Salutations!

I apologize that you've had to wait so long to hear word from me. I've always hated reading those stories where the author posts "RL got in the way" or other such things. Real life sucks. Indeed. However my issue was that the plot bunnies for this story kind of ran away, or went to hide in their burrows or something. They left me kind of high and dry. Someone complained that the story pace was too slow (which it may well continue in that fashion) and I realized that I didn't know where it was going. The lovley Janara ( u/472569/Janara) never did get back to me but she is back and writing. I urge you to read her veela story even as it is now, it's fantastic!

While trying to figure out my own story I ran into some original ideas and then tried to figure out if I should post them in this story or not. I still haven't quite decided but I'd love to listen to your imput. It would drive this story MUCH much further into AU than it already is (being a Drarry fic kind of makes it one already even if you didn't count things like matebonds and such). I'm going to post a revamped "prologue" as a new story entitled "Mates and Princes: Redux" as it is likely that I will scrap the current version of this story. I will keep it's essense of course but there are some characterizations that I'd like to change in order to make my "point" (which sadly is not a plot...rawr..)

Any ideas or encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to those of you who have added my story to their favorites and followed me. I hope this rebirth of mates and princes meets with your expectations. So go over and have a read. Let me know what you think. PRETTY pretty please?!

Thank you all so much!

always
