Funny how old fandoms resurface.

I don't know if a lot of my current flist people would know that I was once in an old fandom, Xiaolin Showdown. (You're more than welcome to google it and later laugh at me. I only joined it for one character, Chase Young, who was the epitome of awesomeness for me until Xanxus came in.)

I started writing a fic for said fandom, and included several original characters. I stopped writing in several years ago. Mainly it was because I stopped being that fandom and I sorta lost my voice for that fic. Now, one day in boredom, I check my old hotmail account, which I mainly used for FF.net purposes. I got an email from a reader. She was actually begging me to go back to it. When she read the fic when it came out, she left a  rabid "I'm fucking married to this character, get your OCs' hands off my man, bitch" kind of review, but now that she re-read it,  she's bummed that I stopped writing it.

The thing is, I would like to get back to it, but I'm rather hesitant about it. Granted, people sent good reviews and many were dissapointed I left it on hiatus. Flawed cannon is heavily flawed when it comes to Xiaolin Showdown. The reason why I began writing it was because I wanted a more mature and meatier story. Seriously, if this story involves Asian cultures, they would NOT use an element system the western world is familar with (fire, water, earth, and air). They would use a system of fire, water, metal, earth and wood. I wanted a stronger backstory to this fandom that had so much potential but was in the end wasted.

Maybe one day I will go back to it. Even though the OCs I mentioned are now in their own seperate RP game I play with Teresa (aka JackSpicer666 on DA), if it wasn't for this fandom, they wouldn't have been created.
