I lied. This is not the next chapter of IYE.

CunningWoman sighs as readers throw tomatoes and the occasional anvil at her.

I really am sorry. I have gone through what I would like to call the worst week of my life, but really is only the second worst, and it all got worse yesterday when my boyfriend and I split up (and it just happened to be our ten-month anniversary. How sweet.). I did it, not him, so don't do anything to him, if you know who he is. He also writes, or was going to write, on this site. We're still best friends, but all you people out there who have gone through this predicament know that it still hurts like no other.

I hope you can understand why I'm not quite up to writing romance stories at the moment.

I'm going to take a while to really focus on God and get my life back together. I don't know how long it will take, but PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON ME. I promise I will be back as soon as writing the words 'I love you' don't make me start bawling. See? There I go again.

Just kidding, I'm not that pitiful.

Bye! Hope to write for you all again soon!

Machiavelli Jr- I'm glad you like it. I was starting to wonder myself. Of course, you ARE aware that saying the 'S' word now gets you Avada Kedavra-d…

harrypotteravatarfan1- Wow, you seem hyperactive. Somebody needs to lay off the juice… just kidding! I love that you like my story that much!

Starrydreamz- I hope that happens in Book Six, too. In case you couldn't tell, you know…

Azabaza- Thanks! Cute things ROCK!

Luvguurl- I'm really, really sorry…

heather1021- My best friend from kindergarten's name was Heather! You get a gold star and 5 points to your house just for your name. I'll have Dobby throw in a few cookies, too.

Wolf's scream- The cow says…Moooo. The duck says…Quack. The authors of say…Yay! for constructive criticism. Thanks for helping me out with my story.

kitottercat- Hey, gradual romance is the only way to go. I hate it when Harry and Ginny only take a paragraph or even a chapter to get back together. Where's the fun in that? I like your name too, so you get the same gifts as heather1021 (see above).

DesiDude- I really appreciate that you think my story is professional. That has probably got to be one of the highest compliments I've gotten so far for my writing. And I think that this has got to be the smallest world ever, since Desi was a friend of mine in my 5th grade class. See heather1021's gifts above.

How pitiful am I for noticing all these things?

zan189- I never thought of the Harry/Mr.Darcy connection. It made me smile! And Dumbledore… well, he totally snuck his way in there. I've decided I'm in the 'denial' stage of loss. That, or he just popped in to say hello to us live'uns. From now on, though, he's going to pretend he is his brother Aberforth.

vanaalmar- CunningWoman does a happy dance. Captivating is a wonderful thing for a fanfiction writer to achieve. Unfortunately, so is actually making sense. I'm glad I can do both!

Arianna of Bellezza- Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you think I have a unique style.

Bye everyone! I'll miss you!
