Ok guys, you read that title right; I'm rewriting The Chronicles of a Furball. That's right, I'm going to tear down the current outhouse of a story and build a magnificent monumet to badassery in it's place.

So they question on all of your minds right now is probably Why?

Well I won't bullshit you: The way that Chronicles was headed, it was going to become a complete and total train wreck. I realised that the plot was going to be extremely generic and I was setting the story up to fail.

How about a little history, eh? I started my pony writing career last December, before that I was writing a Fallout fic on Fanfiction.com. Long story short: It was awful, I don't recommend it. I decided that the first pony fic I wanted to write was for Chess Game of the Gods. Oh god what a bad idea...but I stuck to it.

Fun fact: Sylus wasn't the first fic I submitted to CGotG, the first was called Warrior in the North. It starred an alcoholic woman brony named Willow who was approached by an OC named Jerry, a destiny god. Bada-bing bada-boom, one conversation later and She's in Equestria on a frozen island to the north as a Lucario (because Lucario is best Pokemon).

 Frankly, the first chapter I wrote for it was fucking awesome, but it got shot down due to there already being a Pokemon chess fic. Oh well.

The pont is, I had to start from scratch. For a week, I was at a loss for what my character would go to Equestria as. So then came along Christmas, and I got The Jak and Daxter collection for PS3 so I started the series from the first game. While I was watching the opening cutscene, it hit me like a truck. Holy shit, how bout I have an Ottsel character? OMG SWEEEEET!

And so started The Chronicles. That was when I was not serious about writing, and before I started getting criticism and tips from all you awesome bastards, plus a few more seasoned writers.

So enough beating around the bush, it's high-time I tell you all what I'm going to be doing different this time around.

1: The smallest change is going to be the removal of Sulys. That asshole was a bad idea from the start.

2: Since I'm loosing a main character,  I'll gain another. Don't know who just yet, maybe you should leave suggestions as to who this person would be in the comments section below?

3: Complete and total overhaul of the plot. Less traveling, more fighting. Though Sylus' origins will remain mostly unchanged.

4: This is the biggest one, the rebirth of Sylus. I'm going to try and completely revamp his personality, mabye give him a few more emotional flaws and have him make a few less groan-inducing jokes. I mean, he killed a sentient being and showed little remorse. That demands change.

And don't worry about the current characters, they'll remain unchanged, save for a few little details.

Soooo, that's it. I'll try to get the next first chapter posted sometime in the next week.

Until then, I'll see you all on The Dark Side of the Moon.

(Oh and by the way, I'll have a new non-chess game story coming out soon. I promise it's better than the current state of this story.)
