Hey guys, I've got another little update for all of you. Now, before anyone gets excited, no this isn't a new chapter, just a new note from me. I've had it posted on my bio page, but I figured that I should probably post it here in the story as well.

I am no longer writing on this story, as said in my last note. However, a wonderful person known as Freezair () has said he would like to continue this story for me. So I've turned it over to him. Watch his profile for the continuation, and let him know how you like it.
On another note, I've finally got my very first flame! I'm so happy. ^_^ I'm also concerned that the flame may be deleted as most flames on ff.net tend to be. So I've copied and pasted it into this Author's Note to preserve it. It reads as follows:

Your Worst Nightmare (you_suck!!!@not_a_real_site.com) 2003-03-16

I'm ashamed in you. it's a good story, but you just abondon it. how grown up of you. you leave us with a cliff hanger... but then you tell us, the people who wasted our presios(sp) time reading this and asking for a chapter 5 and it not coming, that you won't post another chapter. a real auther NEVER "Loses the will" to write a story! We wasted our time reading this... this... trash! Ya, trash! some auther YOU turned out to be. instead of reading this trash, we could of been reading a book, or something! I hope you're reading this, auther! I hope my flame gave you something to think about... I hope this and all your other storys are deleated! I mean, if you can finish all your other storys, why cant you finish this one!? One more thing! If your from the U.S.A, then why do you insault Canadians!? I'm a Canadian! if you can insault Canadians... then us Canadians can insault YOU for a change! you should be ashamed. not for the cliff hanger... not for the insaults to Canadians... but for the fact that you didn't finish the story. I hope you are ashamed...

Now there's a problem, you see, I really want to talk to this happy little person, but unfortunately, he/she did not leave a proper e-mail address. One would think it wouldn't be very hard to type in a correct e-mail address, but I'm sure he/she probably had a very good reason for why he/she failed to do so. So I'm willing to forgive. ^_~ Anyway, If you're reading this, Your Worst Nightmare, here's my answer to your review.

Firstly, I'm happy to say that I am not the least bit ashamed of this or any of my other stories. You see, this is a very old story, from when I first started writing. When an author first starts, they make mistakes. That's how you learn and grow better. I made a pretty big mistake with this story. I didn't plan it out. I was writing it chapter by chapter. That's why I ran out of steam.

Secondly, Your Worst Nightmare, I don't believe you really think this story is trash. Obviously you liked it and cared about it enough to be upset when you found out that it has been discontinued. I don't think you should lie about stuff like this, when you know, in the big scheme of things, how much does one little story matter?

Thirdly, I think you are showing your stupidity when you said, "We wasted our time reading this... this... trash! . . . instead of reading this trash, we could of been reading a book, or something!" My point is, I didn't make you read this. You chose to do so on your own. So how can you blame me? And if reading a book is so important, why weren't you doing that in the first place?

Fourthly, and perhaps most importantly, how have I insulted Canadians? I have nothing against Canadians or any other nationality, and I'm concerned that you think I have slighted your country. Please tell me where and how I did so, and I will correct it ASAP.

Lastly, Your Worst Nightmare, next time you decide to flame someone, here's a hint. You might want to watch your spelling, grammar, and capitalization. It's a bit difficult to take something that badly written seriously.
