Hi guys. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Been awhile since this was edited, huh? Well sadly, I have a confession to make. I'll be straight to the point, for there's no reason to beat the bush senselessly... this story will be put on hold, and I honestly don't know for how long. I wanted to continue this, I really did, and this wasn't a decision that came easily. Ever since I've started writing on this site and writing in general, I promised myself that I would NOT put any stories on hiatus, for I felt it would be letting down the fans. But the workload has become so massive with all stories I currently have, along with many more that are planned and some that have never been attempted in this site before, that I feel like I have no choice. If I was going to continue to be a writer here, I needed to make a decision quickly... or risk burning out like so many authors that came before me.

Does this mean the story itself is over? Absolutely not. There is no way I'll ever stop creating, not until the day I die... or Fanfiction. Net screws up and deletes itself. I wouldn't be surprised if that happened, with all the bugs it has, the bot attacks... eh, at least we got PM's back a couple of days ago after an entire year, right?

Jokes aside, this is why I'm also way spreading out to other sites on the chance this website makes a mistake it can't undo. This of course, adds to the workload and stress; and for the sake of my mental health, I NEEDED to either give up on the story (which is out of the question), or take a break for a while. Had to choose the lesser of 2 evils here. I thank everyone whose been supporting me and this story, you guys are the outlet that recharges the batteries that keep this machine going. But I think its time to unplug it, and let this machine rest for a while before it overheats. Cause if that happens, it'll be the same thing all over again. Another author leaves the site for whatever reason(s). And I can't in good conscience allow that to happen too me or you.

I hope you all understand and don't hate me for this, and again it wasn't an easy choice to make. I've been holding it off for so long, but its the only way I can move forward. Like Frosty the Snowman says: I'll be back again, someday. Like I said before, I have no intention of quitting; just reducing the workload or risk crashing into a wall and gaining injuries I can never recover from. I apologize to all those looking forward to the future of this story, but this won't last forever. Unless me or Fanfiction dies, this is NOT the end.

Thanks for being there and understanding. Have a good one. See ya'll sooner or later!
