*Pokes head in sheepishly* Hello my faithful readers…it's been a while, uh? *laughs nervously*

I know, I know, it's been four years since I updated this story, any of my stories really. I know I let you down and abandoned my works and for that I'm deeply sorry. You deserve an explanation and here it is. Before I start, thank you all for the support you gave me when I was writing this story. I never expected to have such an impact with it and to have people begging me to continue. I have to admit it was awesome.

At the time when I started writing, I was in med school and I was still living in my native country. I was living alone and overwhelmed with my classes, still though, writing gave me an outlet from my stress and loneliness. But then, things in my country were getting a bit dire with the economy and the crime situation, not to mention the mounting toxic political climate. So, I left school and the country to come to the US and live with my mother. I can say I've never been as happy as I was when I saw her after years of living apart.

Then around that same time, all the ship hate and harassment started escalating within the fandom, authors deleted their stories, people from all ships started to harass the actors and it was such a mess. I have to admit I lost my motivation to write and I even distanced myself from all things ouat for a while, getting into other fandoms and such.

But from a while know I've been getting back into the groove, re-reading some of my favorite stories and rediscovering my love for Swan Queen, even if the show kind of let me down a bit. I decided to revisit my own stories and I have to be honest with you guys, it made me cringe a bit. I'm not a seasoned author and is not as bad as some stories out there, but still, I think I could be better.

The point of all this rambling, is that I'm feeling inspired and motivated to get back to writing. I hope you guys still offer me your support, even after all this time. I still don't know if I'm going to do a total rewrite of my stories or just touch up here and there. It'll probably be the latter. Please don't hesitate to offer me tips and suggestions on how I can improve my writing, plots and twists for new and existing stories and whatever you feel I could work on. I just ask that you do so in a respectful manner.

I'm known in the fandom from writing g!p and genderswap stories so if you don't like them, please refrain from reading and/or commenting. I know is not for everyone, which is why I place the necessary warnings to prevent complaints.

Someone asked in a comment for this story If I was going to include Zelena. At the time, when I stopped writing, season 3 was barely starting so I didn't plan on involving her, but maybe I could work something out. Who knows, right? Anyway, thanks for reading my lengthy and rambling explanation and stay tuned for more content.

You can follow and contact me using the fanfiction site or through social media, which I'll share on my bio, namely tumblr and twitter. Have a good one, guys!
