Here we go again...

Yup, I can't really make myself stay away from the fanfiction world as much as I'd like to. Trust me, it's a fun hobby, but it would more than likely be in my best interests if i dropped it. Oh well. Many of you have noted the name change in your reviews. Keen observation ;). I changed it on purpose. Ladies and Gents, I am and feel differently now than I did I-don't-know-how-many-years-ago when I first entered the fanficiton world. I look back on most of my old writings and gag. While I greatly appreciate all the positive feedback I got from so many people, I feel that the writer has changed and it is best to move on with my work as well. You'll notice that several stories have been deleted. No, they're not coming back.

I'm going to take this time now and sort out the mess I've made. I really wanted to delete all of my stories (with the exception of a few), and if I ever get around to a website, then I will and simply host outdated stories in an archive. As for now, they stay. That is a long while away, yet. My own goal right now is not to post a series unless I really really have the time to work on it. Life is insanely busy, and it absolutely comes first. So, let's clear up some story questions...

FIC STATUS

Deleted Fics

Resurrection of Time
Learning to Live
Those Summer Days
Sweet Beginnings
Just Friends

Most of these weren't widely read anyhow, so no big loss. Resurrection of Time was the most painful delete :(. But honestly, I do not have either the time no inspiration to work on it anymore.

One-Shots

One-shots will continue to appear from time to time, even if I am in the middle of a series. Please do not send reviews complaining that I wrote a stand-alone story while in the middle of something else. Moments of inspiration happen. There is often a very real need for a break or change in the current work pattern :). Keep your eyes open because they'll pop up out of nowhere!

PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS!

Mates and You're not Alone will NOT, I repeat, NOT be updated anymore...because I'm rewriting them. Honestly, I can't stand to read what I've written, though many people like them. I like the general ideas of them though, and I want to improve them. I'm not sure yet what they will be, but the titles will change. Mates is to be rewritten first. Whenever that is finished, I will begin You're not Alone. This is non-negotiable and is the way things are going to happen. Please accept this.

ALSO IMPORTANT: I will write as often as I can, but this is not a priority in life. Thank you to all who have stuck by me and have been an encouragement. A BIG thank you and BIG hug to all of those who have been understanding of the fact that fanfiction is not my life. I'm going to take the time now to answer some questions or messages that I have received through reviews, PM's, and e-mails:

Yes, I realize how long it's been since I've updated.
No, I'm not dead.
Tough luck if you're pissed off about cliffhangers. It happens _.
Yup, I have a life.
Yes, I'm still on the face of the planet

Love you all! Give me some time, though. I want to put out decent work and chapters this time! I'm looking forward to writing again. Best of luck to all of you, and God bless!
