I...wha?

What were your reasons for doing your rewrite, besides the negative points of canon? I'm just curious.

Hello!

Initially, I was inspired due to my main blog's 'mha critical' posts. As I started evaluating MHA with a more objective and critical eye, I began noticing more and more areas that needed significant improvement.

It was never about writing a better story than Horikoshi, (though I do want to achieve that), but about writing a satisfying story for myself and mamy other fans who were disappointed by the writing.

I've said as much in a post on my main blog, but the biggest critique I have about MHA is how Horikoshi is really good at setting things up, but falls flat on the execution.

My rewrite will take those set-ups, and I will do my best to execute them properly, with hopefully satisfying results. Or maybe unsatisfying if I intend it to be.

While spite-writing can be good for fics such as vents-fics or bashing-fics, I prefer to go into these kinds of fics with a more open mind. Rather than focusing on being better than MHA or Horikoshi, I focus on writing the story I would enjoy.

I think everything culminated both when the ending came out and it was one of the worst endings I've ever read, and seeing many other rewrite blogs surfacing, such as @rewrittenmha and @anartisicandautisticstararcher's Rewritten Sparks AU. It inspired me to write my own.

Thanks for the ask!
