Hello! So as you can see, this is not a new chapter. I feel like I should come clean to those who still follow this story/who are waiting for an update. I've fallen out of love with the way I have written this story. A lot has happened in my life over the last year and each time I think about returning to this story, I feel uninspired. Having written what I have of it (which is a handful of more chapters than what are published here) I find myself mapping out this story more clearly in my mind. My writing has also developed substantially since I began this story and I can't find my heart in this writing.

HOWEVER, don't fret. I am going to continue this story, but after some major work shopping of the chapters I have. The story will remain up as it is now while I do and then all of the current chapters and the ones I haven't published will be posted once they are how I would currently prefer them to be. That is to say, once the new version of the chapters are ready, the current ones will be removed and replaced. I really really love this story and desperately want to finish because I have a very cool idea for the end, so pretty please, bear with me while I do this. All I would ask is that you answer one question for me. Once the current and new chapters are work shopped and ready for uploading, how would you prefer to get them? All at once? Once a week? Pretty please let me know and I'll do which ever is preferred most. This isn't the most ideal way to handle this but I've found myself contemplating this story more and more over the last few weeks and have decided I need to act on it. Thank you for your understanding and time.
