Hello, lovely people who bother to listen to me! I haven't died just yet! I would like to notify you that I will now undergo the process of rewriting An Honest Mistake! It would be easy to simply chop it off here, but since author's-note only chapters are boring and prohibited, the below chapter is a dialogue describing some of the changes one can expect to see in the new version of AHM, written by everyone's favorite OCs, Kiera, Coralyn, and Tara.

Kiera: Hello! My name is Kiera.

Coralyn: They know that. It's right next to your line.

Kiera. Shut up. Anyway, my name is Kiera, and I've been told to tell you about the new revisions being made to our story.

Tara: Hi! I'm here too!

Kiera: First off, the story will be more realistic!

Tara: Yeah! No more random underage-graduate nonsense! Not that that's nonsensical in any way...

Coralyn: Oh, and Kiera won't be so stupid this time!

Kiera: I am right here!

Coralyn: You were there the entire time but did that prevent you from acting stupid? No!

Kiera sighs.

Kiera: Some specific corrections are: a more natural connection between Kiera and Leo, more definable and predictable personalities, less strange inexplicable circumstances...wait, there ate talking turtles involved here. Isn't every circumstance strange and inexplicable? And why does my relationship need mending?!

Tara: Stop whining. There will also be much better characterization, especially on OC parts.

Coralyn: Like my dad? Because, man, I really wanted to kick him last time.

Tara: Oh, no worries, he's still be a hard-case.

Kiera: We have things to do here!

Tara and Coralyn make faces at Kiera.

Kiera: Real mature. Anyway, there may also be some minor swearing. Probably nothing a few 'hell's, but if it flows right and isn't too bad, expect to see it.

Coralyn: Less brand name usage!

Tara: Hey, it says I'm supposed to talk about that!

Coralyn: Well, you can still talk about it, but I said it.

Tara growls.

Tara: We're cutting back on song lyrics and brand names. Instead of using actual brands, we might supply a fake one. Who knows, we might even end up writing some lyrics if it suits our purposes.

Coralyn: Oh, just don't let Kiera write it. She might be a good writer, but she's a sucky poet.

Kiera: Oh, thanks.

Tara: Oh, yeah! That was another thing!

Kiera and Coralyn look at Tara in confusion.

Tara: I thought it said somewhere that we might have different jobs in the new one.

Coralyn: I dunno. Maybe. I think they're changing our ages and backstories a little too.

Kiera: And they're bumping up the age of the turtles to seventeen. Apparently it's canon correct.

Tara: It's also canon correct that they live on a farm in upstate New York and that Leo has a severe throat injury, but I don't think we're applying that here.

Coralyn: Well, I think we take place before the invasion happens,

Kiera: Yeah, around The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman maybe?

Tara: Somewhere in that ballpark.

Coralyn: Also, I think we're clearing up the Aria character.

Kiera: Hopefully. He scared me a little before.

Tara: Wait, what tense is the revamp in?

Coralyn: I dunno. I don't think it's been decided yet.

Tara: Well then! We're just going to have to put a poll up, aren't we?

Kiera: And by 'we' you mean DB, right?

Tara: Of course. We can't very well do it ourselves.

Coralyn: We're breaking the fourth wall now?

Kiera: I guess it's an option.

Coralyn: So. Mm...what else?

Tara: Uh...I think that's about it.

Kiera: Roughly. I mean, it's not like all of these are set in stone.

Coralyn: Alright. Now what do we do?

Kiera: I'm not sure. I guess we could-

Tara: BYE!

Covers screen with hand.

Coralyn: What are you doing?!

Kiera: We aren't done yet!

Tara: GOODBYE!

I hope you enjoyed that little tidbit. There will be a poll on my profile regarding some of these changes. Please take a look.
