Dear CYCY readers,

Lots of people have sent me messages over the years asking me to continue Can You, Can't You – and as I've told everybody who's messaged me, every single time I've tried. Unfortunately, though, I just lost the will to write that story; my writing style, ability and interests had completely changed since I started writing it, and I just never managed to write something I was satisfied with to finish it.

Recently, now that university has finished for the year, I've been working to start again. This new story will not be exactly the same as CYCY, but it will run on the same premise. It will feature Lily and James's relationship more closely than Sirius and Remus's; Peter will be more included in the group, and the characters will be more well-rounded than before. I like to think it will be a much more interesting read!

I understand if you've lost interest in the story too, and I certainly don't expect everybody who read CYCY to move over to the new story! However, if you are interested, then you can find the new version under the title 'Dare' on this account. I hope to see some of you there, and I'm sorry that the first version never concluded properly. Rest assured there were lots of happy endings!

Love, Kate.
