ATTENTION ATTENTION - READ ALL ABOUT IT! CHAPTER 26 IS UP!
Well, if you go to one of my other sites that is since I don't post actual chapters over here anymore. Check profile for sorta-links since this site is absolutely terrified of external links.
Read below about why the chapter isn't actually posted here. This portion is tossed in this space in case chapters have to contain more than a certain number of words or some such thing - skip if you've read it before; it's not like it's changed much, lol.
Dearest Darling Readers-Mine,
This story is not gone.
It lives on, probably in infamy, over on my preferred posting site, addicted2godric. wordpress. com, and on TWCS, and on AO3. Check my profile for links that don't work because fanfiction .paranoia is too over-controlling to let readers know other viable fanfic sites exist.
The problem, however, is that other ASSHOLE"fanfic" sites exist, too, and that, ladies and gennelmen, is why I've deleted all but these five stories, and all but the first chapters of these.
See, these clone/mirror sites have copied the entirety of fanfiction .here - including all the stories, and they're pulling in ad revenue off this stolen property.
Basically, they're making money off my work not only without my permission but without sharing the cash with me, either.
I don't make shit for writing fanfiction - writing fanfiction actually COSTS me in time, energy, patience, smokes, and coffee...damned if I want an unauthorized site makin' bank on my ass. It's bad enough that this site cashes in with the ad revenue (thank God for AdBlock so I don't have to see the ads!), but at least I've given them permission to do so by posting my work here.
These mirror/clone sites? Fuck them in the ass with a spiked rusty crowbar.
Now, I'm not going to give links to these fucking asshole sites since they're known to contain malware, but when you're reading a fic be sure to check the address bar to be sure you're on fanfiction .thisshittysite.
Spread the word.
When the next real chapter update is available, I'll post a notice here as Ch. 3 so you guys will know it's up and ready. At this point I'm still going to maintain this account here no matter how tempted I am to leave, so feel free to PM me here, leave reviews, etc., but the actual chapters will be posted on the other three sites listed above and in my profile.
You are MORE than welcome to come on over to my Wordpress site - there are pics, banners, and a ton of stories that haven't been - and won't be - posted here. There are a couple of fics over there that are site-specific including one that I'm going to be posting the final chapter to within the next couple days (done and done by now). Click to follow so you'll get notifications, etc.
Come on in - the water's fine!
