(This is a copy of the first announcment look at bottom for new info)

Right… so there's no easy way to put this.

I am basically restarting Spider of Peace.

Now a lot of you might be angry or sad, which I understand, but for personal reasons and for my own sanity/stability I need to do this.

The only thing I ask of you is to tell me whether you want this new Spider of Peace to replace the chapters on this fic or do you want it on a separate fic?

Now before you ready your fingers to type up something to stop me from doing this: stop.

This cannot be changed at all. I need to do this or I will be a broken machine producing absolute shit because I'm honestly miserable trying to write for this series now. Why? Because I was trying to be a crowd pleaser the entire time which lead me to make decisions I didn't want to.

From the very beginning I didn't want to go the harem route at all because I wasn't too comfortable with it. I wasn't happy trying to think of something to progress the harem slowly within the chapter when I wanted to do so many things differently. But I choose to do them because it made you, the readers, happy.

Honestly for the last two months I've only been working on new projects (Omni-hero Academia and another idea I won't start for a while) and revisiting an old fic of mine because they make me happy and I look forward to future ideas and concepts that evolve the characters.

You have until Friday the 12th of February before to vote whether or not you want this new SoP to replace the old chapters or to make new one entirely.

I'm sorry and I hope you'll understand- Zedref

Like he said before, this was really affecting him. No motivation to write the story because the story he was writing wasn't what he wanted to write. Eventually it would be a source of pain and sadness. So, for the good of the author and the good of the storyline, this is being discontinued in its current form. Sorry if you liked the harem and this story in general, but it cannot continue as is. Once this story has been reborn, you will be able to see the true form that it was always meant to take – the form that existed within Zedref's mind, untainted by the wants of others. I'll still be there when it is rebirthed, like a midwife helping the baby be born. Till then! ~Eli

!NEW INFORMATION!

Okay the new story is/going to be up after this new update. Also before you ask the name of this fic will be changed to "Web of Heroes" and the new fic will entitle the name SoP because I like the name Spider of Peace too much. But yeah in roughly one hour the new and improved "The Spider of Peace" will be up with it's first chapter and I hope to see you all there.
