Hey guys, this is the same author that abandoned this story 11 months ago. How are you all doing? I hope you're all safe with the world pandemic and all.
So after some reflections, I decided that I want to continue this story again.
...
I created a full outline, beginning to end. Final pairings and the final scene.
I even wrote the epilogue.
...
Angel's Dust was the first fanfiction that I cared for. My first story that surpassed Forty-thousand words. The first fanfiction that I've given effort to.
Sure, it's trashy. But it's my kind of thrash that I would read. Angel's Dust, as if it weren't obvious enough, was heavily inspired by abridged media, Hellsing Ultimate, and other meta-jokes that I found funny at the time.
Now that I'm not actually busy at the moment...
I decided to give it another shot.
Like, this story needs a lot of improvements, like a lot.
...
I uploaded a spiritual successor called Heaven's Fall (Guess what anime I referenced, it rhymes with Date Bay Sight).
But... it didn't felt right. It felt hollow somehow... (Again, another fate reference).
So I guess I'd be discontinuing that too... phooey.
I now realized that all of my multi-chapter stories were discontinued before their prologues end. Wow, just wow for me.
...
I'm getting sidetracked again, so I Angel's Dust will return. Same name, same DxD setting. Issei is an exorcist, he will not become an angel blah blah.
So if you want to see if my writing skills progressed (or deteriorated) or not. I will thank you.
...
But I am making a lot of changes. Like a ton. Here are some of the major ones.
...
First, no harem. That is non-negotiable. I've grown to dislike harem (really, what a smart guy, and you're still sticking with this fandom?) as a whole. I want Issei to settle for one girl and that's it.
I understand if many of you already unfollowed or unfavorited Angel's Dust. (This is DxD after all).
Second, Issei's abridged attitude would be toned down. Minimal swearing and a lot more snark. Also his parents are alive, hooray for stable families in fiction!
Third, Fight scenes will be minimal (Since I suck at them) and if there is one, it would be fast and straightforward as possible.
Fourth, Heaven is still united under Michael's banner. That's all I'm going to say.
Fifth, no more POLLS? Like... was I so desperate for people to review my story?
Sixth, shorter author's note.
Seventh, Angel's Dust will be 35 chapters long.
And Finally, updates will be consistent. Two months a chapter is the best thing I can do. Need that I remind you, dear reader, that I am lazy... and addicted to Fate Grand Order.
So, Chapter 1 will be called "Once More, With Feeling" and will take some elements from "Heaven's Fall".
So I guess that's all I'm going to say.
Oh, wait.
I'm going to rewrite everything here, just a heads up. Don't worry though, I never delete my stories, no matter how horrible they are. I want to be reminded of my subpar writing thank you very much.
I will compile chapters 1 to 7 in one long chapter, just so everyone can compare the old Angel's Dust and the new one!
Well, see all of you in two months! I mean it this time.
Have a Nice Day!
