Author's note

Hello to my readers of Muv luv Resurgence, this is Hartman762.

Surprised to hear from me after all this time? I understand that feeling quite well.

I won't beat around the bush and give a lame excuse like life problems or some shit, because everyone here deserves an explanation for my year-long hiatus.

In short, I lost my job, dropped out of school, in a desperate search for a new one, sheer laziness, and overtime wavering interest in Muv-luv. I don't hate the franchise, just forgot about it. Like a memory from your highschool days you keep looking back on, but can't do a thing about it.

I think the reason why stems from one singular problem rampant in Muv-luv fanfiction and even stories today: Nostalgia. Every one of us remembers how brutal Alternative was to its characters, and we put Takeru into a position where he NEEDS to save everybody he loves. If not only to fix his broken character in Alternative, but also flesh out interactions between the side and main characters. That i admire, but i think most of us are tired of retreading old ground simply because we've played through it before.

Not to mention the disastrous pacing issues this series is known for, coinciding with the long drawn-out conversations that take forever to get through. Hope the anime fixes that.

Look, I'm not here to diss on the Muv-luv fandom after my sudden disappearance, cause god knows this series is BEGGING for new content and ideas. All I'm doing is pointing out the obvious path our section has taken. Again, no disrespect to those writers cause I've been there before, but this is why i wrote Resurgence to be after Alternative. Honestly, I did go crazy with the continuity, but at the time, I had huge plans for the story all written down somewhere. I really loved the spaceship part.

On behalf of myself and Muv-luv Resurgence, I wish to apologize for my long absence and possibly worrying you all in the process.

However, for those that read it even now, Thank you all so very much for the support. Views on fanfiction aren't much in value, but to me they hold great weight for me. I don't know how to say it, you guys just rock.

What will happen with Resurgence? Will I continue it? No. Will I delete it? No. Does that mean I'm starting from scratch? Yes. With Intergate and the anime coming soon, I'm starting to get back into the groove of things. When can you expect this new story? During summer at best.

This is Hartman762 signing off. Have a nice day everyone. Peace!
