This is not a new chapter.
I cant believe it's been 4 years. I am so sorry to everyone who was or still is following this story. Who liked this story. Where do I even start.
First of all, the reasons for my absence. A lot has happened in 4 years. Some horrifying, some sad and some wildly happy. Basically; life. But life to such an extent that I could not, at any moment, try to continue this novice story. Something I loved at the time but was no longer important, given my circumstances. I got and still have cancer (don't worry I am fine), my sister died in a freak accident leaving her 3 children behind and in need of care and we, my family, moved across the country and bought our first house. There is a lot in between obviously, but those are the bullet points.
Secondly, I will not be completing this story. It doesn't seem fair to not have a conclusion though. I cannot write it myself as I am not the same person I was when I started this journey. Not even close. I have irreversably and completely changed in soul, mind and body. It would feel as though it was written by 2 different authors, which actually, sounds like a good idea.
SO I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. I release this work into the FFN ether. Do with it what you will. Take the the whole work, word for word, and republish finishing it on your own terms. Take the idea of Shakespears taming of the shrew and a SSHG story and make it your own. Take what i wrote and edit it to how you prefer adding your own to it. All of these are valid and you will hear no complaint from me. If anyone out there deems this story worth it, put it in the comments, send me a DM, I would love to read your work. Perhaps also beta for you if you like.
I know this is probably unconventional, but convention is overrated.
Be well, stay kind, live life.
