ladybug_archiveThanks to that weird dream I mentioned, I ended up skimming over most all of Life After the Tears yesterday. It's still my favorite of my YGO fics. X3 But even so, there are some things I'd like to tweak around.
The main thing involves Duke's death. As it is, it's only mentioned in chapter 6, before his Orichalcos-controlled self comes to taunt Tristan. I'm thinking I should mention it specifically in chapter 1. The way it is now, Yugi is only thinking that he lost two friends before the Duel Monsters invasion (Atem and Duke, neither mentioned by name right then).
Of course, there's also the usual, feeling like some things could have been fleshed out more. There's some summarized places that should not have been summarized. XD;
I also started thinking that I'd like to overhaul Der Engel des Todes and then try to write the rest of it. There's two major things I've been thinking of that would alter the story's plot (I think, for the better).
Item #1: As it stands right now, Duke was found alive in the temple rubble by the Legendary Warriors. And I ... kind of have this obsession with exploring him being dead. XD; I don't know why, but I have for years. So I want to alter Engel so he is dead, and helps the other characters for most of the story as a ghost, but then is restored at the end.
Item #2: I think I rushed Alexander's original mission of stalking Alister/trying to kill him. I want to stretch it out!
I'm hopefully going to get Engel out, look it over, and determine if these things can be done.
One thing about it, I do *not* want to delete and repost it (and lose all my wonderful reviews on it). So I'd have to edit the content of each chapter with the new stuff. And in order for people to know it had been done, I'd need to have another chapter written and mention that in the author note.
The thought of really getting Engel going again definitely excites me; it was gearing up to be as shocking as Life After the Tears.
