I am soooooooo sorry for not updating sooner!!!! I can sort of explain though. At the beginning of August I was going to summer camp, and right after I was going to Cedar Point in Ohio. I wouldn't have any time to update between the two, and right after Cedar Point was the first day of school! So I tried to post an authors note explaining why the fanfic wouldn't be updated for a whole month, but either my internet was screwy or the server wasn't working properly but I couldn't get the note posted! So after that school started and keep in mind, I am a grade 8 student, and along with preparing for high school, I have enrichment class, guitar lessons and friends. You can imagine how busy I am! After the first couple weeks I had some free time but I was slacking on the story. Last week I received a review from slazenger77 (which was really helpful, thank you sooo much!! ^_^) which inspired me to continue with my fanfic. And believe me, my mind is black and blue with all the mental kicks I've given myself. So anyway, following this should be the newest chapter of tides of fate!! Yes, this fanfic IS OFFICIALLY UP AND RUNNING!!!!! Yay!!!! I hope all my readers who have taken this fanfic as dead will return!! Read and review please!!!!!
