Hey guys. I have a major announcement to make concerning my time here on this fine website.

I am retiring.

Now before you raise the pitchforks and torches at me, let me explain. I am not leaving the website. I will remain and continue to read stories, as well as beta-read. But I will no longer be writing any more stories. I may occasionally produce a one-shot every once in a while, but all of my current stories are being discontinued. Now let me tell you why.

Recently, I took stock of my life, especially about where it was going. I realized that I needed to make some changes, and fan fiction was one of them. I can't keep producing it like it's a job, otherwise I will lose sight of what is really important for me. There are things I need to do, and I can't keep doing this. So, I am stopping. But before I end, I do want to say one thing.

You guys rock. Thank you so much, for all the love and support. In three years and 23 stories, I only ever received one flame review. The rest have been encouraging, supporting, and constructively critiqueing. I appreciate that, and I love you guys so much for it.

Now, having said that, I now need to address what will happen to my current fics. They are all up for adoption to anyone who wants them. Just let me know, and they're yours.

Hand In Hand: This started out as a decent story, and I had some relatively great things planned for it. It quickly degenerated into porn. Into yuri porn at that. I got rid of two of the main(male) characters just so I could write some hentai. Honestly, I'm a little disgusted with myself. I haven't finished the last few chapters, and I don't plan to. However, if anyone wants it, have at it. It's yours.

SPIDER-MAN: Ultimatum: This was my baby last year, which fizzled out because of virtually no support for it. I loved it, and I would have loved to finish it. But alas, it was not to be. It is basically a retelling of Spider-Man from Civil War to Superior Spider-Man. I had several arcs planned for after Grim Hunt(which is where I stopped), so if anyone wants it, let me know.

ARKHAM WEB: Origins: Gah, I love this one. Especially since I introduced Peter's love interest, which was Talia Al Ghul, by the way. Her story was that she pretends to be a lowly assassin so that she can escape the life that her father has laid out for her. Origins was going to end more or less the same way as the game, with the exception of Deadpool's involvement, Spider-Man and Batman teaming up after Royal Hotel, and Deathstroke helping them at Blackgate. The sequel, set in Arkham City, would have been much different from the game. Norman Osborne would have been the big baddie behind Strange, and Venom would have supplied the cure for the TITAN disease.

Road Trip: This was supposed to be the sequel to Chauffeur, my most popular story ever. However, I decided not to pursue it. It's up for grabs as well. It's mainly comedic crap.

MARVEL: Night Of Requiem: My AU, which is also one of my favorite stories. I'd love to finish it, but alas. Here's how it would have gone down. Ben Parker(Reilly) would have shown up, suffering from memory loss. Peter takes him in, trying to help him out. They all think he killed Fury, but they don't blame him for it, as he was under Hydra brainwashing at the time. Sharon Carter restarts S.H.I.E.L.D., but Steve Rogers doesn't like the direction she's taking it in. He takes the remaining Level Tens and calls them "Avengers," to deal with the Hand and Hydra, remembering Fury's death. Turns out, Fury was killed by Peter and Ben's older brother, Richard Parker II, who has adopted their father's code name: Kaine. He is suffering from cellular degeneration due to side effects from S3. He kills Silver Sable. Peter kills him, but realizes that he needs to change. He joins the Avengers, proposing to Natasha on the spot, determined never to waste another moment again. She accepts. I wasn't sure how the whole World War Three thing was going to turn out, but hey, that's up to you guys.

Supernatural: Black Hunter: This was intended to by the sequel to Black Butler: His Butler, Supernatural. I never started it, but hey, once again... it's up for grabs.

Ultimate Teen Titans: And here we are. My favorite fan fiction series of all time. Hopefully, some of you feel the same way. I put this one up for adoption before, but returned. Not so this time. I know I pissed some of you off with the reboot, but hey, now the torch passes to you. You don't even need to continue the series, just write stories based in this universe. I'd love to see it continued(and for Peter and Raven to get back together!).

Once again, I am sorry, and I thank you. All of you. You made it so worth it. I hope that some of you will take the torch I pass, and continue on. And if I think of any good challenges, I'll post them to my profile. But once again, and for the last time...

Thank you, and good night.
