Hello Guys,

Now, I don't know how to start this because I promised myself I would never have to do this. But I am, and I don't know what to say. If anyone is still reading my story I am very sorry that I have took so long to publish a chapter, but this is probably the last chapter I'll ever post to this story, because…

I am officially cancelling Broken World.

I know, I promised all of you I would never cancel it, that I would keep on chugging through until I reached the end of the season. But I can't, and there are a lot of reasons. If you don't want to see those reasons, then you can just skip them, but please read them so you understand why I'm doing this.

I just had no idea where the story was going. I tried to plan out everything in my head, but I just had no idea what to do and what was going on. Everyone sent me these amazing submissions, but I had no idea what to really do with them. All of the characters were so complex and interesting, but my writing at the time never really captured their true potential, and I'm sorry for that.

My real-world life has been quite busy. I've been trying to juggle my school, friends, family, and my writing all at the same time, I've never been a super organized person, but I was really trying, but as you can see with my updates for this story, maybe not hard enough. I would be inactive for months, just because I was doing something else, and I felt really bad leaving you guys for so long with nothing. I just didn't know how to balance my time correctly.

I lost interest. I have to be honest. It was all fun at first, and this was my first SYOT. I was so excited to start it. But like everything in this world. I lost interest. It's particular my fault, considering I never put any thought into it, but still. I soon lost interest with zombies, and the walking dead in general, and after looking into other things, I kind of forgot about the story. I loved all the characters you guys sent me, don't get me wrong, nothing was wrong with them and they didn't force me to quit the story because of it, I think it was just because of me, not really taking care of anything, and Ii regret that.

I just had so much pressure on me. I had no idea what anyone was thinking outside of reviews, and I worried every night if I was doing anything right. I am a super sensitive person, and I just would die at the idea of someone thinking everything I do is trash. I do like constructive criticism, but even that got scary, I just didn't like knowing I was doing things wrong. I've improved now, but I think I couldn't keep up with the demand of the story.

Guys, if you are still reading this, I am so sorry I decided to end this. Trust me it was not an easy decision, this story, is a relic for me, it's the first time I did an SYOT, with people actually PMing me all day with their characters, it was really great. But some things can't last forever, and I'm sorry I couldn't keep this up longer.

Before you all leave, I do have one more surprise for you. I didn't just want to end this with nothing ever being found out, and since I canceled this story, I guess I should reveal the characters fates, it's the right thing to do, I think. I hope you guys like it.

Emily - Emily would have survived, all the way up to season 2, episode 5, where I planned on her dying by being attacked by the villain and killing him, before she bled out herself. She would have died at age 19, and would have been great friends with Nick. She would finally confess her feelings to Connor when he reappeared in the story.

Conner – Conner would have survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. I planned for him to come back in season 1, episode 4, as a member of an evil group, just so he can get back to Emily. After the final fight and Emily is killed, Conner would have taken a bunch of survivors and make a new community. Conner would have been the leader for the new group after season 2.

Shane – I planned on keeping Shane alive, up until season 2, episode 5, where he would have died during the final attack, shot in the back by one of the members. He would die grabbing a grenade and exploding the area he was in. I planned on him being really good friends with Taylor

Rebecca – Rebecca would have survived up until season 2, episode 1, where I planned on her dying from a walker bite, and she would sacrifice herself to let the others escape. She would have been great friends with Emily, Nick, and Shane. I also planned on giving her a fake out death in season 1 episode 3.

Nick – Nick would have survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. Nick would have been the back bone of the group, trying to save and take care of everyone. I also planned on Nick having romantic feelings for Emily, but understandably, backing off when Connor made a re appearance, causing some tension between them. Once Emily died, Nick would have joined Connor in the new group.

Taylor – Taylor would have survived until season 2, episode 2, where she would have died from a walker bite that she didn't tell the group about. She would give Alice one last hug before walking into the woods and shooting herself in the head. I planned on her becoming good friends with Shane and Richard.

Alice – Alice would have (obviously) survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. She would have learned how to defend herself, and how to be an adult. When her mother died, she would have become really depressed and hardened. I planned on he having a good friendship with Richard, since he was really caring and nice to her. She would have joined Conner in the new group.

Josh – Josh would have survived up until season 1, episode 4, where I planned on him getting shot in the head by one of the gangs that were chasing them. Before this however, he would try and patch things up with Lewis.

Lewis – Lewis would have survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. I planned on him having this whole redemption arc after being an asshole to his dad for so long. When his dad died, he would help Emily and the other survivors take down the group. He would have lived in the new group at the end of Season 2 with Connor.

Sophie – I planned on Sophie surviving up until season 2, episode 4, where I planned on her leaving the group before the final fight, not wanting to be a part of the destruction. She would come back though at the end of the season, joining the new group with Connor. The fate of Sophie's family would be left unknown.

Travis – Travis would have survived up until season 2, episode 5, where I planned on him dying from a missile aimed at his truck. He would get his dog out before he died though. I planned on him going on and off the group, not trusting them, but still wanting to help them in some way. Conner and the others would bring his dog to the new group and care for him.

Eli – Eli would have survived up until Season 2, Episode 3, where I planned on him leaving the group, so he could avoid the final battle. He would re appear in a later season 3 if I decided to make one. He would have been really good friends with Nick, Emily, and Connor. I planned on introducing him in season 1, episode 2. (Sorry)

Amelia – Amelia Bea Rousseau would have survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. I would have introduced her in season 1, episode 4. She would have joined Connor in the new group, along with Osbourne, however, they would not stay for long. Leaving 2 weeks after the group was created.

Osbourne – Osbourne Chen would have survived the story, all the way to season 2, episode 5. I would have introduced him in season 1, episode 4. He would have joined Connor in the new group, along with Amelia, however, they would not stay for long. Leaving 2 weeks after the group was created.

Jaymes – Jaymes would have survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. I would have introduced him in season 1 episode 4. He would be really friendly to everyone in the group, and would usually be the person who people talk about their problems with him. He would have joined Conner's new group.

Daisy – Daisy would have survived the story, all the way up to season 2, episode 5. I would have introduced her and James in season 1, episode 3. She would be really close friends with Emily, and be really nice and kind to everyone. She would join Conner's new group, after her boyfriend dies.

James – James would have survived up until season 2, episode 5, where I planned on him saving Daisy from a shotgun bullet. He would die from bleeding out talking to Daisy. He would generally be respectable to everyone, but still cautious, and only joining them if Daisy was there. He would eventually trust them more, and become good friends with Conner.

Donald – Donald would be a villain, all the way from season 1, episode 5, to season 2, episode 4, where Richard and he would have a full-on fight, ending with Richard being victorious. I was planning on Donald to be the first villain they encountered, but I decided to put in Charlie first because why not? He would have stalked the group, and killed a few people.

Richard – Richard would have survived the story, all the way up until season 2, episode 5. Richard would be very kind and nice to everyone, especially Alice, who liked him a lot. He would protect the group no matter what, and have a fight between Donald, and Charlie later. He would take multiple wounds during the fight, but still stay alive. Richard would have joined Conner in the new group.

I know I'm missing quite a few other survivors, so if I missed yours, please PM me if you want to know of there fate.

Again, I'm so sorry I decided to cancel the story, I was trying so hard to write this to completion, but sometimes, you just lose interest. If anyone want's to PM me about the story, then they are happy to do so. I hope you all understand, and again, I'm so sorry.

Take Care
