I am sure that as you guys start reading this, you will have this feeling settling in your stomach and I assure you that I have the very same feeling weighing down on my chest.

Although it has been a few years, I myself had hoped that I might one day continue to write the next chapter of Secrets of the Worlds. I'm sorry to say that will never be the case.

The story is now almost twelve years old and I created the outline for it when I was still deeply in love and enthralled by both One Piece and Naruto. By the time I started writing SotW, I had already fallen out of love with Naruto and shortly after with One Piece.

A writer once said that it is impossible to create good art without pouring all of your heart into it.
Sadly, the time has come to accept that I have moved on from both One Piece and Naruto, and that I can no longer write this story with the love it deserves, with the love everyone who has commented on this story and encouraged me, deserves.

While I may no longer be able to write the story, I would be happy to give it away for someone else to write if they so wish. I'd provide all of the materials I had gathered for it.
If anyone would like to take over this work then you can let me know on my tumblr (serenephenix dot tumblr dot com ) since that is the site I'm most active on right now.

I want to thank everyone once more for having been so nice and kind to me. I wish you guys well.
