I think this is ok?

The only long fanfic I ever wrote was supposed to be about 9000 words total. I started posting chapters thinking I had a good general idea of what was going to happen -- and it got away from me almost instantly and turned into a 100K beast. If I hadn't posted it as a WIP, I doubt I would have finished it at all. But I'm glad I did. I would say keep writing and see where it goes.

It just feels like I'm writing so randomly. I introduced this twist (a resurrection) and have since been absolutely ignoring it in favor of something else that I think is really going to be the bulk of the story. Only now Character A is not dead. Even though she was in my story, it's not like I just never had her be killed off.

Do you want to bring the twist / Resurrected A back into the story, or drop it and move on?

It's possible to do either one and still end up with a generally good story, I think.

I mean, I like the idea of bringing her back into the story, I just...don't really have a role for her to play in the part I'm most interested in right now. I don't know how she's back, why she's back,if her being back relates to the other plot, or if it's just "meanwhile, Character A isn't dead!"

I guess the cool thing about this plot twist, to me, is that the other characters don't know the answers to those questions, either. So her reappearance is a complicating factor for them, too. Do they know she's back yet? How do they find out? How surprising is it -- is this a canon where resurrections happen from time to time, or is this the first one we know about? Do they even have time to think about it right now, or not? It seems like this could pull the story in an interesting direction without necessarily taking away from the part you're most interested in.

But! I don't want to make too many assumptions about the story you want to write, either! Maybe the best thing to do would be just to allow yourself an extra week or two to write and plot, before you update again.
