Hello all.

Before you stone me to death, I have a few things to say.

First and foremost, I did read the list of things you're not supposed to do when I joined this site, and I realize that updating a chapter with non-stories such as author's notes (which is what this could be classified as) is not allowed.

I'm bending the rules, and this is my 'story':

Once upon a time when I was in grade eight, I was introduced to Artemis Fowl. You can imagine my exhilaration, as I was immediately hooked. I read all six of the books, taking my time, in a total of about 5 or six months I believe (Time Paradox didn't come out until later). For two years I waited patiently for when the Atlantis Complex would come out. When it finally did I was on my annual camping trip with my family. I made my parents drive me all the way to the nearest book store so that I could buy it the day it came out in Canada. I'm ashamed to say this, but I haven't finished it.

It's been sitting on my bookshelf for the past year, collecting dust, with bookmark paused mid page. Why? It's painful to admit it, but I was bored. I was bored with the characters that I knew off by heart, bored with my single obsession for the past two years; bored with my favourite book series. Heartbroken, I stopped reading for a while. I stopped writing for a long time. I realized I needed change, so I changed. I made a completely different set of friends, put heavy amounts of time into my sport, changed my clothing style, taste in music, got a job, and put together a few more pieces of my big picture. More importantly to you lovely people, I started to read different, darker books. The kind of books that would be classified as horror movies, were they to be portrayed outside of my mind. So let me share a secret.

Artemis Fowl is not a horror story series.

Therefore, it's not my style anymore. I've grown up. I'm going into my eleventh grade this September, no longer as the eighth grader bookworm, but as a mature almost-adult. I'm making plans for my future, and taking much heavier classes than the people just cruising through high school. I'm still a bookworm, just not an Artemis Fowl bookworm. That just happens to be essential to my membership of this site.

However, there is nothing that I dislike more than a hypocrite. Not finishing this story would be doubly hypocritical because I would be being a hypocrite about being a hypocrite; or something along those lines. I cannot finish it myself though.

You see, I was in love with Artemis Fowl the last time I posted something on this site. Every time I posted something, I did it with immense love and care. My writing style has changed since then, and I see the countless errors in my ways – enriched English has done me well. More so on topic, I want this story to be finished by someone who loves Artemis Fowl as much as I did back then.

So, I'm putting my stories up for adoption. Not leaving it abandoned on the front steps of the agency, though. I will visit, and nurture. I just know right now that someone else could give these stories more love than I ever could again.

I've had my email disconnected from this site for the past year, but for the next two weeks I will keep it open so that should any of you PM me in regards to one of my stories, I will respond. After that, I really need to start studying for next year, and there's summer life to be lived. I will be satisfied that I've tried even if no one responds, and in two weeks I'll post the status of the situation on my profile, along with on this story.

This is mainly for the people that read Unexpected. I once read a story on this site that kept me up until dawn with the covers over my head. That story never did get finished. I'm trying to take some initiative here, but I can't do it alone. You should know how to PM me. If you have any questions, or even just want to say hey, it's open. I'll respond, pinky swear.

Until then, stay classy.
