To begin, I would like to apologize.

This story is my most successful one on this site. I feel horrible for abandoning it and my readers by extension for so long. But college, life, loss of interest, and my own laziness has kept me from working on it. For that, I am sorry.

That being said, I recently rediscovered my love of One Piece and its fandom! It has inspired me to do what I said I was going to do a million years ago- I've began massive edits and rewrites to clean up dialogue, plot, and the like in order to make this a better story. I like to think I've improved since I first began TRD, and I want it to be the best it can be. I have already re-written the prologue and will be posting it soon!

However, that's another thing. While I will be continuing this, I will not be doing so on this website. I have an account on AO3 now, and I find I like its formatting better than this site's. All updated material and future chapters will, from this point on, be on AO3 under the username TheOtakuWithHazelEyes. I will also start posting chapters of Before Dawn on there as well.

Thank you all for having been so patient with me! This process will be slow-going (as I still have college to worry about), but I want to see it through! This was my first truly great story and I don't want to see it die! Not when it's made so many people happy!

Hope to see you all soon,

The Otaku With Hazel Eyes (Formerly X-Chick303)
