AUTHOR'S NOTE: Ugh, I HATE it when other people do this—write a chapter entirely out of an author's note. But I am literally in between fanfics (The Waves Creep Up on the Shore and Facing the Ashes) and I really need to finish one first to focus on the other one.

Since I know most people (or at least, I) always ignore polls on profiles, I decided to post here. Don't review for this unless you're anonymous, send me a private message telling me which one I should finish first. (That's not to say I won't work on both, I just won't update as often for one than the other.)

Thank you for your input, and I PROMISE that the next chapter won't be crappy like this one. After a few people have PM'd me, I'll have the results and will post on my profile which one will be done first. Thanks again!
