Hello everybody,

Wow. I don't know what to say, it's really been a while, like years. But I guess I'll start with sorry. When I uploaded the last chapter of this fic nearly two years ago, I wasn't in a good spot mentally. I was angry, mostly at myself, I was scared, I was discouraged, and all I really wanted was an ego trip. I didn't really respect my audience's suggestions, hence all the uncorrected typos, and I really just saw this as a way for me to let out some of my unpublished frustrations. Then the summer of 2020 and the hangover that was 2021 happened, and I got an excuse to stop working in any capacity on this fic and I just gave up on a lot of things.

I know that none of this justifies what I did, that it's a piss poor excuse, and that I'm incredibly lucky. First, to have published a fic anyone deemed worth reading at all. Second, that no one in my family died during the pandemic, a heartbreaking period of suffering that some of my friends had to go through, and that I didn't get COVID, a traumatic experience my sister had over the summer of 2020. Third, I was able to keep on going in school and am now looking at graduating with not only a degree but a clear job waiting for me out of college.

Don't worry, this isn't to announce that And Thus the French Foreign Legion Fought Here is cancelled; far from it, I'm working on another chapter as we speak and plan to publish it before the end of April. Instead, it's just to give you all a heads up that I'm still here, have started working on it, have caught up on AOT, and will have to make a few alterations regarding the series ending.

Until then, I just want to say thank you for sticking with me and that I'm deeply sorry about the prolonged, unannounced, and frankly disrespectful hiatus that I put you all through.

Sincerely,

JackieRobinson
