Hello everyone! I know your all-expecting chapter 16 of Shadows of the Past but alas, its not coming today. Or for a while.

First of all I would like to thanks all my reviewers - you guys kept me going when on more than one occasion I wanted to take the easy route and delete the story. It's not being deleted nor do I plan to until the apocalypse or something like that.

I'll say it again:

THIS FIC IS NOT BEING REMOVED

All I'm doing is just warning you in advance that it won't be updated very often (not that it was before) because:

I'm on holiday - I do not speak Greek so therefore cannot ask directions to the nearest internet café.

I'm missing the week of revision before the end of year exams because of this holiday so I need to revise cos I want to stay in my Science set and need to revise for that one especially. Its cos of this fic I need to do that cos I wrote fan fiction instead of homework.

LET THAT BE A WARNING - GO AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK YOUNG LADY/GENTLEMAN NOW!

Writer's block (damn it!)

So if anyone is desperate for the beginning bit (which is, oh, a paragraph) just tell me

Damn I'm so sorry but there will definitely be no updates for at least two weeks (see above).

Thanks again for all your support and/or ideas

Your very sad and sorry,

Opal Star
