Hey everyone, ScarletRoseProdigy here, co-writer of Crystal Lotus. I just wanted to take the time to thank you all for reviewing our story that we're still working quite hard on.

We're sorry for the slow updating but my sister Yuhi Sakura is quite the busy bee lately and I tend to throw myself into my own work so I also want to thank you for being patience with us as we complete it.

However, I do want to address a certain review we recieved. I won't say who it was but I will admit, it got on my nerves.

Before anyone says anything, please note that I do respect other people's opinions. That is what reviews are for, to tell us what you think and what's on your mind as you read our work. I do not judge people for what they say because otherwise, there would be no point in having around let alone post up our work.

As you know, Haruno Lynn, the older sister of Haruno Sakura and girlfriend of Seto Kaiba, is my creation. She is my OC and I appreciate none of you taking her and using her as your own. I respect my idea being respected. Actually, to be honest, I'm a little surprised a few of you are fans of her. Not that I'm complaining that is, LOL.

Now, I'm sure all of you know how OC's take quite some time to create. There are detail after detail to work with and make sure everything sounds perfect, almost like they could be an actual canon character. It took me quite some time to create Lynn and, to be honest, I'm still adding details to her original biography.

And, considering the many fans we have for Crystal Lotus, I'm sure many of you know that yes, Lynn IS a main character in this story and plays a vital role throughout the entire thing.

However, as I stated before, one review particually hit a nerve, saying that the story would be better if Lynn Haruno wasn't in this story. They also said that people don't generally like OC's, that they take the spotlight away from the REAL main character.

Now, again, I respect their opinion, but please do not get mad at me for getting slightly ticked off at this review. Haruno Lynn is dear to my heart for many reasons, not just because she's my creation. So when I see that someone thinks she isn't needed or even wanted in this story that my sister happens to LOVE, its going to piss me off. (And for those of you wondering, yes, like my character, I happen to be a natural redhead so my temper isn't something fun).

I'm very happy most of you happen to love my character and don't have a problem with her being in it. But for the others who DO have a problem with it, please take it up with me and send me a Private Message on my page. Don't leave it in a review.

Now, for those of you who like Haruno Lynn and would like to read more stories with her in it, please visit my page. I try to post as often as I can but, as my profile describes, I'm a bit old-school, meaning I hand-write everything out before I type it all up and post it for fans like you. Most of my fics are indeed one-shots, but I am working on other stories at the same time, so please be patient.

That should be it. I hope I didn't offend any of you by stating my own opinion. Please continue reading Crystal Lotus and I hope all of you stick around to see the end!
