First of all, an apology to everyone who has been waiting ages for chapter 20 of this story. I understand that that's basically no one, but I feel the need to say sorry anyway.
Bad news is, there is probably never going to be a chapter 20. Why? Because I'm not going to write it. This being because:
a) I have major writer's block on this story. And I'm not talking about a little, slightly annoying writer's block - I'm talking about the full-blown, so-bad-I-feel-like-tearing-my-eyes-out writer's block. Seriously.
b) The ending I had planned for this story is absolutely crap, and I have only just realized. It's boring, unexciting, disappointing and complete shit. I refuse to write it.
c) I hate my writing style. A few days ago I re-read the entire story so far and I can't believe I actually posted this. The storyline etc. is fine in my eyes, but the way I've wrote it isn't.
Basically, I'm saying goodbye to this story. I'm not going to delete it from the site - like I said, I'm quite proud of the storyline in general - but you can consider it the end.
However, if - by some amazing stroke of luck - I come up with an ending I like, I promise you, I will write it and post it up. But don't wait for me.
If you actually have an idea for this story (which I doubt you will, but whatever), just tell me in a review or email. Then maybe I'll have something to work with.
I would go and ask you to check out my other two stories, but oddly enough - they've pulled to an end as well. Maybe to be deleted, I've not yet decided.
Anyway, I think I've rambled enough. Once again, sorry for being such a crappy author. I hope this won't stop anyone from reading my future stories!
