The Battleship and the Carpenter

by dragonflydreamz4

AU: Largely Arizona and Callie based. What if they met under different circumstances at different times in their lives? Arizona in Malawi, Callie in NY, so how do they end up in a dirty bar bathroom in Seattle? The doctors of Seattle Grace are going on an adventure of a lifetime on a mission trip. Eventual Calzona, slow burn. Rated M after chapter 15.

57. Chapter 57: NOT A CHAPTER- Author's note

AN: I apologize greatly to everyone for posting an Author's note as a chapter, I did not want to do this but it's easier to just address all of you at once. This is in large part because of all the messages and reviews I have received recently. As I have stated in my last few Author's notes, I have a busy schedule right now. I am moving 900 miles in July so I am trying to pack and spend time with my family and friends in addition to working my normal schedule. I am attempting to post the next chapter before I leave for Boston on the 12th. After that, I will not be posting another chapter until mid August while I am adjusting to my new job and getting settled. Please remember, this is a hobby for me. Most of you are very gracious with your messages and comments but some of you have been a bit more aggressive. I am not paid or rewarded for this in anyway (aside from the 10-15 of you that consistently leave reviews). I don't do it for rewards but also, I have a real job and family that come before this. If I could write all the time, I would but that is unfortunately not my reality. Also, I put a lot of time and effort into each chapter so A) I'm not going to just post something for the sake of posting. All of you and this story deserve better than that and B) While I don't write for reviews, it takes a lot more effort for me to post a chapter than it does for you to leave a review and only about 10-15 of you do that for every 10,000 of you that read my newest chapter every month. I promise you, this is not a story I intend on leaving unfinished. If it is too drawn out for you or not your type of story or writing style, I completely understand that. I hope those of you that truly love this story understand that life happens sometimes. By mid August, my hope is that I can post every 7-14 days like I did before. Please keep in mind that there's things in my life going on that I also don't feel comfortable sharing with complete strangers. Thank you so much for all of your kind words, support, and loyalty to this story. I hope to be posting the next chapter in the next two weeks. If I cannot post, I will address you again but I have it mostly written so it shouldn't be an issue. As always, take care :)
