Some time ago I'm sure some of you will remember me bringing the axe down on this story, then rather foolishly I changed my mind (something I am prone to doing from time to time, which is one of the reasons why I've been working on this story for almost five years)

When I started the original story back in 2007 it was supposed to be a standard run of the mill sci-fi horror story with the Digidestined looking at what defines us as humans whilst battling alien hordes. In short it was a way for me to try and cram four seasons of Digimon, Star trek and Firefly into a single story.

Since then I've tried to make the storyline grander and grander, thown in more characters than you can shake a stick at and dreamed up plans for epice sword fights and space has in fact reached the point where there are so many plotlines and characters that I've lost track of just what the hell is going on.

In short I feel it's collapsed under its own weight.

I made several attempts to write chapter fifteen but all ended up exceedingly poor and after all the support you guys have given me I believe you deserve the best I can offer

Now in case any of you are getting worried I am not axing this story again however I have decided to start a massive and overdue overhaul.

So what can you guy's expect from, what will be, my fourth re-write.

1. The obvious Star trek and Firefly references will be removed, replaced with a more original 'Terran Empire'

2. Instead of one hideously obese and complex story I've sub-divided it into a Four part series. Two will follow the Tamer's story and Two will follow the Original and 02 characters. Depending on how successful these stories are I may write more, who can tell

3. I am currently re-watching Digimon and doing lots of research into writing properly so I hope my technique and characterisation will have improved this time around

4. The Digidestined will take the spotlight again, as I'm afraid that Section 1 have taken over the story in more ways than one. Section 1 will still have a part to play, but a significantly reduced one.

5. More Germans :D (For those of you who haven't noticed, I love Germans)

I would like to place a date on when this rewrite will be finished but truth be told I don't know. It is a major overhaul and my handwritten notes have a habit of disappearing. That and after three rewrites so far I am quite anxious to get it right this time.
I shall however endeavour to finish the story as quickly as quality permits

All that remains now is for me to give thanks to

You guys have truly been great, each of you inspiring me to never give up even when things look bleak. Without you guys I wouldn't have made it this far and I am eternally grateful to each and everyone of you.

The Monster Within Us All shall remain up until part 1 of the Re-write (Ticonderoga) is complete.
