A Note From the Real World

I started this fanfic when I was in highschool.

I finished college without touching a lot of it, though I would add this or that background piece on the characters.

Now I'm working, and I'm still getting the occasional touch from someone - it's insane that there are *people* reading this story, and I am touched immensely. It's 1 am where I am, I'm off to lecture in some hall, my life has had so many ups and downs - and yet this story is still here.

For those reasons I just want to say to those who've read this story: I'm still alive, and I still want to write it. The characters greet me with my earlier naivete and clipped style of writing; I hope the long years I have been away will bring something worthy to the table.

I simply posted this to say thank you to everyone who is still here reading this story. You guys are awesome.

As a bit of a spoiler, the story's actual genre will shift to a more slice-of-life tone.

Cheers to all of you, whoever you are in the Real World.
