IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE
I always swore I'd never, ever post an author's note without a chapter, but something has happened recently that made me break this rule. Apparently, someone has been stealing this story and posting it on other sites claiming that it's their own, under the same title with my quotes and everything, unaware that I have an account on the site they were on and numerous loyal readers, one of which noticed the story and alerted me to this horrible act of plagiarism.
Obviously, this person doesn't know how hard I work to make these stories, or how angry it makes me to learn that somebody else is trying to take credit for a plot and characters that I've put so much effort into inventing. Not to mention how hurt I am that anyone would steal from me like this. It's like being stabbed in the back by someone you considered a friend.
With this in mind, please understand if it takes me a while to get back to the next chapter of FCA (Which I was in the process of writing when I was told about this) as I don't think I can work on it any more until my anger cools off a bit. Also, feel free to give me notice if you see someone publishing my work under their names on different sites, which shouldn't be too hard to spot as I only ever use the penname WingsOfMorphius. E-mail me if you must, but I want this unspeakable crime to end here and now.
With that in mind, I thank all of my LOYAL readers out there, and promise to get the next chapter to you as soon as I feel up to it.
