First and foremost: I would like to apologize for anyone who comes looking at this and are disappointed with not seeing a chapter. Trust me, I hate doing this, I've been on the receiving end so just know I feel the pain. I cringe writing this and causing any negative feelings. I would also like to apologize for being so absent with this story; it's not due to a lack of wanting to pursue it, but due to the fact I had a plot and it vanished and I've been trying to salvage it. Between life's ups and downs and all the other shit that comes crawling from the cracks, I just haven't had the chance to really put in the time and effort I have wanted to. An attempt to salvage this story. I keep in touch to whatever degree I can, reading your reviews and seeing what you all have to say. I'm so flattered by your interest, your affection for this story. I'm so grateful you all have followed it for this long.

Also thank you those of you who have sent kind anons to a certain Tumblr account.

This post isn't to tell you I have abandoned this story. It's to tell you I have no idea where I was going with it, because drafts I had were erased and I'm left just like, LOL. Okay. So I've decided upon two avenues I can take and I would love your opinions on:

A.) I could continue reworking these chapters and see where I can go from there, and perhaps take input from the audience as an aid through reviews or to those interested in privately messaging. This option seems iffy because I'm uncertain the outcome regarding the story with it, nonetheless I am willing to try it.

B.) I archive this story and leave it as it is. I open up a new story to write that mostly follows the same plot you all have seen thus far, but I write in more scenes and fill it up with more chapters and character development/interactions. This sounds ideal, right? Things get more fleshed out, I alter some things you all know in this story but the course is still mostly the same. This option is less iffy in regards to me giving the story attention, but it is still me reworking the story entirely.

So thoughts and opinions I am asking for because I would like to return to this piece, I'm just at an impasse on where and how.

Again, I apologize for this being an author's note and not a chapter but I appreciate the time taken to read this and anyone who replies in the reviews area or through private messages. Thank you.
