Hi there.

So I know it has been forever since I updated. I had planned to work on this story extensively next week, (during my half term break) along with my Sherlock and Avengers fics, but something has come up.

While derping around earlier, I found the part of FF where you can see what communities your story has been listed in. I found that this story, along with Fighting With My Demons have been listed in a community called 'Bad Blood'. The description of this community is, and I quote – "Only terrible Vampire Diaries stories are listed here".

I know that perhaps I'm being overly sensitive and soft, but this has really hurt my feelings. Considering that all of the staff of this community have either a) not written TVD fics or b) not written any stories at all, they probably can't really judge. Either way, this has made me really insecure about my writing, and so it is with regret that I announce that this story is now on INDEFINITE HIATUS.

I have a few dedicated readers of this story, and to those people I'm sorry. I know this story is hardly the /best/ - Rhiannon Parker is quite Mary-Sueish on occasion, and Katherine is the villain as opposed to Klaus, or someone more badass. I started this series of stories when I was young and naive, and I do intend to finish this at some point. Currently, however, I have lost my motivation.

I will continue to update my Sherlock and Avengers stories on a /regular/ basis, and I hope that I will return to this one perhaps in the summer, if and when my inspiration/confidence reappears. Until then, sorry!
