Greetings, dear No Choice readers,

Well, I'm back.

It's been months since I've updated this story, as I'm sure you know. I've spent the past few weeks trying to figure out why I stopped writing it in the first place, and I decided it was because I didn't quite like it. Not the concept, because I loved the concept – not to toot my own horn, mind you – but rather the way I wrote it. I like to think that I've grown as a writer since I started No Choice, so what I'm going to is rewrite the whole thing, and hopefully I can find a way around this massive writers' block.

I'd like to apologize, to each and every single one of you who read and reviewed, and everyone who grew frustrated with me for not updating and then putting the whole thing on hold indefinitely. I hope you guys can forgive me, and maybe even find a way to enjoy No Choice v2.0. You'll find there's a whole lot of similarities; there were lines or entire passages that I carried over to the rewrites because I liked them. The main plot will not change at all, I assure you, merely how the story is written.

In a couple of days I'm going to delete all the chapters I have posted so far and make this note the opening chapter of No Choice v2.0. After that, I'll start posting the rewrites and take it from there.

Thanks to all of you who stuck by me, and I hope I can find a way to make up for all the kindness you have shown me.

Here it goes.

Sincerely,

Pers

Alright! Here it is; here we go.

As I said before, some things are different, some things are not.

I hope that whatever it was that drew each of you to this story in the first place hasn't been lost, that it still speaks to you in whatever way it did all those months ago when I started it. I like to think that the things I've changed have all been for the better, but I'm not perceptive nor proud enough to seriously think so.

Reviews, comments, constructive criticism and any other thoughts you guys are willing to share with me are all appreciated.

The first chapter of the second version of No Choice will be up shortly, so the wait is all but over.

Thanks, once again, to each and every single one of you who stuck by me. I hope this is an adequate first step towards making it up to all you kind souls.

All my love,

Pers
