I told myself that I wasn't going to do this, that I would just post the chapter and then at the end write a little speech about being gone, being sorry, etc. I know we've all heard that before and I understand how especially frustrating it is when you get that chapter notification email, only to realize that it's not.

I have a lot of reasons to be gone: college, new life opportunities but also challenges, gaining new experiences, and trying to just find my way in this world. I'm not that old, I'm only 20, but I realized I put a lot about myself on the back burner as got older, including this fanfiction. I'm one of those writers that doesn't let people look at what they've written, but writing fanfic gives me the anonymity that I needed to share my work, and I realized how unfair it was to just kind of give up on it without saying anything.

I started this when I was only 13, and I remember that I wanted to write this epic fanfic, and I kinda figured I'd be done by now. Angel of Anarchy is my baby believe it or not, but I came here to say that this isn't the end. I told myself I'd have 5 chapters out by the end of the summer (before I go back to college), but that's also using to be a bit difficult, but for good reason: I'm actively editing the story again. Going back to read this over…I'm embarrassed, to say the least. I can tell when my writing started to become more mature, when the story itself really began to develop beyond your run of the mill "let me implant my OC into the manga" stories. So I will be doing that while also at the same time rolling out 3 new chapters before summer's end. I implore you to read my edits again, for nostalgia's sake since it's been so long. I promise you this isn't the end, and despite what has actually happened, I'm still very much #AntiGruvia.
