Hi everyone. I'm leaving this note to explain why I haven't posted any fanfics lately. I've made the decision to pursue a real writing career, and therefore must focus on my own characters. I'm sorry, Theed, and other readers of my Star Wars fanfiction. This has been good practice, but as I've been told by numerous amounts of people, I don't need any more practice. It's time to try the real thing. Readers of my story "Despair and Hope"--don't worry--I haven't given up on that. I really like that story and will continue to work on it, but it will have to be second priority, so expect new chapters to be long in coming. However, I will no longer be updating my website. Thank all of you so much for your reviews. You've really been great. If you would like to leave me a message you can e-mail me at my new address. Also, feel free to archive my stories anywhere you'd like as long as you give me full credit and leave my e-mail address for feedback. Wish me luck! Love, Kari =)
