Well, it's been while, my dear followers. I don't know how many of you are still out there or how many of you will bother reading this, but I want you to know that I love each and every one of you for giving me the confidence to get my writing off the ground. It'll be almost a year since my last update soon, and I think it's about time that I admit to myself and others that I'm never going to finish writing this story. But I want you all to know that it pains me greatly to confess this. Tara has established a place in my heart, along with the other original characters that I have come to know so well.

This story is incredibly fleshed out and I don't want it to rot in my head, nor do I want the conclusion to it to be a mystery to all of you. That's why I will let anybody who would like to take over The Stowaway do so, but you must contact me so I can tell you all you need to know. If no one contacts me by the first of March, then I will post a chapter containing every write-ahead I ever wrote (and believe me, there are tons) along with the plot details for the rest of The Stowaway and its planned sequel, The Outcasts.

I cannot express the love, gratitude, and pain I feel as I make this decision enough with the words I am writing right now. All I can say I have already said, yet it doesn't feel the least bit sufficient. Thank you.
