This is somewhat of a copy from my profile, but I have elongated it for this page. Please read it with my deepest apologies to you, my darling, darling readers.
I'm not writing fanfiction anymore. Very sorry, but chaps, I'm nearing my 25th birthday, I just got out of grad school and just got engaged. Yes, that right. YLS got engaged. Never thought it could happen? Well, neither did I! Exciting time for me, yes, but I'm afraid that after 2 years of not updating, what do you expect from me? I'm done. I'm an old hag who has to throw the towel in. I started this when I was what, 21? 22? It's been great. It really has. I just have a life outside the internet that awaits me. I can't escape it any longer. The real world calls. I may be getting older, but I promise I'm not growing up. I will never grow up. Just because we grow older, that doesn't mean we have to grow up. I have greatly appreciated all the support you, my fantastic readers, have given me, but it's somewhat over. It's never really over. Even in death, we have some sort of immortality that keeps us here. No, I'm not dying. No, I don't have cancer, no I don't have tuberculosis, and no, I'm not giving in to corporate America. I'm simply ending on chapter of my life and starting another. Surely you fanfiction-ers can understand that? I'm starting a sequel to this book full of chapters. Who knows what can happen.
If you are angry with me, why? Everyone needs a life. Plenty of things go unfinished in life. You just have to accept them and move on. If anyone wishes to take one or two or all of my fics and complete them, write a sequel, write a prequel, parody them, whatever, simply email me here at and tell me and I'll probably give you permission, but it's always best to ask first.
My fondest wishes to you all in your travels through life, death, the afterlife, the Bahamas and everywhere in between.
Akiko Fukuda aka YLS
