Hello again!
It's been a while, but I hope you are all well! First, for everyone who's worried: no, I won't be discontinuing the story. Unfortunately though, I do have to make some adjustments to certain chapters because of wattpads upcoming changes.
1: I'm going to remove chapters 10 and 11 and replace them with a quick summary or bullet points for the readers who either find the story here or don't want to read anywhere else. It's not a great solution, but given the broadness of their guidelines I've decided that it is safer to just replace them entirely before the story gets taken down in case I missed a scene they didn't like.
2: I'm going to remove a scene in chapter 26 and replace it with an introductory sequence. This one shouldn't impede the reading experience too much.
3: Chapters 10, 11, 26 and any upcoming ones will be marked with a [Censored] to let readers know that they were changed and don't reflect their original intent.
The remaining chapters should be fine, so I'll be leaving them as they are. If the story gets taken down regardless, then there's nothing I can do.
Given these circumstances, I've decided to upload the story in their uncensored form on ff.net and ao3. It's available on the former (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/15510967/) and I will upload it on the latter as soon as I can register.
Future chapters will be published simultaneously on all three platforms with the wattpad upload possibly censored, depending on the contents.
Let's hope that the next notification from me will be a new chapter!
Take care and stay safe <3

@Kiku_6037 Looking forward to what you're cookin chef.. although the thought of choosing that skank Chie over Sae-sensei is a little lamentable. (I haven't discounted the idea that he is framing Chie rather than Sae though...)

Did you hear about Wattpad planning to remove Mature content from the site?
Kiku_6037
@CJDGOAT Not all mature content, but yes, I'm aware that the guidelines will change and that checkmate can't stay on wattpad the way it's currently written. I'll upload it on alternative sites (probably ff.net and ao3) and will remove the problematic parts here, so that the story can still be found on wattpad, albeit in a censored version. It's not ideal, but it is what it is.

I was listening to Nuvole Bianche just now which reminded me that it was once mentioned in Checkmate and thus here I am checking up on how you're doing.

@Kiku_6037 Law is a tremendous pain in the ass. So, so many cases, I want to unalive myself. IT is a field I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole though. I took computer science in high school and I didn't understand shit lol.
Kiku_6037
@Resident_Playboy It might depend on what you are studying. Law might just be more annoying to learn than IT. I never really had to study either, so I always had a lot of time for the things I wanted to do. Working changed that quite drastically, but that also probably depends on what you are doing and where you are working.
