Special Author's Note
AN:
Hello everyone! Riku here. So, a bunch of you (at least…seven now) have sent me PM's about a fic called 'ANBU team Ro' where a writer named Maki-k is copying my work word for word and only changing the character names. I thank you all for bringing this to my attention. For those of you outraged, thank you but don't be please; I read on his profile that English is not his first language so I sent him a PM asking if he would like to compromise and translate my fics to his home language, while having the power to change the names as he sees fit (yet still link it back to my story every chapter). If he agrees, great. If not, that's his prerogative but I have found that liars don't make it very far, even if there is nothing I can do about it. The sad thing is I rather liked his other fic, 'the grinning fox' and I might have recommended it in my past chapters.
Note, I don't want anyone PMing him and chewing him out. He's a teenager. I'm almost twenty-one so I think I can be the better person here and I hope all of you can too. This means to that one reader that offered to roast him using constant negative PM's…don't. Please, just don't.
On a positive note, I will be uploading the next chapter before Sunday evening Central Standard Time, so look forward to it! That might be the last update until after finals, but I will get chapter 25 done! So, have a great rest of y'all's week and thank you for letting me know!
