Originally I was going to upload the first chapter as a surprise, but I figured I’d make an announcement so that way you all know I’m not dead.

I haven’t forgotten about Violet Version. It’s just that I’ve become increasingly dissatisfied with the series – with looking at my old, inconsistent characterization and many other things. Violet Version was unexpectedly developing at every turn, and it had an unpredictability that I could not handle. However, I still love the characters, I still love writing it, and I still love that you guys are enjoying it.

Which is why I am saying that Violet Version is going to be rewritten. It’s going to be rewritten so it’s even bigger and better – the same characters will be there, just improved. Violet, Jax, Zeeg, Rikki, Eko, and a few others… they’re all going to be there. However, they have been noticeably tweaked, so it might come as a surprise to anyone who is still interested. Their personalities are roughly remaining the same, just with different motivations and substantially different histories.

I should note that I’m trying very hard to figure out a way that it won’t just be a monotonous reboot of what had occurred before. I’m trying to mix things up and introduce new elements that will hopefully keep everyone entertained until I reach the truly new material. I’m also trying to fix what I feel were my failings prior to this re-envisioning.

I hope to be more consistent with my updates, but I can’t promise anything. Right now, I just hope everyone will enjoy what I have planned. I hope everyone will love these characters even with their changes. I hope everyone will love the story.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed; I hope you all stick with me to the end. You guys are my fuel and my inspiration. Thank you. 3

See you at the first chapter, everyone!

Keaton the Black Jackal
