Dear Readers,

 These past few months have been a blast for me. Writing Scare Tactics was a personal achievement and I'm ecstatic that it's been finished, and finished on a happy note. Unfortunately, writing False Tactics has not been quite the same. I feel I have lost the spark and excitement I had when writing Scare Tactics and it seems I keep forcing myself to write this without nearly as much enjoyment. I feel bad about doing this now, but I believe it's necessary before the situation gets any worse. All of you have been with me and given me tremendous support throughout the last 6 or so months. But I don't believe I can continue if I'm not writing for myself anymore.

 This story has just started to take a nosedive and I'd rather not continue writing it if I'm not giving it my best effort. And here's why it's been bothering me: the past several weeks, I've been rushing to complete my chapters the day before they're uploaded. In turn, we see typos, illogical reasoning, and in the end, dissatisfaction on my part. I hate it that I've been writing these chapters last minute, and I've been trying to train myself to write more during the week, but my efforts have been unsuccessful. Now, I think I should leave this story where it is, and perhaps some time in the future, I'll go back and re-write it. I wouldn't like to think of this as giving up, but respectfully leaving it before it gets worse.

 In the meantime, I'm going to start working on other projects. My community is in the tentative stages of working on a theatrical play, and I will most likely be spending a lot of time on this. But I've had other ideas swimming around my head, and you'll probably see a Lord of the Rings or Pirates of the Caribbean story up in a while. You also may see some JAG flash fics or small and short stories.

 Once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks for all your constant support. Though I may be stopping with this story, you guys have convinced me I have a writing talent and I'm going to use it. Thank you all.
