When Paths Collide

by ObjectiveObserverFromAfar

It was just supposed to be a routine police call, until Officer Melissa Daniels realized she was arresting one Merle Dixon. Little does she know events from hers and the brothers' pasts will intertwine their fates and determine their survival when the dead start walking. *Daryl/OC. Pre- and Post-ZA Dixon's and M for language, violence and sexy times. Starts right before Season 1*

21. Author's Note

Ack! It's the dreaded author's note...I know, I'm terrible. I'm ashamed. But I wanted to reach out because I know it's been 800 years since I updated and I wanted to give an update.

First off...THIS STORY IS NOT ON HIATUS. Like, at all. But then I get a really good story idea and then realize I have three papers left to write for school, and then I'm in a terrible state of cognitive dissonance that just really messes with my mojo...ya know? So, for anyone still reading this..I have a chapter done. I'm planning on updating by tonight or tomorrow.

School this semester has been a bear. I know we say that about every semester, but let's say 20 hours of work + full class load + 13 hour days on campus does not sanity make.

Second...thank you to anyone that has reviewed and messaged me asking me if this story is still going. Your encouragement is making me say "to hell with school, on with the fanfic!". Anyways...thank you. And thank you for reading this, you don't know how much it means to me :)

Okay, look out for an update soon. And thanks for hanging in there peoples. You all are beautiful.
