Author's Note:
Ok, so I promised myself I'd never do this. You all know what "this" is. Posting an author's note as a "chapter" which invariably bumps the story on the server and gets everyone all excited that there is an update. So let me just say right up front. I'm sorry. This is not an update. Nor did I intend to "bump" this story. (I would actually prefer it to stay hidden in the depths of the archive so that more people don't email me asking me to finish). I simply feel that I owe a bit of an explanation as to the drought in this story.
I have received numerous emails asking me if I plan on continuing this story, and if so, when should you all expect an update. First off, when I started writing, I promised myself that I would not leave a story unfinished. I hated it when other authors did that and I know most of you do as well. So in a way, I'm planning on continuing. However, if you notice, it's been forever since I last updated (April was it?). The reasons for this are many. When I started this story so freaking forever ago, I actually had a genuine interest in Gilmore Girls. Now, I pretty much don't even watch the show. I've seen one episode this year and maybe 2 from all of last season. After the Tristan character was gone, it was difficult to get back into the mode of writing. And now, I'm so far removed from that show (not to mention in this story Rory is still a sophomore in high school) that motivation is highly lacking. Secondly, I no longer have free time on my hands. I started back to school and spend most of my waking hours, and even some that should be devoted to sleeping, reading and studying. In fact, it's 2 a.m. right now and I just finished with a paper that's due in less than 7 hours. So needless to say, passing my courses has taken priority over this fic.
Anyway, to make a long whine short, I don't even know if posting author's notes violates fanfiction.net's policy anymore since I've been away for so long. I'm sorry if it does. I have the next chapter idea in my head, as well as the general conclusion to the story. So maybe if I find a few hours over the holiday breaks, I may try to get something out there. But I make no promises.
Thank you all for your feedback. It's really nice to know that some of you still read this story even after all of this time. And I'm sorry I can do no more to feed your fanfic desires. I'm only human afterall.
