To my very dearest readers and fans,

I am writing to you with a rather grave and heavy heart. I know what I am to say will cause quite a panic amongst you, but please understand that doing this hurts me just as much as it will hurt you. For personal reasons that I will let you in on, I am giving up most of my fanfiction writing, and putting up "Even When he Smiles" and "Death Backwards spells Life" for adoption, and will give them to people(s) of my very own choosing.

Now, I promise that I will finish my fiction I have going with Angelfeatherwriter ("Cancer"). And like a said, I'm going to let you in on as to why this is coming about.

Not all too long ago, about several months to be exact, my dad happened to find my old fanfiction profile. Results were horrible at best, and he had me shut it down. Secretly though, I made a new profile and hid it from him. Now, over these past months, I've made many new fictions and have made many new fans and friends…but guilt of lying has gotten the best of me.

I know many of you will say "Screw your dad, the stuff you write isn't "wrong" (which is what he called it)", but I feel horrible for lying to him. Many of you will probably know the happiness that courses through you when someone reviews your story and says they like what you've written. Every time that happened to me I would feel that happiness, but this fear of him finding my profile and this guilt of how disappointed he would be in me if he did find it filled me up as well. So, I want to stop being afraid and I want to stop feeling guilty, and I will wait it out until I go to college. Until then, you may not see a whole bunch of me, and I will let my fictions go into the possession of people I deem "good hands" and I will watch them grow and flourish.

As for the adoptions of these fics, once I have chosen someone, I will give them my password to my profile so they may update it from there and still keep whatever reviews that are there intact. I will also explain to these chosen people how I had originally hoped that these fics would progress.

Thank you for taking the time to read this notice and if any of you have questions, do not hesitate to either PM me or leave a comment/review on any of my stories…

Sincerely,

AppleCoreCandyBox
