Author's Note: Hello. I would like to post an update just to clear my conscience on this story.

First, I would like to apologize to everyone that anticipated this story's conclusion. I kept promising and promising that I would return and finish it, but real life along with other factors have kept that ambition down, leading to me sadly forgetting about this altogether. For everyone that sent their OC's in and waited to see what would happen next, I offer my sincerest apologies for never updating.

Cleotak was my biggest project for a long time, in a time where that was only my second story on this site. I should've known that I wasn't quite ready to tackle something like this, but I tried my best.

Along the way, I've met some really good people who've supported me and my ambitions no matter what, and I can't thank them enough. From challenge ideas, to just simple words of encouragement, everything I received made my day one way or another. Thank you for helping me grow.

And with that, comes the news I would like to announce. To better this story altogether, and for those that helped me make it, I would like to propose an idea, one that will only happen if enough people go with it:

I would like to remake Cleotak Island.

It's been about a year since the last update, and a few years since it's creation. Believe it or not, I was just a young kid finishing their freshman year of high school when I began. Nowadays, I've finished high school altogether, graduating and heading to college soon. This simple change in my life has allowed me enormous amounts of free time, and will help better my craft. Rereading my older work, I think I rushed just to get the next chapter out a lot.

With my personal life beginning to change, I would also like to start anew, as amnesty to those who've checked my story and never got their update.

I would be going through submissions again, along with changing my own character. He was a project that didn't go the way I hoped he would. I think I would be shortening the roster just a bit, maybe going to 15 or 16.

For those interested in the revival of Cleotak Island, either review or send me a PM with your approval, as well as if you want me to use your character again, or a new one.

Again, I would like to thank everyone who has read this story, as one of my favorite things to do was to just check the view count, and see SO MANY people read my silly story on the internet. Words couldn't describe how I felt seeing the diversity of who and where my story was being read.

If Cleotak isn't meant to be, however, I would simply start anew. This story will always stay up as a memory of how this has impacted my life, and I would love to do it justice by remaking it if the interest is there. I appreciate you all!
