Hello everyone! Imaginary Owls here with some news!

So, it's been four years since my last authors note saying that I was Revising Taking Chances, and after reading that, I have to say this: I'm revising the revision of Taking Chances.

The revision was made four years ago… and a lot can happen to a writers ability in four years…as Gravity's Momentum is a perfect example of that. So in the old revision Alyssa's name was changed, and while the first name is still going to remain Elladora, her last name is Floyd and later turned Black. I feel as though Floyd flows a bit better. Elladora Vivienne Floyd/Black sounds a lot better. And so does her mother's name which has been changed to Ariella Floyd/Black.

Now, again, some of you may be against the revision, I've still gotten some favorite and follows notifications for Taking Chances, and I honestly can say: Thank every single one of you – even the OG readers who were with me from the very beginning in 2009 when I wrote this horrific fanfiction in my sophomore year of high school. Now I am in college and revising this and it feels a little surreal.

Story wise, the fanfic is going to be relatively the same. It will start in Prisoner Azkaban and all the way through Deathly Hallows and will carry on after that.

I will say… this fanfic will be a bit… AU. Some of the pairings that were endgame in the series, will not be so in my fanfiction. What they are, I cannot and will not say just yet because: Spoilers. That is up for you all to decide and try and guess. I can say this: You may be able to guess what the pairing may end up being by the end of the Taking Chances Revision.

Alyssa/Elladora will change a lot. She won't be the same girl from this fic, again my writing abilities have grown a lot in 8 years and so has my ability to create better and more in-depth characters that are more three-dimensional. I will tell you that Elladora for the first book and a half, is a very quiet and introverted girl; she is also very genuine, caring, giving, and kind hearted girl – but as the story will go on in later books and as she grows older, she becomes a very jealous person which causes her to be a bit bitter and to lash out on those she's jealous of. Who she'll be jealous of, well you're going to have to see. But despite being a jealous person, she still retains that kind heartedness she had as a 13 year old girl.

I am really excited for this revision! I really am. It'll dive more into her relationship with Remus especially in the first story, it'll also show a more in depth relationships between her and the other characters. Some you wouldn't expect her to end up being very close too she ends up close too, and the ones you do expect she won't be (a little hint/spoiler: Hermione, but you'll see as the story goes on by the end of it –muwahahaha).

I am also going to be writing a prequel for this story called the same title as this: Taking Chances because to me, it feels more of a Ariella and Sirius kind of story (Especially since the title was inspired by the song Taking Chances by Celine Dion, the song fits the two of them quite well). I am also going to be writing a Remus/OC story! I'm really excited about that one, because I don't think its been done before – at least not that I have read.

So that is my update on Taking Chances, there will be a new title what it is I do not know yet, but I'll have "TAKING CHANCES REVISION" in the summary somewhere :).
