Lizzie: Sorry that I have to put this up. But, it's a dreaded authors note... -dun dun duuuuuuuuuuun-

Charlotte: Stop being so dramatic.

Lizzie: -pout- Ruin all my fun why don't you? Anyway, first off, I can reassure you I am NOT discontinuing this story.

Charlotte: I'll make sure that she doesn't!

Lizzie: Yeah, anyway... This is just to say updates will be a lot slower starting about now. And I have several reasons for this.

Charlotte: One is that I've recently moved into her house, and it's made things chaotic.

Lizzie: And you moving in inspired me to write Taking Care of Me, which will be up soon, I've got it about halfway done.

Charlotte: That was some not so subtle advertising there.

Lizzie: Shut up Charlie! :P Second is that school is starting back in a week, and I really plan to work hard this year.

Charlotte: Especially since she's taking advanced higher chemistry, which would be the equivalent of her first year in university in that subject. You nerd, Lizzie.

Lizzie: Charlotte! Let me delete that!

Charlotte: Never! You need to learn to stop being embarrassed about that!

Lizzie: Fine, fine... Third reason is that my sister is getting married, and we are quite busy planning that.

Charlotte: -hums wedding tune-

Lizzie: XD Also, this has to do with the main reason I started to seriously write fanfiction. It's not because Sarah-chan gave me the challenge, she meant that as a joke really, but because my grandad had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. ;_;

Charlotte: -wraps arm around Lizzie-

Lizzie: While many people would stop writing fanfiction because of that, fanfiction provided a distraction so I wouldn't have to think about it too often. It was my way of dealing with it. But now that schools coming back up, I've got something else to devote my mind to. Meaning I wont be spending nearly as much time writing or reading fanfiction.

Charlotte: So that's Lizzie's reasons that she's going to be much slower on the updates now.

Lizzie: Yup, pretty much. That doesn't mean though that this isn't going to be updated, it just means you're going to have to wait a while longer for the updates.

Charlotte: So please don't bug her too badly for updates. She's doing the best she can to keep writing!

Lizzie: I'm sorry that updates are going to be slower. I'll still update as often as I can!
