FNaF: Extraordinary's first anniversary is here! If you're wondering what FNaF: Extraordinary is then here it is get back here when you're done reading it!

For those who have read it! Today is the day that I made the first chapter public! Marking the one year anniversary of the fanfic's existence.

This was also supposed to be the moment where I announce the Prequel! FNaF: Extraordinary: Susie's Story! Unfortunately, the prequel is no longer happening... I just felt that personally the story should be left also as it is, and it required no further expansion.

You weren't missing anything, it was just the events leading up to Susie's death and the deaths of the other missing people.

However, The Nightmare animatronics were going to feature at one point. This is because Holly would've taken up the role of the Crying Child in the prequel.

With her older brother, Fritz and his friends (Kenneth, John, and Cassidy) taking up the roles of the bullies.

All of them would get expanded or developed further as the story went on.

Eventually they would stop bullying her by the end just before her and Susie's deaths at the hands of... actually it'd be better if you just read the fic for that info.

The plans for what I wanted the Nightmares to look like is at the start of this post! Speaking of the past! Do I have any regrets with this fic?

Yes! The biggest one is Cassidy's character, she doesn't really develop as a character, only getting worse as the story progresses.
And that's my fault, I wanted a villain, a monster, but in the end I just created a character in desperate need of a hug and some therapy.

A character that I ruthlessly villainized instead of taking the time or opportunity to do a character study/deconstruction. So she just ended up as a stock-standard "mean girl who did something bad and thinks she won't get caught".

I'm not saying she can't be bad, or still do bad things even after she learned her lesson. But I think that as a writer it's important to even have the worst people in your stories reflect every now and then.

Just so the audience can at the very least understand them. I plan on rectifying this in another FNaF story that I'll be writing this year.

So yeah... Thanks for everything!

Some small fun facts about this au:
Fritz's design and character is based of TF G1 Wheeljack and the Engineer from TF2.
Circus Baby and the other Funtimes were supposed to make an appearance but them and remnant were ultimately scrapped in favor of a blood based magic system.
Charlie and Cassidy were supposed to be WAY more sadistic than they ended up being.
I wanted there to be more references to the Transformers franchise than the two at the end of the story.
Elizabeth was supposed to find out that she wasn't the only witch in the world.
There wasn't supposed to be a Nightmare Freddy in the prequel, Nightmare Fredbear would be in that role.
Nightmare was last thing Holly saw before she died.
There's a reason Nightmare looks like Lefty ;)

Nightmare animatronics and the humans they represent: Foxy-Fritz
Fredbear-Kenneth
Chica-Cassidy
Bonnie-John
Nightmare-Shhh... No spoilers, go read the fic. ;)

And with that I say: Goodbye for now, I'll be back soon!!! (I have stuff to work on)
