Hey guys, um... so you might hate me for this but...

I am deleting Monster. I like parts of it but it doesn't really go with the original plans, and that is turning out to be a big problem. This series has never really gone according to plan, but this time it needs to. I don't like the direction it's going, even though I like some of the ideas that go into this new direction. I personally like the old version better - the original Monster, wherein it wasn't focused on a hunt but rather the aftermath of such a thing, and the consequences. As much as I love messing with the boys, I think this is kind of out of character for them. of course Taylor's out of character XD He's not himself at the moment, and it's really freaking hard to write Lo when there's no Taylor because they're kind of a package deal, so maybe that's the problem, I don't know.

I am deleting this story but will be re-posting it once I get the version I like. The first two or three chapters will probably be the same, I don't know, or they might be in flashbacks or something, I honestly don't know. I don't think anything will change until chapter three but we'll see, I guess. As of right now this story is on hold even though I am technically working on it. I want to be a few chapters ahead before I start posting, so forget what you've read here, yeah? ;) Because it will most likely be different.

Sorry if you like this version - I am kind of fond of certain parts but other parts irritate me and I think that's why this story has been so hard to write. The others came to me easily enough and were finished rather quickly (save for Soundproof though I don't know why, it was the shortest of them all yet took the longest) but this one was on hold for a long time and no further work has been done on it save for about 3 more pages. It's not fun anymore, it feels like a chore and that's not good. This whole series has been fun to write, fun to toy with the characters, but this one is hard.

So I am going to change a few things and go about this story in a different way, and I hope you will all bear with me because I really do believe it will be in the best interests of the story and characters :) I am debating if Alison and Cory will be in the new version but if they are, rest assured Lo and Cory will argue ;) I don't know this happens but it does. Cory was originally supposed to be shy and passive while Alison was supposed to be out-going and aggressive but apparently they switched when I wasn't looking.

I am beginning to ramble now so I will try to wrap this up.

Yes this story will eventually be deleted but I probably won't delete it until I am ready to post the new version. And for those reading An Unexpected (and Unwanted) Surprise (god this needs a new name haha) please keep in mind I started that story long before Monster so it has little to no bearing on its actual plot, though it does mention a few general things. It is pretty much entirely AU other than the fact it takes place somewhere in the future of this universe (a future that might never happen, keep in mind XD).

Ack rambling again, sorry, I'm exhausted.

Anyway, thank you to all who have reviewed this story and whatnot, it really means a lot! I live off reviews, I really do! It makes me update faster :) hehe. I will try to have the new version up sometime in the next week but we will see, yeah? So this is just a little heads up! Let me know what you think about it by leaving a review, yah? THANKS :D
