*sigh* I sort of guessed that it would end like this.
A lot sounded fishy, beginning from your inside source (sorry, that sounded TOO good to be true) over the fact that Dorumon was going to be used (I believe that Toei won't "recycle" old Chosen Digimon, and Dorumon is already in that new Manga (Chronicles?).), up to the things Lord Archive pointed out. Your excuses for the trip-ups had been believable (we're all human, after all), but still weak, considering that you supposedly had first-hand info there.
Then the plot outline. Hmmm... It sounded promising and believable. But I haven't forgotten that you ARE a skilled author, so thinking up of original characters and a new set of enemies is basically in your job description. ;)
Big thumb-up there, though. The characters sounded genuine at first (even though I still have trouble with the fact that one Chosen was supposed to come from Redmond, home of Microsoft... *shudders* :P), but you gave them almost too much background information. Practically nothing had been known about Chosen Kids before the Seasons started in the past. Especially not BEFORE the official announcements had been made.
So far, so good. Now for the hard part.
A lot of people have had high hopes thanks to your "inside source", and once they catch up with this thread, those people will be bitterly disappointed. Maybe it would have been better if you had revealed the truth in the first thread weeks ago.
On the other hand, it was interesting to watch the situation evolve. It had been quite an experience to see how people (including me, of course) react to "confirmed" information like that. I've seen denial, open acceptance, doubt, and even fear both here and in the DHZ thread that pointed to your site.
You have given us a possible scenario for a new season, and you have managed to silence all those unconfirmed rumors that had sufaced for a while. Maybe I should thank you for that. Actually... scratch the "Maybe". All those "confirmed season 5 info"-yapping was pretty irritating.
