To Whom Have this Story on Alert and Perhaps Haven't Seen What I've Done:

First of all, I want to apologize to my old readers of this story.

I know, long ago, I said I'd finish this fanfic. I had some troubles with life but I promised everyone Song of Memory would be completed.

I was also about 14 years old at the time when I started, and about the time the story died off, I was just entering high school.

Now I've aged quite a bit and am finally out of high school (well, I've been out of high school for quite some time now…) and despite busy college schedules, I find myself with plenty of more time to brainstorm. Plus, now that I've matured, I'm hoping my writing has as well, and is tens of times more enjoyable than what I was cranking out when I was 14.

And for those of you who read 'First Time For Everything', yes, I was a 14 year old writing all them potty words. Oops.

I came back to this story because I happened to have written a Vampire Hunter D fic, and went ahead and re-read my old stuff. Truth be told, I was horrified I had published this sort of crap, but going back to the reviews, I noticed I mostly only got praise. A lot of people loved this story and wanted more and more of it. I promised and failed to deliver.

So, in essence to all the fans who may have missed it and need a little nudge, I wanted to tell you that I have started to re-write Song of Memory and am posting the re-write as I get it done under the story, Song of Memory: Redux. So far there are six chapters, and all chapters after 3 are completely re-worked and original.

For sake of comparison and if you want a cheap laugh, I'm keeping the original story up here, but if you wish to see it continued (and end) please refer to Redux. I can't say writer's block and laziness have been cured by the passing of time, but lack of creativity/interest/computer problems have.

I invite you all back to read the newest Song of Memory, and regardless if you do or don't, I still thank you all for keeping me going when I was young. If not for all of you, I'd have lost interest in writing long ago.
