The Obligatory Note, From an Author who Hasn't Updated in Years...

So… I see this story hasn't been updated since… July 22, 2008, apparently. What's up with that?

Well, a lot of things, truth be told. But I doubt you're in anyway interested in them, huh? Don't worry - I won't bore you. Just know that I had my reasons... and more importantly, that I'm back with a strong interest in this story. =3

So, without further ado… I present to you…

An entirely new story!

What….?

Just kidding. It's A La Claire Fontaine. Only this time (ironically enough, if you were aware that 'A La Claire Fontaine' means 'At the Clear Fountain'), it's called Those Who Play With Fire.

That is not to say that its old title was not fitting. It is definitely still fitting. But I want to give the story a bit of a fresh breath of air for its second little jaunt around the block, if you understand me. :)

I'm also going to take a little time in posting the chapters, despite the fact that the story is almost entirely written (lots of it is even already uploaded here, just not posted). And that's mostly just to keep my sanity, while I try and perfect it a little more. It's my baby, after all, and I want to do it justice this time.

So I know what you're thinking... if you're posting the chapters slowly, starting from Chapter 1... I won't have to read it in weeks. That's not entirely true. The re-written chapters (especially 3 - and the prologue which didn't even exist in the old version) are completely redone. The ending has changed a little since the original posting, and the new chapters reflect those changes. :) But it's your choice. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to jump straight into the new stuff, though the pacing is quite different.

Anyway... without further ado... go read the sparkly, new prologue!
