Dear readers,
I sincerely apologize if you got excited when you saw the "new chapter" alert in your in-boxes, or if you are a new reader, when you clicked the "next chapter" button. Sadly, this is not a new chapter, but rather a waving of the proverbial white flag. My real life has become ridiculously chaotic, in both good ways and bad, but chaotic nonetheless. Needless to say, that has left me with no time to write, - let alone read - fanfiction. I haven't written anything down in over eight months, which kills me to say.
I'm posting this "chapter" here for all the new readers who will be happily clicking along, not knowing that the story is over for now. I get a lot of messages asking when I'll be updating, and it pains me to message them back saying that I honestly don't know. It could be in week, it could be in three years. I truly don't know when I'll have free time again to write. So I'll have this "On Temporary Hiatus" notice up until I find the time to finish the story.
I can say with perfect clarity that I will finish this story, just that I don't know when. But I will. One day. And when I do, I will remove this notice and replace it with the rightful chapter. The one you guys wanted to see.
To all the friends and people I have met and made here in the FF world, I will deeply miss you while I'm gone. I have missed you all like crazy. I never knew how much reading and writing fanfiction had meant to me until I didn't have it anymore.
Thank you all so much for your love and support. It has meant the world to me. And I will happily await the day when I can return to being a part of the FF family once more!
Until then,
- Natalia.
