IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hey guys, Zed here. So, it's been a while (ALMOST THREE YEARS YOU FUCKING SHITHEAD!) since I updated this fanfic.

Firstly: Even though I realize it's not exactly mandatory I do this, I would like to apologize for ghosting this story, I gave the HIATUS notice with no plan of returning to this fic in all honesty. Abridged, life happened, hard. And I had to step back from a lot of things for a while, I wasn't in a proper headspace to concentrate on myself talk less of a work of fanfiction. Fortunately, I've been able to climb out of a very dark place, and I'm glad I'm writing again.

Secondly: This story isn't dead. Yes you heard that right. I do plan to continue this story in the future, but be informed, I mean the future. I've grown as both a person and a writer these passing years, thus I have an entirely different writing style and much more experience. I reread the three chapters of this fic, and it's not as though I dislike it, but I realize I want to do something entirely different with this concept. But, I am currently writing another fanfiction, a PowerPuff Girls fanfic titled "Old Wounds" and that is where my primary focus currently lies. So, though I have even actually roughed out an outline for this story, I will not be working on it specifically.

Thirdly: Like I said, I want to do something completely different with this story, something darker. A different tone, a different storyline, more or less the same characters with a few subtractions etc. I thought of deleting it entirely until I post the new, revitalized version, but I think it'd be better to leave it on since quite a few of you (even now, thank you for your support) already have it on alert. So after posting this announcement, I'm just going to replace the first chapter's contents with it after a few days. So when I re-focus on this story, you'll all be aware.

P.S: I apologize to those who enjoyed the fic particularly for its concept and tonality, you are of-course free to disable your alert subscriptions if you feel you wouldn't be interested any longer.

Fourthly: With the inevitably of isolation as a result of this pandemic. I'll be updating my PPG fic at a considerably quick pace...(this basically means a chapter per month/three weeks for me. Yes, the chapters I write are that long and need that time to be intricately reviewed. I like to think I take my writing more seriously now lol)...so I'm not about to disappear for another three years before coming back, I ensure you. In-fact, and though this may sound impractical, I'd actually have no issue getting to a comfortable enough place in my PPG fic and begin to dual write both fics (I tend to have a severe case of hyper seclusion HaHa) as I've managed to do so in the past.

Fifthly: We are all going through such trying times with the outbreak of this God forsaken COVID-19 disease and I genuinely hope you are all doing okay. I don't want to bullshit you about maintaining positivity, but we should all try our best to keep our heads up for as long as we have to fight this disease. One day, and this much is true, we will be able to roam the streets freely again, visit family and friends and live again. This virus perfectly highlights the apathetic nature of this world, all the things we live by having to be halted for a singular threat should allow us understand that ultimately, we are just part of a sum, and we have no excuse not to stay united during this period

Okay, I'm done prattling lol. I hope you understand why I've been MIA for so long. Thank you regardless again for the support you showed this story, it meant, and still means a lot. Wear your masks, wash your hands, keep your distance and don't rely on your pullout game.

Note: I'm serious, use a condom.

Until next time :)

~Zed~
