Uh, hi?

So, to address any lingering questions; No, I'm not dead (Obviously), and this story isn't abandoned. The reason the rewrites have been taking so long is that a few months ago, my dearest laptop of seven years sadly passed, and decided to do so before I could back-up all my files. In short, I lost everything; The rough drafts, the final drafts, all my character lists, timelines, outlines, planned plots, and even the semi-written new chapter. I was pretty sure I was going to have to give up on the whole damn thing (An absolute tragedy as I've been planning and plotting this story since 2015), but I finally found a computer guy who managed to resurrect my hard drive and recover my files. So, while a new chapter isn't on the horizon for a bit, we're getting there.

I'd just like to say thank-you to all of you who've stuck with Before the Dawn even through this massive hiatus, and welcome to all of you who've found it since. Laura's story still isn't done, so please, bear with me, and I promise I'll get it out there.

P.S. I'm in the process of cross-posting this story on AO3 (Same title and username), so if any of you prefer to read over there, the first revised chapter is available, and the edited chapters will be uploaded there and here simultaneously.

P.P.S. If you haven't already, go see The Batman. I just saw it last night, and it was great!
