Well guys, I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this but alas: I officially have to call this a dead fic.

As some of you know, I had been writing chapter 12 and I was nearly finished with it, but two weeks ago, my home was broken into and my laptop got stolen. Poopy. I don't want to bore y'all, but I've been dealing with a lot in the past few years and it's just really sucked the life out of me. To put it shortly, CCiM has just been sitting around and waiting for me to finish, but I find I just don't have the energy or spirit for pretty much anything anymore.

I really, really have appreciated everyone's thoughtfulness and kind words. I can't believe that I still get people asking me to finish this story; it always makes my day. You guys are awesome and I'm really touched by everyone who's taken the time to tell me how much they like my amateur writing.

I'd like to get into writing fanfiction again, but for now, I have to call it quits.

Thanks,

Funk-tastic
