Author's Note:

I try not to have too many of these within the story, but I wanted to share how this story came to me. If you don't care, that's okay, I probably wouldn't read an entire chapter devoted to an A/N either. But I'll try and keep it short.

This story has been a muse of mine for quite some time. I started it as a challenge piece to the song 'Sober' by Kelly Clarkson, but as the ideas developed I realized this was going to be much longer than a one-shot song fic. The lyrics will be embedded throughout the story as it transforms. Normally I don't input the lyrics, but I felt they fit where they were put in.

Now, I have finished the first third or so of the story, and have the basic plot of the rest of it planned out. Some chapters may be shorter, some may be lengthy, but the story in itself is quite long.

Finally, I had posted this story before, but after getting into it again I have changed quite a few of the details and made it more progressive. If you have any questions or criticism please let me know, I'll do what I can.

From this point on, the only A/N's that will make their way into the story will be in response to specific reviews that I feel everyone needs to be aware of. And on that point, I will respond to all reviews, even if all you say is, "Like the Chappy!"

Thank you for your wonderful support throughout the years,
