News Update as of January 30, 2006
Well considering this story hasn't been updated in a while I felt it was the least I can do as an author to at least write a News chapter.
As of now this story is dead. I will not continue it or update it further. The concept is also up for grabs by any authors who can handle it better then I did. Sorry to all those who got into this because I personally don't like it when other authors do this. Again this is totally my fault on why this story is ending before it's time and I apologize for that.
Now onto why this story is being killed. To put it plain and simple I messed up with the Kim character. She comes off as a jerk and frankly that's my fault. I messed with a concept of how to handle her response and it failed. I've changed a lot since the start of this story and no longer agree with earlier views on how Kim would handle certain things. As a result I can not see how I can possibly continue this and end it in a proper way. I had a set plan for this story and now I just can't see it following that plan anymore. I played with the concept of modifying my plan but in the end it would have ended badly. Considering all this I can't continue writing this poorly written story with a good conscience. Again I'm sorry.
For anyone who wants to run with this concept they have my permission. That is an official permission so I don't want to hear about anyone being accused of copying. I am also open for helping out in concept areas any author who wants to write a topic similar to this story. I after all like the whole concept it's just a shame I handled it so badly.
This sort of thing is not planned to happen a lot. My other stories that haven't updated recently will be finished. The biggest one that comes to mind is 'The Heart and The Mind' which I've stalled on the final chapter. The problem is how to write the ending so it works not on the actually story. It will finish but it'll take a little while before I settle on a concept. My two other stories are in the process of having their latest chapters finished and will hopefully be on-line before the end of this week. Company came over and delayed the writing so blame them on that.
Again I apologize for this and expect that a few of you will be ticked off by this. It was a poorly executed story and that is my fault completely.
