Author's Note
Alright—first of all, I apologize for doing this at all: I know how obnoxious it is to get a "new chapter" alert and then find out it's just the author(esse) making a note and being very dull, et cetera.
But, I felt it was only fair to warn my lovely readers that I'm not going to be able to update for about 2 weeks—I'm going to Sicily, and there is a 98.7 percent chance(!) that I won't be able to use a computer, and a 99.2 percent chance(!) that even if there is, I won't be able to take the time to write up & post another chapter.
Well, I'm off—again, thank you for all the reviews and support! I know a lot of people are more or less very against the pro-Raoul-type phics…and I know that I myself have laughed at a few of the ones that portray him in a not-so-nice light. But personally, I find his character a lot more complex and fascinating that Christine's, for one; and few people really bother to go in depth into his character, or give him more layers. Basically that's what my aim is, besides indirectly giving explanations for all that he does in "the strange affair" that we all know and love (otherwise, why would you be here reading these phics?).
Alright, well, I'd say I've rambled quite enough for one evening. If you get bored, you can start on memorizing this whole phic up until this 'chapter'. (CyberRaouls to anyone who actually does!...)
Okay, shut up, me. Bye!

(!) : Statistics based on Authoresse's dad's laptop. (Or sister's boyfriend's/boyfriend's friend's laptop.) Statistics also completely random and based on no real mathematical judgement. Statistics ALSO-also completely pointless; pay no attention to them. It's 2 AM and the Authoresse is tired, and is still trying to pack.
And has to wake up at 7 AM.
Which, in short- sucks.
