Hey guys! There is nothing to fear for I am here! This is not a cancellation, quite the opposite in fact. I am here to say that I am very sorry that I have yet to update my stories both here and the collaborative fic that my friends and I were working on. The only excuse was that school was rough this year and I had a bit of a rough bout of on and off again depression. I am here now though and what I am about to say is this. I do not drop fics. Dropping and abandoning fics is probably my least favorite thing in the world, especially when one has promise. I apologize for the delay and I have actually been rereading my material and I must say I am appalled at some of my writing from back then so I am going to do a whole rewrite of the previous chapters before I make the newest one and we'll see where we go then.

I am absolutely ecstatic that so many people like my story and to be honest it makes me tear up a bit. You are all wonderful, I could not have asked for a better audience. My only request to you, the reader, is that you leave me your opinions on what could be fixed in my story for the better such as; maybe removing the first 'chapter' since it is just a rehash of what most of you know from the ending of brotherhood, adding somethings you may feel would make this story flow better, etc.

Oh! And before I finish I would like to also say I have received your OC applications and I must say most are just great, some are unfortunately not going to be included since they do cross the boundary of mary-sue. In addition most of the characters you sent in will be mostly background characters until we the school arc.

As it is right now you will not see a true update for a little while but not as long as it had been on my hiatus. I do hope you all can forgive me for that by the way. When the update does come I will most likely delete this notice and replace it.

One last thing! As it is I have seen a lot of you leaving reviews and that is grand! It really is! So I thought I might make my story a little more reviewer friendly by adding a question at the end of the chapter. It'll usually be something small, like an opinion of your favorite food or such, and I will then reply to the reviews on the next chapter with my own answer to the question and to any questions you may have for me! Don't be afraid to leave your own inquiries about anything you may be curious about.

First question for my readers out there. What was the first ever anime you watched? Leave your answer in the reviews and I'll give you my answer in the next update!

Again, thank you for all your support that I hope I'll continue to have in the future when the update and rewrites finally come around.
