Once again, thank you to everyone who has stuck around this far through the learning curves and bumpy road!

  Larger chapter today or tomorrow to kick it off for many reasons.

  This will be broken up into 3 ses: Dire, Story, Critique

  Dire:

  This prison movement is an official time skip to the future just like between Are season 1 episodes 3 and 4. Why? I'll get into that in the critique se.

  What does this mean?

  Romance will now be avaible and the future has ged.

  Story:

  As we know, characters will be different when you ge the fual building blocks such as Vi not going to prison for years and Powder not being raised by Sild maniputed.

  Something I realized too te, for better or worse in the middle of an FF with my level of experience.

  What does the story more closely resemble then?

  Oddly enough, thinking about it, the alternate universe with ges.

  It kind of made me wohe moment you put a new character in there and start making ges, does the whole universe instantly bee an alternate universe?

  The cil is still there, mel and ambessa.

  Caitlyn would be closer to being a sheriff since she started earlier due to the a i and Orion spurring her growth.

  Vander would still be running the bar

  Jinx will probably be talking with Ekko since Orion hasn't been there.

  And Vi, well, her violent tendencies I don't thio be ged. Miss boxer.

  BUT

  Silco would still be around produg Shimmer aech disaster is still on the horizon

  Orion has also been ied by something from the Void. He adapt it or not.

  Critiques:

  Obviously, rocky road.

  On a base level:

  Chapters up until 20: HUGE learning curve.

  From there until the explosion sending him to Ionia: I personally liked it.

  It was the best-written part so far (in my opinion) even if it did borrow heavily from the show. But the borrowing is probably what made it the best part.

  Ionia: Could've beeer, I just couldn't find the motivation. Disappointed with myself looking back, but I don't hate the decision.

  Returning to Piltover:

  Ho self-critique: It's been okay at best.

  It didn't capture the magi the first chapters up until Ionia because it wasn't using source material as muymore as a base.

  I learned a lot during this phase about creating side characters, too many side characters, and evolving the character.

  Also more focus on fleshing out personalities. This especially means Jinx and Vi now that things have ged.

  Orion's strength, while it has increased, I increased the strength of the enemy strength too. Instead of thugs, he was fighting Syntixi and Camille.

  The problem with that though is it end up being the same vibe as fighting thugs because he still ends up physically in the same distress.

  Also, I learned not to suddenly add too much drama or make the MC too distressed lol. That's not what everyone came for (well, maybe some).

  People came inally for the cast of Are.

  That being said: that's also my reason to just use a prison time-skip t us baore Are-grounded FF and using Are's method of moving time.

  I think at this point, while I still enjoy writing this, I'm also going to use this FF to grow for the League of Legends show. That way, I take all my mistakes and create a better fanfi.

  If it is in Noxus, most likely the MC for that would be some SI gdiator-type stuff. idk, depends on what they do.

  Or keep Orion going into that show, if the timeline allows it.

  Summary:

  Larger chapter either today or tomorrow to hit off this new arc, hopefully better with mistakes learhe focus will be brought back to Are.

  ents, questions, critiques, s?
