Hi!

So…. It's been a while. I know, understatement of the year (or more) that I've been absent in. I've been actively working on fanfics here and there in between living my adult life. There have been job changes, financial changes, and many (so many) adventures with my wonderful collective of friends.

About 3 years ago, before I started hanging with all these wonderful people, I would come home from work every night and decompress from my awful job by writing fanfiction. Weekends were dedicated to updating because I had nothing else to do or anyone to see.

That's all changed, and I wouldn't go back to the person I was for anything. The trade off has been not being able to sit down for any length of time to work on my stories. But like I said, I have actively been working on them. I've been jotting down plot ideas for the works in progress, and even started posting on AO3. (I've broken into Anime fanfics and started reposting How to Date a Slytherin).

Which is a perfect segue for me to announce that I will be moving to AO3 officially once I finish the plot for How to Marry a Slytherin and Never Too Late. Also, I am officially cancelling Whispers in the Dark II, because the plot I originally wrote for this fic just doesn't work. I may revisit it in the future and try to rework my ideas to make the plot more believable, or just better, but it's not at the top of the list. I will be taking that fic down.

I will leave all other fics here, but once the above two are finished I will not be posting anything else on FFN.

Also, this note will only be up until I post another chapter in HtMaS and NTL, then I will post an update in my profile.

Now I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU, thank you so much for the Favorites, Follows, and Reviews I have been getting the past month on my Slytherin fics and NTL. I was waking up every morning for about three weeks to dozens and dozens of reviews and hits on my stories. I can't even begin to describe how much this meant to me. So, again, thank you so much to everyone who has been reading and sharing and reviewing on my fics. It gave me the push I needed to really try and break back into this and find the motivation I needed to finish my stories.

I did read them, I do hear you. I am here, and I will continue writing. For those of who still hanging in there and waiting to see that update in your email for a new chapter…I'm sorry this isn't a real chapter, but I do have one coming soon. I have been taking bits and pieces I wrote at the very beginning and finally pasting them together into a solid plot for HtMaS.

NTL may not have an update for a while still. I don't know yet. We'll see how the writing goes before I make any promises. I would like to finish fic before I commit myself to another one. Because….I have come up with two more new fics that I can not wait to start writing. I am so excited for this since I will be writing my very first Drarry fic.

I think that's enough for now. I am going to start working on the next chapter for HtMaS. Keep an eye on your inboxes!
