Hey guys,

First off, I would have rather not posted this in this document seeing as how it isn't an update, but someone asked me a question and they were a guest (not that that's a problem, but I wish I had a better way to contact you!)! So I'm answering them here.

Personally, I would prefer it if you didn't continue where I left off. Despite the fact that I haven't updated this in about two years, I do still have plans to continue it, and I would rather not have it taken up by someone else. This work isn't abandoned.

Please respect my wishes~

And thank you for enjoying my work.

That being said, since I'm making this post, I should also let you guys know that I do have about half of the next chapter written out. I've had it written out for a while, but I'm in my senior year of high school and I have other things to focus on. School is definitely kicking my butt.

I don't know how many people are still in this fandom/still reading this story, but I'm still going to continue it, and hopefully there'll be an update in the near future. I won't give a specific date so that, if I don't update on that day, it's not a disappointment.

But know that I do still think about this story and definitely plan to bring it to a close!

I can also tell you guys that there will be approximately two more chapters and then this story will be done. I have everything outlined, so please be patient with me for just a little while longer.

And before I end this, I'd also like to thank you guys for your reviews. Despite my lack of response (I wish FF was like AO3 w/ a comment section so I could interact more w/ you guys) I do appreciate each and every review you guys have left me. It means the world to me to know that others enjoy my work and take the time to tell that they do. It's such a gratifying feeling, and I honestly wouldn't be continuing this if it weren't for you guys, so know that reviews really are the most precious thing that readers can give an author. I'm grateful for all of you!

Thank you for your patience,

Author xx
