I’ve had this in the backk of my mind for a while, but lately it’s been really nagging me so out with this.
Black Heart from my perspective is a… mess. Admittedly when I first started writing it, I didn’t plan it out too well and as it went on, I kind of just went with the flow. Took multiple month-long hiatuses from writing it, and the final production was still shitty because I was too lazy to really think about what I was typing down and just saying “Fuck it” when I was done.
After I begrudgingly finished it just to get it over with, I’ve taken the time to re-read my own story and from a reader’s point of view, a lot of it makes sense. I didn’t fully explain some plot points and then there were some I forgot to flesh out and carry on entirely.
I am happy that it’s the first story I’ve ever completed and that it’s gotten over 90k reads as of today, but aside from that I really don’t feel any satisfaction. I’m not proud of it at all.
With all of that being said and after not only re-reading Black Heart, but re-watching the anime and doing some research, I’ve found some motivation to begin re-writing the story a little bit. I’m going to continue publishing old chapters from the Sinnoh Shitshow, but my priority right now is rewriting my atrocity of what is called fan fiction. When will the changes be published? I’m not sure. It’ll take a while for me to fully edit all 38 chapters, but before the end of the year is a good estimate.
