Hi, everyone. I'm sorry, this really isn't another chapter but just an update.
This is long overdue, a little more than a year overdue, to be honest. I first started this story with no real intentions of going anywhere big with it; I just wanted to show my love for joanlock and contribute the only way I could. I would've never guessed that my fic would gain more than 150 followers, over 50 comments, and more than 37,000 views. This fic really helped me boost my confidence in writing and it is something that I am proud of, even though I write much more than several hundred words per chapter for a fic now. I want to formally say thank you all for reading, liking, following, and commenting on my fic. It means so much to me that anyone would take their time to do any of those things, and even now I get that odd email or two about someone liking or following or commenting on my fic (which is actually why I decided to post this).
Now for the actual reason why I'm posting this. If you haven't noticed by now, I haven't updated this fic since a year ago. I truly do feel terrible about that; I know what's it's like to wait for a fic to update even though you know it probably won't. I want to officially say that this fic is on indefinite hiatus. It's just that my interests have changed drastically and I've started writing for another fandom (more specifically, I started writing for the Korean bands I like). It's not that I don't like Elementary or joanlock anymore; I still do, especially with season three going on. I just... don't feel the same way about it as I used to. I'm not as connected to Elementary as I was the time I wrote the first chapter to this fic. This isn't me saying that I will never update this fic and that it's discontinued. There may be a day where I feel like reminiscing and I decide to start writing for Elementary again. But, until that day comes, I won't be updating this fic. Personally, I don't think I left you guys off on a cliffhanger or anything, but since I myself have this small hope that I will finish this fic one day, I won't be telling you guys where I was headed with this fic (sorry!). I'm fairly sure though that if I ever restart this fic, I'll start with rewriting the entire fic, considering the fact that my writing style has changed a lot and I can write much more than I used to be able to.
...And that's it, I think. If you didn't read my long speech at the top, all I pretty much say is that this fic is on indefinite hiatus. Thank you again, my wonderful readers, for loving my fic as much as I loved writing it. If anyone has anything they want to ask me, you can PM me or send me an ask on my tumblr, robotkeychain.
