Okay guys, if there's anyone still with me, I am sooooo sorry.

There really is no excuse for not updating this story for what, a year and four months? Time really does fly. Every time I go to work on this something else comes up, or it just doesn't cross my mind. I had actually given up on writing all together, and then one November night I signed in, and saw that The Tide was still getting hits. And I thought "Wow, I wonder if people are only not subscribing because of how long it has been since I updated?" because I do that.

Anyway, the point of this AN is that for the past couple of years I've been in a really bad place, and as a way to try to balance myself out with the necessities in life, and what I love to do, I'm going to try to re-start this story. No promises though, I wish I could, but my mind is really unpredictable. I'll also be going over the existing chapters and editing them and lengthening them.

So guys, if you're still getting e-mails, stick with me, just a little longer, and I will try my best to have the next chapter out by Christmas. That may seem like a long time, but given my track record it's pretty good. See, I can make jokes about it now, when it used to just depress me.
