My Dearest Readers,
To those of you who remember me, and still check back every once in a while to see if anything new has happened, I greatly apologize for the absence. To those of you who are new, or have stumbled across this work now as I am writing this note to you all, welcome.
I apologize for leaving you hanging. I apologize for not solving any problems. The truth is, "Perfection" is based off of my own experiences—my own struggles with depression. When I began writing the story, I had just come from my own personal dive into the deep end, and my recovery was just beginning. As I continued to write over the next year, I seemed to be doing better as I had an outlet in which I could create a world that shared my experiences and what I had been through. Looking back over the last few chapters, it was obvious that life was getting back in the way again, as the updates had become less and less frequent. Eventually, I stopped getting the motivation to write—and for that I'm sorry.
My absence isn't without cause, however. I regret to acknowledge that over the past year I had relapsed again, and have since spent my life trying to move on and get back on my feet. As it seems, I'm finding it harder to do so this time.
With the progression through this recovery, I've also found that I have changed a great deal from the person I was when I began writing this story. Though the experiences that I relinquished through "Perfection" still haunt me, I've come to realize that the vessel in which I had buried them (this being the story you have all read) no longer lends me the same air of release as it once did. In consequence, I've lost the connection with this creation.
It is now with much more than sorrow that I write to you all in the sincerest of apologies. For I have decided with a heavy heart, that I'm going to let this go. I feel, however, that I simply can't leave Stiles and Derek without some sort of ending. Thus, in the coming months I will provide at the very least, one last chapter. I do not know if it will follow the chronology which I have already established or if it will take place in another time. My promise to you all is that you will have an ending by the first of the year. Beyond that... well, that'll be it.
Thank you for your support. Thank you for your feedback. Thank you for your time, your tears, your smiles. Simply thank you. I don't know that I deserve what you have given me.
Until then,
Me.
