Dear reader(s),

As you've probably guessed from my lengthy update hiatus, I am not going to continue writing this story. I apologize to those of you who were previously attached to it (because if we're being honest, you should've forgotten about it by now), but I can't find it in me to continue writing this. I've gotten to the point in my writing that I no longer need to use other people's characters, settings, and general plots in order to create a story. This fanfiction was a way for me to test the waters when I was just starting out some five years ago and now I've grown to the point where my thoughts and creations are independent of others. Do not take this as me saying that fanfiction is for weak authors or something of the sort, I don't believe that and neither should you. It's interesting to see what other people would have done with certain plots and what all could have happened. There's a certain appeal to reading fanfictions, one that I'm not sure I'll ever fully outgrow. For now, I know that my enamorment for writing for this site is, unfortunately, coming to an end. I may finish off some of my stories on this website, but I won't make promises that I can't keep. If you are interested in reading any of my works or are purely curious to see how much I've grown as an author (and trust me, I've made monumental growth), you can find me on Wattpad under the username KristinSomethingOrAnother. On that account, I have an original novel posted that gets updated just about every other week. I may be posting some of the book-based fanfictions I have lazing about on my laptop.

For now, I know that my enamorment for writing for this site is, unfortunately, coming to an end. I may finish off some of my book-based stories here, but I won't make promises that I can't keep. I can tell you that I have little to no intentions of continuing my anime-based fanfictions. I don't have the passion that I used to to do them any justice. If you are interested in reading any of my works or are purely curious to see how much I've grown as an author (and trust me, I've made monumental growth), you can find me on Wattpad under the username KristinSomethingOrAnother. On that account, I have an original novel posted that gets updated just about every other week. I am extremely passionate about that book and I'm always trying to better it every chance I get. There's a certain glint in my eyes, quirk in my smile, and pep in my step whenever I talk about it, three things that I've lost for just about all of my fanfictions.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for every single second you've spent on me and my writing. Whether or not it was well-spent is up to you entirely, but I know my time here was. Your reviews, favorites, and follows helped me through rough times when I was younger and gave me not only the confidence but the ambition, too, to become an author. You all gave me a brief, but enlightening taste of what it feels like to be an author and trust me when I say that I'll stay chasing the sensation.

Thank you so, so much,

Kristin Smith/ K-the-Queen-of-Typos
