EDIT: I will, at this moment in time, be focusing my attention on a new fanfic under the NiGHTS fandom called "La Volonte du Soleil", French for "The Will of the Sun". So, if you're interested, please come check it out! NiGHTS Needs more fans! D:

Dear Readers,

First off, allow me to grovel at your feet. Ahem,

OMG I AS SOOOOO SORRY! DON'T SPEAR ME! D:

….Ahem. Yes, well, as you can tell, I haven updated my story in over two months and I'm sure that those of you who have been waiting for the last two chapters have found yourselves disappointed and bored with waiting. For that, let me apologize again.

To tell you the truth, I've kind of lost my will to write this fic any longer. In fact, I've lost my entire Bleach mo-jo. And why is that you ask? Well, dear reader, in the span of only a month, my computer has crashed a total of three different times, and I'm sure you can only imagine the amount of data that I lost.

It was a lot.

And amongst the lost data saved onto my computer was the last chapter of Panthera Onca and its Epilogue. The epilogue was of no great loss, as it was only a mere two-an-a-half pages long, but the last chapter…..oh…that was an entirely different story! At the tome of the crash, said chapter had a total of 23 pages on Microsoft word.

Yes, you heard me right. 23 fucking pages of back-breaking, late night hard. Fucking. Work. Lost all in a matter of only an hour! Coupled with school and family issues, I'm worn the fuck out. So please forgive me when I say that I'm fucking tired.

And for those of you who are wondering if this marks the last of this fic: No. No it doesn't. I have put too much work into this story to just let it die in a fire like that. I will, at some point in the future which is unknown to even myself, attempt those long 23 pages once more, but I'm not a miracle worker and Rome wasn't built in a day, so don't expect an update at any point in the near future. Hopefully, I'll be able to convince myself to make a New Years resolution to get off my lazy, despondent ass and finish this goddamn fic, but hey, let's not shoot for the moon so soon, okay?

Anyways, I do apologize (again) for this long-assed period of no chapters, but I'm sure all is forgiven, right?

……Right?

Please forgive me,

Jiyu Nanohana
