AUTHOR'S NOTE:

9 July 2008

To my readers,

Thank you for even bothering to keep up with me for so long. This story (The Way You Make Me Feel) was first released in 2003 which is...a hell of a long time ago. loL I know that I've left you all hanging for two years and, for that, I'm sorry. I am, however, in the process of completely rewriting the fic.

This story has been bothering me for ages and when I went back to re-read it, was actually appalled by how poorly it was written. So I would like to redeem myself (for my own sake, probably) by rewriting it and giving you the same fic but newer, better, and (hopefully) much better written. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to release the chapters as I write them (which is what I did last time) or if I'm going to try to finish it all first before I post. I think I'll ask you all to wait a little while longer, because I'd like to finish it and post it all for you to read. I owe you. :)

A lot of things will change- setting, characters- but the plot will remain largely the same, skewed in the same direction I had always intended. I think that for a while, I was stuck because I'd written myself into a hole and couldn't figure out a way to get out.

Some things that I'm sure I'll be asked about:

-Yes, Harry and Draco are still together.

-Yes, Draco is still unbelievably flamboyant. But I've toned it down to make it less childish and more...gay.

-Fleur is still ill. (I find it funny that so many fics center around her being veela as being an illness.)

-I'm changing the setting into the magical world. I feel like it was a mistake on my part to try to set it in the Muggle world last time.

-Post DH, but I'm going to pretend the Epilogue doesn't exist.

If anyone else has any other questions, please leave a comment or email me please don't email me to ask/harass me about when I'm updating and why haven't you updated yet oh my god I need you to update I need something to read please update soon because I'll just ignore them and probably hold off updating just for spite. However, I am open to questions and suggestions from anyone. Also, please don't be afraid to IM me- I'm surprisingly friendly, I promise. I'd love to get some personal, real time, one-on-one feedback so, really, please don't hesitate. All I ask is that you don't harass me about when I'm updating.

Thank you for your continued support. I can't give you a release date yet, but hopefully it'll be soon instead of in another two years.

Yours,

vR
