This is the message I sent out a few minutes ago but I decided I'd post it up on the story as well for my guest readers:

Hey guys! I'm sending out this message to everyone who follows and/or favorites my story 'Fire & Ice' because last night something horrible happened with it. After I posted the 12th chapter to the story I went back on and the first 6 chapters of the story were deleted. I no longer have the documents of these chapters on my computer either. I emailed Fanfiction yesterday but still haven't received a response as to if there was anyway I could get these chapters back. Long story short, I'm messaging all of you in hopes that you might have copies of the first 6 chapters of 'Fire & Ice' somewhere. If I'm not able to get these chapters back I don't think I'll be continuing with the story. Trust me I really want to, I've actually been pretty proud of this story so far and I think it's been my best yet but I don't see the point in continuing a story that's missing the first 6 chapters. I honestly cried when I realized what had happened so I'm praying that I'll be able to recover these chapters one way or another. Thank you all for your endless support.
