Hello there, everyone! Please, read it all to understand.
Ancient Kings is by far my most read fanfic and the one which has more followers and comments. Even after I stopped uploading more and more people add it to favourites and follow it. This blows my mind; I feel so happy to see all of you enjoying it, especially since this one has a very special place in my heart. Therefore, it hurts to know that many of you are still waiting for it and I'm unable to upload it as I'd like to.
I feel like I own you all an apology. I have everything planned out for Ancient Kings and still it's terribly hard to sit down and write it. I'm currently writing for other fandom (Kingdom Hearts) and it makes me sad that I just don't feel like writing this one anymore. I even took down the last chapter; I tried to write it and see if it would help me get back to it but, sadly, it didn't and simply came off as a very bad-written chapter which added nothing to the story and that I regret uploading in the first place.
So I'm here to try and explain why I don't feel like writing this at the moment but why I still want to try my hardest to finish it this year.
First: I really want to finish it this year because it's been on hiatus for faaar too long. Not only this one but also "Until the End", my Heavy Rain fanfiction and the very first fanfic I ever wrote in my life. I don't know what awaits me this year; therefore, I want to make sure I can at least finish what I've started before 2018 ends.
Second: The feeling is just gone. And I'm not putting all of the blame on Marvel, but part of it is Marvel's fault.
Here's why: I don't like what they have done to Thor! I'll respect you if you liked the last two movies of course but for me, who's been using the first Thor movie as a guide to develop the characters, I must say both last movies made me feel even less excited to continue with this fic. Even though it's an alternative reality of some sorts it's still heavily based on what I felt from the first movie. I miss how there was this hint of the relationship between the Odinsons and how they both grew through everything that happened. The second Thor movie just... I don't know. And although the third one was 'fun', it was definitely not what I expected for the God of Thunder. Also, I must say: Loki always betraying Thor is annoying me. I understand that comes from the comics, but since those are sequels to movies I feel like ithey're just trying to make more of the same. Also, Loki pretending to be Odin and watching his 'death' made me cringe. Once again, I understand his character but since the first Thor made it all very emotional and serious I just didn't like it.
So, yeah... I have everything written in my mind out for the end of Ancient Kings. I just need to sit down, reread everything I wrote (To try and get into the mood again) and finish it. I must say it's also pretty hard to read what I wrote back then since my writing has changed and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I think that's it. Just to remind you: I'm not leaving it forever. I really, reaaally want to finish it this year. Still, too much happened those past years, things I don't even want to think about honestly, and that plus what I've said above made me stop it all altogether. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to the ones who are still waiting for it and understood why it went on hiatus for more than years. I'm terribly sorry to those who gave up but I'm don't blame you and I never will (After all it's just a story and even I would've given up on it honestly). My sincere apologies also for the last chapter which was awful and for that reason was taken down.
I hope you enjoy what I have in store, even if I can't say when it'll be available to you! I truly hope that, by the end of it, you can say that it was worth the wait.
Hugs for you all!
