Hello, everyone!

This isn't a new chapter or a second epilogue (sorry if I gave you false hope), but it does contain some pretty important news.

I started planning/writing Seven Reasons Why more than a year and half ago. At that point, I was just starting my sophomore year of high school - I was still pretty immature and naive. I wanted to write a darker, angsty story, but at the same time I really didn't know how to accomplish that, and how to showcase that through my writing. I was still pretty much a kid - not to say that I'm not right now, but I think I've grown, as a person and as a writer.

Now that I look back at this story, I'm slightly ashamed that my most popular writing (and my only complete multi-chapter story... don't judge me?) is littered with grammar mistakes, awkward sentences, and abrupt revelations. It's not something that I would enjoy reading myself - in fact, I'd probably wonder why it was so popular in the first place (which I still do). Also, the writing style is a complete contrast from the first chapter and the last, showing how much I've grown.

This can mean one thing, and one thing only: edits.

So yes, this story will be going through edits in the near (but not that near) future, and author's notes will most likely be removed as well. Please don't think of this as a ploy to get more reviews by "cheating." I'm still learning a lot from being on this site and it's just a personal writer thing. The fact that my less-than-stellar writing is up on here makes me feel icky.

I'm not entirely sure if I'll be taking all the chapters down or if I'll just replace one at a time - I'm leaning towards the first option, just because it would be really awkward for someone to read a newer version of chapters 1 through 3 and then a crappy version of chapter 4 and onward - but if you have any preferences, let me know.

Also, if you have any questions at all, PM me instead of reviewing so that it doesn't add to the review count.

Thanks for all your love and support this past year and a half, and I hope you will continue to do so!
