This is not a chapter, but it is the story's ending. Please do not review.

I started out on this website writing 18 Tails as my first fic. Back then I liked the plot I'd imagined, and I still do. But some parts of the writing are just embarrassing for me to read now. Still, I've tried other fics - my Naruto Avatar Crossover fic the most successful and my "A Wish for the End" fic my personal favorite - but none have been as successful. This story has more views, reviews, favs, and follows than any other story. That is one of the reasons I always told myself I'd come back and finish it one day. Only now do I realize that day will never come.

Instead of fixing a broken story, I'm going to rebuild it anew. 19 Tails will have the same general story but with some changes (especially to biju lore) and better overall writing. As some of the chapters (at least at the start) are going to be copy pasted with major changes in the worst sections and minor changes throughout, the first few chapters should come fairly quickly. If you're willing to go on this roller-coaster ride with me again, I hope to bring you a better experience this time through as we eventually reach the end of our story together.

If you're not willing to check out the new story, I can't blame you. It is hard to commit yourself to a story for 50 thousand words and then have an author simply say that it's over. I thank you for reading 18 Tails, though, and helping me start my hobby as a fanfic writer. You people have helped encourage me to do something fun and new by writing for this site and, even if I'd like to put the memory of 18 Tails behind me, I will not put the memory of your contributions to rest.

Regardless, I encourage you to read my work and the work of other, better, authors on this site and review all of our work to help us keep writing. With that I'll simply have to say good luck, good night, and thank you.
