I sincerely apologize to all of my faithful readers, you have been incredible to stick with me for so long!
However, this notice concerns the future of this fanfic. You see, I've rather lost my inspiration for it, as well as where I was going with it. I will be leaving this version up for the time being, however it will be replaced by a new version that I am working on. This will be uploaded as a new fic instead of using the chapter replacement. Much of it will be the same, but I will be working on:
-Filling in plot holes
-Fixing grammar and convention mistakes
-Editing for improved Middle-Earth accuracy
AND
-Editing for SEMI-HBP compliance (explanation for this upon demand)
I will answer any and all questions regarding my decision, this story, the progress of the new version, and anything else on your mind concerning this if you would either kindly leave a signed review, or provide an email at which I may be able to reach you.
Thank you again for 133 reviews so far and well over 2000 hits!
If you would like to be notified when the new story is up, add this one to your story alerts. I will be posting another author's note here when I post the first chapter, and I will be deleting this entire story soon after posting the second chapter of the new version.
I appreciate your understanding in this matter, since it was a hard decision for me, however, I have gotten several reviews which, while absolutely wonderful, have alerted me to many mistakes that I know I am above making. Please, if you have any comments on this, other ideas for improvements in the new version, things you would like to see happen, or anything else of that nature, tell me in a review!
Forgive me for uploading just an Author's Note, I know it's illegal, but I honestly could not add another proper chapter to this atrocity, not without ruining what's in my head for the new version.
