I'm pretty sure this is a big no-no - and a rather douche-y thing to do, considering it's not exactly an update - but I wasn't sure how to reach all of you that had been following this story.
I've uploaded a rewrite that you can find on my profile, which is the only version that I'll be updating from now on, and should have updates for weekly. If you liked Hound for Hire, read the new version; it's essentially the same, but I changed a few things up, condensed the story a bit, and I'm liking what I've done with it so far. And I'm curious as to what you guys think.
So, check the story out, or not, either way, thanks to everyone who has read this and continues to follow and favorite it. It means a lot that you guys are enjoying what I've written.
