Hello everyone. This is not a chapter update, but a life update. Feel free to continue reading.
I want to thank everyone who took the time to read, follow, or favourite this story. Purer than Snow had been an idea that'd been tossing around in my head for some time, so sitting down to finally write it was a long time coming. I appreciate all the love and support that this story has garnered, and I'm so happy to find that you love and care for these characters as much as I do. I had so much fun taking this narrative and placing it in a more modern setting, and discussing issues that are very close to my heart.
I also apologise for the gaps between updates. I used to keep up a monthly schedule, but given the intensity of the program I'm in, I had to put the story on hold several times due to my course workload as well as severe bouts of depression. I'm doing much better now, but it's been a pretty rough ride for me, which means I wasn't able to upload as often, and I cannot begin to thank you all enough for sticking with me to the end. Thank you so much.
That brings me to the next thing. The "end". The thing is, I don't know if this is really the end for Alice and Mirana and this particular AU. Don't worry, Bumby is NOT coming back. That bastard is locked up where he belongs, and, to quote Alice from Madness Returns, "some half-wit bruiser will make [him] his sweetheart", I'm sure. I think there is potential for a sequel, but I'm not quite sure one is necessary, at least not now.
Whether or not I continue is ultimately up to me, but regardless, I thank you all once again for joining me on this adventure, for accepting new faces and embracing the old under a different lens.
Fairfarren,
