis out, she swung her sword, ripping a hole in space and time. Both males were shocked as Neetz lowered the weapon. The hole opened into an apartment complex where another teenager girl was currently sleeping by her laptop, sided by a stack of homework and other things not-related to Xenoblade at all.

"You!" Neetz yelled, walking into the other dimension waving her sword in the air, "Aurora! Get your lazy butt up!"

"Um…" Samuel and Lokomoco gazed into the room as the teenage girl was waking up.

"Huh… What's even going- EH?! What are you three doing here?!" The girl shrieked seeing the ticked-off Neetz with Samuel and Lokomoco behind her.

"YOU! Aurora, you need to post an update on Rewind!" Neetz walked over and grabbed the other girl by the collar of her jacket, "You have 3,715 views on it, 11 favorites, 17 followers and this has a few critic and people possibly waiting for the next chapter. . . ?!"

"Neetz please put her down! You're scaring her!" Samuel yelled, breaking Neetz away from Aurora.

"NO! She needs to tell them!"

"What does author have to say?" Lokomoco asked, "She did nothing wrong."

"…Why aren't you two listening to me?!"

"I… No, I think I should properly address those people who are waiting for the next chapter about my current situation…" Aurora collected her breath before clearing her throat, "I need to inform those who might be wondering about this story's fate… Thanks for reminding me Neetz… even though your aggression wasn't really necessary."

…Well this was long overdue now isn't it?

Hello everybody, if you still remember I'm SPRGMR27 or Aurora and I just wanted to leave this as an… announcement and update for those who are waiting for the next chapter of Xenoblade Chronicles Rewind.

I guess there could be an explanation that could be given as well, so I hope you'll all listen to me and understand what I'm going to tell you.

Firstly, the reason why this story hasn't been updated was because of a few things.

One of them was because… strangely while I was playing the game I stopped in the Makna Forest after getting Riki (Which is where the story kind of stopped as our Party was headed to fight the Telethia). I stopped for a reason I wasn't expecting at all when I was playing the game: I had somehow grew bored and tired of playing around and completing all the mission given out to me.

Now I know they can be skipped and as far as I know they don't affect the main story… except the colony ones I'm not too sure. However for someone like me, I find myself trying to complete those goals when I'm having trouble with bosses or I got a ways to go till the next story event. This was one thing that crushed my drive to work on this self insert.

Secondly were Neetz, Samuel and Lokomoco – mainly Neetz. With some critic and things from the reviews, I realized that I wasn't accurately portraying them like I had envisioned. Samuel and Lokomoco were easy to fix but as for Neetz… she was a whole different story. After going through what I wanted for this story to be (the story of Xenoblade Chronicles with a girl that has never experienced the game before hand taking part in the events) I soon came to realize that what I have written so far wasn't going to cut it for the story. If I were to rewrite this story with the same plot but with a better self insert, it wouldn't feel right.

Therefore, that was another crush to the drive I had.

Lastly… I just honestly lost interest in continuing the story. Other things like Persona, Pokemon, school, family and friends, etc. Those things came into my life and I just couldn't find anything to keep me from rewriting or continuing this at all.

Now that I had shared those problems, I will tell you what I have official decided:

I will discontinue Xenoblade Chronicles Rewind completely and will either delete or leave it here for those of you who enjoyed it while it lasted.

I've mainly been inspired and focused on one of my newer works: Persona Fragments. That fanfiction will be updated occasionally but I am focusing all my time and effort towards that one. So if you all want to see what I'm currently working on or would like to support me, you can see that instead.

…That should be it. This should be the last thing I should update on this otherwise dead self insert. Unless I can get re-inspired and completely rewrite this under a new title, Xenoblade Chronicles Rewind will be no more.

I'm sorry if you find any misspellings here but that's all I've got to say. I know this is a long author's note but I think I needed to point this out seeing that I got this much support for the project.

That's all from me and until this gets revived somehow (which is very unlikely for the time being), this is SPRGMR27 or Aurora, signing out forever on Xenoblade Chronicles Rewind.
