Dear Readers,
Thank you so much for taking the time to ever put this on your alerts or even deeming it worthy of picking up. I wrote this fic a long time ago when I was much younger and in a much different place in my writing style. Whilst there are some of my fics I will never truly give up (any readers of ANBU Elements will be relieved to hear I refuse to abandon that), this fic is unfortunately not one of them.
If you've forgotten ever putting this fic on your alerts, that's probably for the best, don't go back and read what you liked years ago, I often find that's a bad mistake.
But recently, I have been receiving requests for adoption and whatnot. As such, this is a blanket permission to any readers, please feel free to use this story as your own, you can take it as it is, rewrite it or use any ideas including my OCs. The only thing I can not permit is the usage of any characters introduced in Meet The Genin as they are not mine as stated in the previous author's note. If you do this, feel free to let me know, and I would also appreciate a brief note of credit at some point for the original idea, otherwise have at it.
Thank you for ever giving the time of day to such an awful fic and I am sorry to do the ultimate betrayal by abandoning it, but I tried to deny this for five years before accepting that not even pain of death could probably make me want to write this story again.
June
