Hello everybody. I'd like to talk about this story. When I first started writing this story, I had so much hope for it. It seemed like so much fun and, while it was fun at the beginning, I lost a lot of interest in the story. After the first 'lemon', if you may call it that, it felt like I was going nowhere with the story.

I had a lot I'd love to do to the story. I had so many ideas I could have done, so much plot I'd have loved to do, and so many pairings I'd do. I wanted it to be a different story that wasn't 100% smut. This story was going to have smut, and a bit of it eventually, sure, but it was more plot than anything. However, I have lost a lot of interest in it.

Now, I don't mean to sound like I hate my story. I'm in no way saying that. This is the first fic I was ever taking serious and actually was the first one to get me back into writing. I used to write but nothing was ever good. This one was actually a really good story in my opinion. Some of the reviews also added to that.

With that being said, I have done a lot of thinking. As mentioned, I have lost a lot of interest in writing this. I have had a lot of trouble over that past month trying to continue where I left off. But none of the paths I wanted to take would have worked. With that, I'm sad to inform you that, as of today, 8\6\2014, I will be stopping the continuation of A New Hope.

Now, I will be stopping THIS version. Over time, I may do a full scale rewrite when I finish Volunteers Dream. Right now, Volunteers Dream is my main priority. I have a very good idea of what I'm going to do in that story. Typing this long thing out, I'm actually considering turning Volunteers Dream into the same plot area of what this story was going to be. I'm still unsure.

So, to sum everything up, I'm cancelling A New Hope. I won't be updating this fic ever again. I'm very sorry to those who have enjoyed it and were looking forward to a new update. Seeing as I won't be updating, I figure I might as well tell where I was going to go with this story.

Back on Chapter 3, I had hinted at Casey's lover, who's name I never mentioned, 'dissapearing' when he went on a 'vacation'. That was a lie he had told her. He was actually an anti-Pokephiliac who did have relations with her to get to the city. This man, whom I dubbed as Damon Rafe, was the leader of a growing group of Anti-Pokephiliacs known as Anti-Pokephiliac Specialists, or A.P.S. for short.

I was going to have Sen move onto being part of the group of individuals who take down Anti-Pokephiliacs and, one day, move onto Rafe and take him down. Casey would find out and be heart broken where Sen would be there for her. They'd end up falling in love with eachother. Before Rafe is to be taken down, he finds the location of the city and a full-scale war happens as Rafe and many Anti-Pokephiliacs attack the city and Casey is killed in the war.

Dark? Perhaps, but it's what I had planned.

So yeah, you know the "plot" I was taking now. Sure, I had more planned, but that was the basics of what I was doing.

Again, to those who have been hoping for an update, I'm truly sorry. I might do a rewrite at some point in the distant future but I'm not sure. It's hard to say. Now, I'll be listing the people who have been here, leaving reviews, followers, and those who have favorited the story as well as those who have sent in OC's. I was going to put them in alphabetical order but, alas, I'm fucking lazy. So I'll just leave them in the order I saw them.
