Hello everyone.

So I realize I haven't updated this story in a really, really long time (I don't even want to go look, it's been that long) so I wanted to apologize to you all about that. I've gotten quite a few messages over the last few months and haven't responded to any of you… I am so, so sorry. The last few months of my life have been really crazy. It was my senior spring of high school, I had a 20 page paper due, family problems, and I worked a lot so that I can go to college in the fall. Also, as you know I no longer had a beta reader to nudge me (okay…. Body slam me) into writing for you all. In a way, I feel I have really failed you, as this community has always been so supportive of me. So that is why I will resume posting updates to Not Alone as of this week.

I need a few days to reread the story, go back through my messages with PRC to see where I was going with this, and respond to all your queries. I won't have a beta, so it will not be quite as polished as you're used to, but I figure it's better than abandoning you all.

Thank you all so very much, and look for an update within the week.

Emily.
