Dear my lovely readers,

This is all I will be saying for a little while.. so read this..

So here's the deal. I'm sorry. Okay. Sorry. That's all I can say. Believe it or not, I'm trying. And believe it or not, people have taken longer than I have to update. However, the incessant messages demanding that I update are really starting to get to me. I ignored them and decided to do one big author's note. I don't plan on answering anymore either. Reviews... are great. Two PMs a day telling me that I need to update, that's not great. This is the end of the year. If you've ever been in high school, you know that means finals. Believe it or not, finals are more important than a chapter update. I know this fic is important too. It's very important to me. That's why I'm trying to be classy here in saying this, but it's a little hard when people are being rude to me. Chapters take time. I have to write out the plans, write the chapter, go over the chapter, and then have the chapter beta'd by Ellie. We are both very busy and have busy lives.

I committed to writing this fic, and I plan on following through, but it wont come before my real life things I have to deal with. And my life has been behind hectic lately. So I'm trying, I really am, but it takes time. And Ellie and I both have limited time to work on it. There are many things I do other than this, so I like to divide my time out to do everything. I'm really sorry for taking so long to update, I really am. I know it can be annoying. But you have to understand I'm trying to the best I can. Writing is a hobby to me, and many things are more important. That's the simple fact. I respect myself as a writer, and I hope others do to. In respecting myself, that means making my fics the absolute best they can be, not rushing to get something updated. I hope you'd all agree.

So I'm sorry. I hope to have an update in the near future. I hope everyone will understand, and stop sending me rude personal messages.
