Dear Readership,

I don't know how to begin this, because it's very hard to say. You should know that I've pushed this off for long enough, and you deserve an explanation. Unfortunately, I am putting this story on hold until further notice. The reason for abrupt halt is that I am currently working on an original fiction that is consuming all of my time. It's tiring to write, and sadly, I just cannot push myself to work on two projects at the same time and make reasonable progress on both.

On occasion, I may come back and spit out a one-shot, but long-term projects are a no. Once I finish my manuscript, I may come back and complete this story. I hope I will. I don't want to leave the story hanging here. On the bright side, this may be as soon as just a few months, which I know you've all waited at least that long for a chapter.

It seems like a very short time, but actually, I've been writing fanfiction for years. I've been with Rei and Sesshoumaru for over two years. This is incredibly hard for me. They're both staring at me very angrily right now. Sesshoumaru looks like he's about to gouge my eyes out. Calm down, buddy, I still love you the same. Always.

I apologize for doing this. Nobody can feel worse about it than me, truly. I've read tons of fanfic authors who have abandoned their WIPs to concentrate on an original fic. It annoyed the crap out of me, and now I'm doing the same thing. A million sorry's.

Lastly, I want to say thank you for reading "Fairytale" and following to "Something Ever After." I am overwhelmed by your patience and enthusiasm. You really are the greatest people in the whole world. If I ever decide not to come back period, you are free to contact me and I will tell you how "Something Ever After" was supposed to end. But I don't think it'll come to that. So this is not goodbye, goodbye. It's more of a see you later.

Love always,

icy roses.
