Apologies. I know many of you are looking forward to an update, which will come soon, but first:

In the past two years, I have been cursed, insulted and called names for the smallest things, like taking a break from writing. I have been threatened for saying these things bothered me. I have been called mean and pathetic, I have been told I ''hurt others'' when I speak in my own defense.

I can deal with that.

But when people start saying it is my own fault two of my beloved pets passed away - one because she had a heart attack and the other because she was already ill when we got her, not even 24 hours before she died - I am done.

From now on, I will start ignoring rude and hurtful reviews and delete them without even responding to them (of course, I will continue responding to other reviews as I always have).

(To the guest reviewer Fuwuwu: either your English skills and writing style changed and worsened drastically within the span of a week, or someone else used your name to leave one of the worst reviews I have ever received on one of my stories. I personally believe, and hope, it is the latter.

If it is, then know I'm not mad at you or blame you for anything.)

If someone believes I'm being unreasonable and doesn't want to read my stories anymore – it's happened before – then okay. I honestly cannot bring myself to care about such people anymore.

To those who have supported me for so long, thank you so much. Your reviews bring a smile to my face every day and I couldn't have come so far without your support. I would list your names here, but there are so many of you that that's impossible. I just want you guys to know that the reason I haven't quit writing is because of all of you and all of you are absolutely amazing. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

See you next chapter!
