Dear Potential Readers,

First, I want to apologize for those of you who get an alert that this story was updated thinking that it was a brand new chapter. Unfortunately, this is not a new chapter of the Fic.

Rather, I wanted to use this time to explain why it has taken me so long to finish this story, a story that I started six years ago and meant to finish six years ago.

Some real world events have happened in six years that has forced me to not prioritize finishing this story. When I started this story, I was in college and in my twenties. I was the same age as the characters were in my original concept and the time that this story was set was pretty recent (2006) at the time I published the prologue and my previous one-shot fic. Since then, I finished college, applied and was admitted to law school, took the bar exam, and am now a working attorney in my early thirties. Because I kept putting this fic off for so long, I am finding that I am having difficulty getting back into the right mindset to immerse myself in 2006 (ten years ago!) and to get back into my mid-twenties.

That said, not finishing this fic has been a really big disappointment to me, and I would love to finish it and provide chapters that were much better than the product I provided in chapter 3 which I felt was rushed, in bad need of editing, and derivative of other sources. I may decide to re-do chapter 3, but now I'm going a bit off-tangent.

However, I am not sure if many readers are still interested in this fiction and I'd like to ask that the readers out there, if there are still any, to either message or "review" this chapter and let me know if they would still be interested in reading this fic. I'd like to gauge if there is still interest left in this Fic. I would not want to continue doing this if nobody is really interested in reading it as it will take a huge chunk of my time and energy on my off-days to provide higher-quality stories at a quicker pace.

So please let me know. You may also contact me through PM if you are so inclined to do so regarding this story.

Best,

S.T. Le
