This is an Open Letter to The Guest Who Has Gone Completely Off Track.

I regret to inform you that this story is not a platform for you to take over and make your own personal therapy session. This is not a platform to attack others with snide remarks just to make yourself feel better. This is not a platform for you to hold court about your knowledge of whatever comes into your brain at the moment and completely disregard the topic at hand.

This is a platform for storytelling and historical fantasy and fan support and togetherness.

Please kindly join us here in our Mohican world or please go away and leave us alone.

You know who you are and I know enough of who you are and you will not be allowed to post any more reviews on my story. They will, and have been for weeks now, simply omitted.

I have dealt with your kind before and I will not allow you to ruin this story for me and the other fans with your abuse and imbalance and self-importance.

If I may offer some advice, it would be to get some psychological help and get to true work on it. The attitude and personality you present is very off-putting and drives people away. I don't want you to have to be alone and isolated, especially since once being a victim of abuse and trauma yourself, you deserve to be loved and cared for properly. That cannot happen until you are better. So get up and get to it because life is short and you only get one of them in the real world and if you've survived this far in your life, you should at least get to actually enjoy it.

Goodbye. I will not be speaking to, or of, these types of reviews again.

To All Other Readers, Including the Guest Who Didn't Particularly Like Chapter 30 and That's Okay, I apologize for involving you in this. If I could have done it privately, I would have. but I no longer believe in silently enduring abuse just to "be nice".

I will say I could not bear the thought of putting this response at the end of any lovely Uncas/Alice/Chingachgook/etc chapter and sullying it.

I can barely stomach putting it in this story at all. But I feel it needs to be said. Maybe it will empower others to stand up to their own bullies. Maybe not. But at least I've done what I could.

And now, if you're ready, gentle readers, we'll get back to the story at hand.

Soon-ish, anyway. ;)

Love,

NotMarge.
