Inactivity is fun!
You and I apparently have very different ideas about what exactly a "rewrite" is... x_x
I call zwtfbbqhaxthat'satotallydifferentstoryshenanigans.
In any event, that's really a good thing anyways, I'd rather read a new story than the same one twice. I really don't understand how you can call it a rewrite though, nuuuuuuuu, my poor brain.
I think the "rewrite" is on the whole much more well written. While I don't really dislike the author insertions, I think the story would probably be better off without them. That's just my opinion though, I can see how some people like the humour, but I find they stab suspension of disbelief to death repeatedly with a blunt pickle. I may be exaggerating that point

. The story is certainly strange, I'll give it that! Strange in a good way that is, IE imaginative and interesting to read.
Well that's all from me for now; I don't respond to updates quickly, but I will certainly catch 'em sooner or later and I usually comment when I do! Ta-ta!
