Hello, folks. I'm impressed you're even reading this, given that it's been three solid years.
It's been a while since I began this story, and a lot has changed, most of all myself. I was an excited 12 year old kid when I started writing this story in 2012 - now I'm 17 and while I'm still a child in many senses, in other ways I've changed from the person I was when I wrote this in leaps and bounds. Things have changed. New Sherlock episodes have been added, my tastes have changed, I became a better and more thoughtful writer.
So I think it's best that instead of leaving any of you hanging, I'm finally saying it: I'm not going to be continuing this story, unfortunately.
Ebony will always have a place in my heart, but I find I'm in a place where I can't write this story the way I wanted to before. I'm a different person with a different view of these characters and the canon. It's unfair to you to leave you here (although I'm definitely not arrogant enough to assume that any of you are in love with this and have been desperately refreshing your pages in the hopes that I might update this story). As it was, I think I left it off in a decent enough place.
If you do have some questions regarding what was to happen and really want to know, well, PM me and I'll be happy to tell you what I had planned.
(spoiler alert: not much. I was flying by the seat of my pants most of the time. But I did have a couple ideas.)
In the meantime, I do have some stories left to tell that will be somewhat similar to what I tried to do with Kindred Spirits - character driven type stuff without much romance and things. I'll try to get that up for you. Who's to say, when though? I've kind of learned my lesson about making promises like that.
Till the next - and thank you for sticking with this story!
