A message from the author:
I realize that some of you are still fans of this story. The truth of the matter is, however, that I am not. I began writing this fanfic when I was sixteen years old, and I think when one reads Childhood's Lament, my age and lack of writing experience in the beginning is quite obvious. I don't enjoy re-reading this story, and I would have to re-read it in order to finish it, so I've put off that task for quite a long time now. If not for the occasional alert I received in my email inbox, I'm pretty sure I would've dusted this entire story under the rug and forgotten all about it.
But, I did get alerts. People were still apparently favoriting and commenting on this story, and each one made me feel guiltier and guiltier for leaving the people interested in Childhood's Lament hanging. So, I decided I would wrap it up, even if I didn't quite like the figurative wrapping paper I'd been using all this time, and finally finish what has been an incomplete work for over four years.
If I thought I had an audience for it, I would probably re-make this story into something I felt a little bit more proud of, but I'm not sure if I have that opportunity. I'm not even sure if anyone will read the last few chapters of this story, but just in case someone out there will…
Childhood's Lament will be completed within a week's time. Thank you all for reading and favoriting. Maybe you'll see me again for something that's a little better, and doesn't take four years to finish. (:
