A/N- Hey everyone who was waiting for an update to this story! I have finally been bitten by the writing bug and have worked up the motivation to get a good story done. As compared to my previous attempt at this story, my new plans actually have a plot line and character development and depth (or I hope it seems that way at least). All of my old stories seem really juvenile now, which I suppose is appropriate since I wrote most of them in junior high, and early high school. I have thoroughly planned out my characters and the plot this time with a distinctive beginning, middle, and end (9 pages in Microsoft Word to prove that!). I am also trying to stay away from typical fandom character personalities and plot ideas, but I won't say that I will not fall prey to a few. I hope it is obvious that my writing is more advanced and mature once I get this story out. As of right now I am looking at 12 chapters for this story, but I can almost guarantee there will be more than that. I still have a bit of tweaking to do as to what each chapter will contain. I want to get the bulk of this story done before I go back to college in the fall, but I can't promise anything. (Writers have lives to lead, just like readers do! ;)

The summary of the story is pretty accurate. I am going to be loosely basing this story on Cinderella (there is a kind of evil Aunt and a bossy cousin planned), but there is going to be a bit of a divergence from that plot in some major ways. It takes place in the late 18th or early 19th century, and may have some Jane Austen influences. Elizabeth is jaded toward love, and the series of events and situations she is put in during her 19th year have a major impact on her opinions of love. The story might start off kind of slow with character and setting development, but I hope this A/N intrigues all of you readers! This will be removed once I get my first chapter typed (which I hope will be within the next couple of days). I apologize to any readers who put my other version of this story on authors alert or their favorites list and were hoping for that one to continue. I hope this new version interests you, otherwise I am sorry.

Hopefully you will see an actual chapter here in a few days!
