The Sentinels: The Conversion Bureau

I'll just get straight to the point:
I'm canceling this story.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to finish it and I may even come back to it someday. But as of now I can't even force myself to work on this one.

The original idea I started writing this with was way over the top with aspects like over powered characters with no real restraints, blatant plot devices, and utterly useless additions (like Raymond being able to control time but never using the ability? I just want to shoot myself for that one) and hints at massive world expanding ideas. In short: utter trash.
Additionally, with all the times I've changed my mind on different aspects of the story from minute details to large overarching themes and the many times I've gone back to edit, tweak, fix, or just flat out rewrite I'm fairly confident that what is published of this story is filled with conflicting and out of place ideas.
And now that I'm ready to actually take writing this seriously and know where I want to take the story, it's just too large a mess to continue with as it stands.

I've wanted to get back to writing for a long time now, but I think part of the reason as to why I haven't done so was because I was too intent on finishing this thing before working on anything else.
A story that I look at and wonder: "How did I even manage to come this far with this?"
A story that has taken me the past four months to push out almost barely three thousand words of the next chapter.

So... yeah... I won't be touching this for a very, very long time.

I just want to address one thing before I finish up. I don't know if there's anyone still waiting for updates to this story or even remotely interested in it any more, but in case of the off chance that there is, feel free to shoot me a private message if you're curious at all in regards to what I was planning with the characters or how I planned on finishing this story. I'll respond with the asked for details as soon as I'm able to.
