Okay, so I haven't updated in a while... like, two months and three days. And I'm sorry about that.

I don't necessarily have an excuse this time, but I've been feeling this for a while now and haven't known how to phrase it. So I'm stealing (er... borrowing) a phrase that CakeIsAGoodFriend recently used and renewed the meaning for in me:

I've fallen out of love with Maximum Ride.

Not completely, no. There're still those lingering bits residing that want to re-read the series for the millionth time and write another chapter for this story, but I've always been a firm believer in that you shouldn't force what isn't there. And that drive to continue... it's not there.

Also to clear it up - no, this is not up for adoption. I mean, I had it all planned out, and it going any way else seems... wrong. Just like anyone else writing it feels weird. It's like making a blueprint for a building you're designing and overseeing the construction for, and then realizing you don't like it as much as you used to and having it being built a completely different way. All those authors out there'll get me. Hopefully.

But now that I'm thinking about it, it wouldn't be great to leave a skyscraper's structure there, as well.

Lose-meh situation, I suppose.

Another point - this is not my last fic on FF, or my last in the fandom. Perhaps in the future I'll return and write a one-shot, or my feelings for the series will be re-energized and I'll continue this of something. Can't tell right now.

Special thanks to tiftifx3, Don'tDisTheSonic, maximumgirl33, InsanityScreamsDarkness, and The Winged Nyan for the first 5 reviews, and everyone else for supporting us or telling us we sucked so we could be better. Seriously.

Love you all,
Thalia and the Crew :)
