Alright hi

So if you know me, there's a very large chance you're familiar with A World Unwound.

If not, AWU is an MCSM fanfiction that's been my pride and joy for a while now. I finished it over a year ago, it's the most read of my actual stories, yada yada yada.

A few chapters ago, I mentioned that I was thinking about rewriting it. That was kind of a lie- at that point in time, I wasn't really thinking about it, it was just a random idea.

But now I am really thinking about it.

If we're being completely honest here, the actual writing of AWU sucks. Especially the beginning, ugh.

It was a really long time ago. I've changed a lot as a writer, and I've made a lot of alterations to the 'big idea' of the story since then. I'd rather like to go back through and fix everything; deal with the plotholes, smooth out the crappy writing, and make it match up with my new ideas.

But.

A World Unwound took me eight months to write, from January to September 2017. It was pretty time-consuming.

I don't have as much time nowadays, and I've got several other projects I'm currently passionate about as well. One of these is actually the sequel to AWU, that I've been neglecting for several months now.

I also...kinda don't want to have to face all the stupid fucking shit that I pulled while writing AWU. There's a LOT of stuff that I either glossed over or entirely ignored, and my current author brain simply won't let me do that if I rewrite it. I don't really want to have to look at my old idiocy long enough to rewrite it.

But I want AWU to be known as my contribution to the MCSM fandom. Like I said earlier, it's my most popular story; dozens of people have read it and even more probably will.

To put it simply, I want it to stay something that I'm proud of. And right now, it's starting to not be.

So I'm a bit stuck.

I kinda want to rewrite it, but I'm not sure if I want to devote all the time and effort it will require.

I kinda want to leave it alone, but I'm not sure if I really want that to stay my MCSM legacy.

Opinions??

Ugh. I don't have the brainpower for this today.
