So it's been what, 2 or so months since I've last updated the story? Understandably I've received quite a lot messages asking when the new chapter was coming and other such things. That said here is an update and the most important part of this little post, this story is dead in the water. If you wish to stop reading this now feel free to, I won't blame you. For those of you looking for reasons for this then please continue reading.

I actually began work on a new chapter days after I uploaded the latest one and was actually quite happy about the new-ish direction it seemed to be going in. Bout 4000 or so words into it I hit a wall. I have tried numerous times to overcome that wall with no luck. Now when I even think of the story I get minor headache and I hate that. The reasons for this? A lot. There is a lot I wish I could've done with this story and like I've said before it needs a facelift. Unfortunately this would be the third revision/remake of the entire story and that is something I know a lot of people would not exactly be happy with. A lot of the mistakes and errors has to do with my own newness to this whole writing fanfiction thing. There is a lot of evidence of my stumblings as a beginning writer in this fic and whole helluva lot more in the first incarnation of this story. Kyram helped get rid of a lot of that with the later chapters of this one, but there aint no hiding a lot of those fuck ups.

Another huge contributor to said fuck ups has to do with my letting the readers have maybe a little too much say in the story. I myself had only a small idea of what I wanted out of this fic and so turned to the readers to get some opinions and such. At first it was the harem, then it grew. It worked just fine for awhile…until this story somehow ballooned out of fucking nowhere and got "famous" or at least more well known than I knew how to deal with. Then there was a fucking cacophony of people arguing back and forth in the reviews and shit. At that point I had let it get to such a point that I had no way of possibly solving it.

I could go on and on about where I think I went wrong with this story but here is the bottom line. I fucked up. I now no longer have the drive nor want to even attempt to work on this story. Does that suck? Hell yeah it does. This was my "crowning jewel" and I took a lot of joy seeing that review count climb higher and higher. As a new writer hitting 100 reviews was like "HOLY SHIT" for me. Now? Well shit last I checked there was something like 1000 of you fucks following this story and that just blew my damn mind. I enjoyed bragging to my friends about this story, and even better having my friend Phoenix do some badass art for it.

Sadly that has come to an end. Will I redo or even continue this fic? Possibly but that won't be for a long while. Right now I am more than enjoying the fun of writing my Pokemon, Naruto x Dishonored, Bleach, and an in the works fic. They are vastly different from this story and show a much higher quality of style and direction than this fic ever did, at least in my opinion. Would be cool if you guys ventured over there to check em out. As for those curious ones I will say that the work in progress fic has to do with RWBY, which is something I got bugged quite a lot to do.

I must thank you all for being awesome and giving me this, the great feeling of having successful fic. I am sorry that I have to back out of this right now. It sucks and I kind of hate myself for doing it, but I feel it's got to be done.

If anyone wants to take up this fic or ask about the unfinished chapter then feel free to pm me and we'll chat.

Thank you again guys for this. I won't be taking either this or the old version down so that way I can always have it as a sort of trophy and benchmark. Hopefully someday I can surpass this story in numbers. I know for a fact I've already begun to surpass it in quality. Again I can't thank you enough. Despite all the ups and downs, the flames, and all the other crap it was fun. I got to meet some pretty awesome people and even briefly exchanged some words with one of my favorite authors, The Engulfing Silence. Who knows, maybe one of my other fics will get the attention of my other favorite authors *COUGH COUGH WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE*.

It's been swell guys! Sadly I don't think this will be an "Until next chapter" goodbye. For now it's time to lay this fic and idea to rest, maybe for a bit, and maybe forever. I love you bastards, even the assholes who have flamed and will flame cuz they make me chuckle.

PEAAAACCEEEE

OUUUUUTTTTT
