A/N: I know, I really hate chapters that are all one great big authors note too, but this one is necessary. This story is all plotted out in my mind (and on paper), and I've spent a great deal of time thinking out the particulars. I plan to continue it and finish soon, but I feel a need to explain the absence of new chapters in the recent past. It's the beginning of spring sports in the state of Michigan, and all my time has been consumed with soccer and band rehersal (we have festival this week). I promise an update this weekend, to all those still reading this story. Thanks for reading!
