FEATURED 6/28/2015

THANK YOU ALL!

DETAILS FOR REVAMP

Starting from chapter 1 all the way through to chapter 59 the story will be fully revamped. This 'Revamp' will NOT be a remake, instead it will enhance the current material while adding context and bring it up to current projects in terms of quality. There will be no major retcons or story changes, I'm doing this revamp because I wanted to finish this story, but was unhappy with the sloppiness of the beginning chapters.

Check Chapter 1's Author notes for an updated counter of revamped chapters.
