Hello readers. If you got to this page through an e-mail link, you are a beautiful, beautiful person. That, or you haven't gotten around to taking me off your alert list... Anyway. Firstly, I would like to apologize for abandoning the series like I did. I lost interest in the story and stopped working on it completely. But, I have started writing again. I have published my first one-shot for the Xenosaga series and am currently working on a story that I hope will be as epic as the game itself. I am also working on a Naruto story at the same time. Each story is still in the making, with twenty or more pages to the first chapters with much more to come. This has compelled me to not only revive the 'Family Matters' series, but to redo it. The chapters will not only be much longer, but there will be more of them and I am stopping all my other projects until the first Family Matters is redone, because if got to this page because Mr. told there was an update to this story, then you sure as hell deserve it. I am also going to take this opportunity to try my hand at writing lemon and any other citrus-y form of writing I can think of. For those of you uncomfortable with such content or if you are too young for that stuff (in which case you really shouldn't be reading this story), fear not, for I have taken you prudes into consideration.
If a chapter has lemon in it, it will be posted first with a lemon-free version posted afterward. I will put an 'M' after the title of the lemony version. It will look something like this:
2. Chapter 2 (M) -- This version contains lemon.
3. Chapter 2 -- This one does not.
Ta-da. I will use this form of warning for all my future stories. Now, the main plot of the story will remain the same and many elements of the chapters will as well, but I will be going into much more detail and taking much more time with my writing, because reading over the story, I found it to be rushed and not as in depth as I would like it to be. The original will be kept on the site until I have finished the renewal, because I will be simply adding to the chapters that already exist. It will be like my own little Frankenstein's monster. Muahahaha. Ha. Anyway. If you want to re-read the original and compare it to the new version, you have every right to do so, in fact, I encourage. I would like your input on what you would like redone and how you would like it, so send your requests in the form of a review to this notice.
I will start redoing the story on Saturday, but I don't know when I will finish it. Many chapters may end up combined and others taken out and redone completely, I don't know yet. What I do know is that they will all be gloriously long and hopefully worth the wait.
I am also considering changing my pen name, but have no ideas what to use. If you have any suggestions, please post it in a review or e-mail me. My email address is on my profile page will also be recieving some attention.
Thank you, for your patience.
