THIS IS AN AUTHOR NOTE. If you just want to see a chapter, there will be one up soon. I don't want to waste your time if you just want some of the normal postings, so sorry if you got excited at this notification. lol

Dear loyal LDF readers,

I just want to give you an update on this story! With the newest Jackson/Ashley or greenbone rumors floating around, I know some of you who remember this story are expecting an update! Believe me, I'm on my way and starting to update as we type/read/speak.

I hate when people give excuses for why they haven't updated in a while. Not that I hate it, but more that I ignore it and just eat up the wonderfully updated goodies, but I have a tiny little vague story to tell.

The same individual has plagiarized LDF on two separate occasions. LDF is not an original concept. In fact there's a greenbone livejournal where people write amazing fanfiction on Jackson/Ashley. But phrases, OCs (original characters), and dialogue as been copied both word-for-word and rephrased (slightly).

It's really upsetting when I'm just writing cause I love greenbone, as I'm sure you all do, and I'm just trying to have fun, but I keep getting my stuff stolen. I'm not naming names, but I just want to ask all of you that if you see something, say something.

There aren't many greenbone fics on here, because they technically aren't allowed, but if you see one that you think may have more than just a similar concept, please let me know via PM or my twitter account. I'm afraid this girl will continue to steal this story until I ignore her.

So I've been trying to write, but every time I sit down to do so, I'm kind of bummed out since the drama with this girl. She keeps backing out and "one of her friends" reviewed this story with a nasty comment. I never badmouthed or harassed her, I just asked her to take down the first story and she did without responding. Now with this new story, she's kept it up and blocked me and threatened to report me—for what I can't say.

Anyways…

I love you all and there will be a new chapter up as soon as possible! I'm so excited to see Jackson and Ashley out and about together and am squeeing at the dating rumors in the tabloids!

Thank you for all your support,

PS Hardwired is coming back as well. I'm three pages into the next chapter. The dinner scene is heating up. :)
