I have been struggling with a difficult decision over the last few days, and I have come to a conclusion that I don't think you guys are going to like. This fic has hit a writer's block that I thing will be rather permanent. The last couple chapters have been a struggle for me to get out and I don't think any future ones will be any easier.
Please review if you have any ideas for the continuation of this fic. I am not going to turn it over to anyone else- this is my fic and I am going to be the only person writing it. My problem, however, is that Cat doesn't have anything to do with her life. Now that the secret's out, there's nothing really that she can do that would be that different from any other young noble. She's not going to become a knight, I don't feel like introducing some random enemy for her to conquer and romance gets old very fast if there's nothing else going on.
An epilogue will be forthcoming to let you all know what I think Cat does with the rest of her life. I'm also going to rewrite the earlier portions of this story. Some of it I think moves too quickly and some of the writing is just plain not up to what I think I can write now. If no wonderful new ideas occur to me or come in a review, that will be all the new things this story will see.
I'm not going to leave fanfiction- I'm working on another Tamora Pierce fic, an AJ AU. Go check it out- I really like that writing more than this one, and there's a lot more places I can go with it.
Thank you all so much for your support and feedback that I've been getting. This is my most successful story in the first place I really have come out as a writer. I can't thank you enough for all the reviews I've gotten- they mean the world to me.
Love you all! No matter what happens, keep writing. The ones who mind won't matter and the ones who matter won't mind. Zhai'helleva! Queen's Own
