HIATUS FINISHED

Hi all! Brooke here!

It's been a really long time (over 1.5 years?) since I last updated this story. I had a lot of personal troubles going on at the time and as those cleared up I just began losing interest in writing and reading fics. I've grown up a lot and my love for writing has returned sort of, so I'd like to give this a try again. However, I don't know how many people are still going to be reading this particular fic.

I guess I'm using this post to serve two purposes; firstly, gauge how many people are still interested in this, and secondly to announce that I'm going to start rewriting (independent of how much attention this post gets) the past 14 chapters. I read through the whole story and my grammar and storytelling ability was not the best at my tender 15 years of age. It's going to be a slow process though! I'd like to get at least 2 chapters rewritten/corrected a week starting now or next week and when I'm done with that I might just leave it at that and write an open ending last chapter for closure or actually continue the fic depending on how many people are actually interested in seeing it continue for good.

With all this said, if you'd be interested in seeing this random fic I began writing when I was an angsty teenager please let me know because it would be a fantastic hobby for this year.

One last thing, if I continue this story or write the aforementioned possible last chapter the hiatus announcement and this new announcement will be deleted for the sake of continuity and to make everything tidy and nice.

Thank you all and we might begin seeing each other more now! Thanks for all the support this story gets even nowadays, I still love reading all your reviews.

Goodbye and I hope this goes on!

UPDATE: It took some time but Chapters 1 and 2 have had some work done and I consider them mostly done now, corrected some grammar and some other errors and added some stuff for the sake of coherency and to add some to the story seeing as how I feel my writing was pretty bare-bones back then. I hope to have Chapter 3, 4 and maybe 5 tomorrow. Finally, thank you all so much for the excitement you guys showed for this post, it definitely got me back on track!

UPDATE 2: Did Chapter 3 and 4 today, I'd recommend starting to re-read these chapters right now and wait for me to update the others if you're interested in this story or wait until I rewrite and correct them all just to be all caught up and refreshed when I write a new chapter. Anyways I'll try to get Chapter 5 and 6 done tomorrow and if I'm lucky 7 could be done too which would get me halfway through the whole story.

UPDATE 3: Chapter 5 is now updated, 6 and 7 coming tomorrow :)

UPDATE 4: Chapter 6 is now updated too.

UPDATE 5*: I started a new story to get the creative flow going but this is still the main fic I wanna work on, but to be honest, fixing chapters I already wrote is pretty boring, but I want to get it done anyway. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you checked out the story! It's a Sasuke x Naruto friendship and maybe SasuNaru later on fic that focuses on their differences and how they really need each other, it's different to this one in some redaction ways but I think some people here could enjoy it.
