Locks of Ebony and Gold

by thepeacockandthebutterfly

Seven magical stones, each one with their own hidden powers. One man, driven to own them all. One girl, ripped from her family because of a special plant. One boy, a prince who will rescue her from her tower. And the Guardian who gives them powers they never expected. Rapunzel AU.

6. Blackout

I'm sorry, I know it's been awhile since last updating. (Also, I missed the anniversary of creating this account :( ugh) Life's been tough and there's been a lot for me to do plus my best friend's father was killed in a car accident about 5 days ago, so I've been supporting her a lot and trying to help her family.

I love you all and thanks for waiting.

However, this is not an update, instead I am letting you know that I will be on hiatus until July 15th as part of the Miraculous Content Creator Blackout. That's why I didn't post the latest chapter yesterday, but I also forgot to post this notice yesterday (whoops).

Basically this blackout is a protest for ML authors/artists/etc who have been having their works reposted, copied, or stolen. Several prominent and talented creators have even decided to leave the fandom and stop creating new works because of the theft that's been going on. They don't have any way to stop the theft, either!

I haven't personally experienced that kind of theft, but it is a reality and something that I DO NOT support!

This blackout is intended to spread awareness, so please let someone know or send a message to me if you see stolen work on any databases. Contact authors if you see something suspicious, let them know so that they can report it!

We want creators to keep on creating.

Everyone loves looking at the artwork, reading the writing, watching the videos made by these talented ML creators.

But don't worry, I'll make sure to post a chapter on the 15th for all of you!

Sorry again for the wait, but this is something I firmly believe in. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Thank you all for the love and support and patience.
