I want to take this moment to apologize for a couple things.

First off, I'm sorry for posting this "apology note" here in my story and making it look as though I've finally updated (after a year or so). Believe me, if I were you I'd want to rip dear old Munkymuppet's throat out as well.

Next, I feel the need to apologize for my desperately long delay. Whenever I'm reading a book I absolutely hate those stand-still cliff hangers that leave you anxious for more so I know it must be terrible to be stuck with a year long cliff hanger. Rest assured, however, that during that whole year I've been working my butt off on this unnecessarily long story (and I've got the carpal tunnels syndrome to prove it!). The issue is, simply put, that writing an ending to a fan fic that I started three years ago is a very difficult task to accomplish. I don't want to say good-bye to these characters any more than little kids want to say good-bye to the delusion of Saint Nick. I mean, sure, I could write a sequel (just like Louis Sachar wrote Armpit's follow-up), but the idea of a sequel to Camp Lakeway (my obsessive tribute to Holes) seems a bit ridiculous. After all, my characters live in separate areas of Texas and it'd be slightly difficult to keep a tab on all of them throughout a whole novel. And although it'd be easy to accomplish, I'm not sure I really want to forget about all these characters and focus on a whole new group of Green Lake delinquents in another book.

Despite my disapproval of a sequel I have begun a prequel to Camp Lakeway so that the Lakeway girls' history becomes a bit clearer. The story begins with Rogue's arrival at Camp Lakeway and primarily focuses on the girls' stay at the juvenile correctional facility before their Warden dies and they're shipped off to Camp Green Lake. I do plan on posting this as it will allow everyone to get to know the D-tent characters a little bit better, but I can't promise when it'll show up on this site.

Because... you know... I'm undependable like that.

Yeah, I suppose that's another thing I need to add to my list of apologies.

Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone for the support they've given me throughout these three years of work and I really hope that once I am ready to kiss these characters good-bye and post the final chapters of my "masterpiece" (yeah right) you enjoy the end of Camp Lakeway.

Ciao!
