Yo guys,

I'm not gonna lie... I've been ignoring this fic. (Wow, surprising news, right?) So here's the thing. I... was bad. And I let this story sit, thinking that, "hey, I'll get to it later." Well. Later turned into four years, and I low-key just let it slide because I figured that no one would start this fic after seeing the update date.

But nope.

Guess who just got a review?

So yeah, I've realized that it's high time I've addressed what the frick frack happened to this thing because you people deserve an answer. So, Archive of Our Own is a thing. And I started using that platform instead of this one and I've just kinda...never stopped. After I started using Archive of My Own (and no this story is not on that account), I started getting into different fandoms. After I started getting into different fandoms, I stopped keeping up with the Tokyo Ghoul series. After I stopped keeping up with the Tokyo Ghoul series, I completely forgot everything that happened in the series and now here we are, four years later, with all of my Tokyo Ghoul knowledge wiped out of existence and an incomplete Tokyo Ghoul fic that, can I be honest, might never see the light of day again.

Tl;Dr: I fricking suck and have forgotten about Tokyo Ghoul and now I can't complete this stupid fic.

Ya so, I'm just gonna officially put this thing on indefinite hiatus. I would love to put it up for adoption, but part of me recognizes that this story is my baby and I will always want to be the one to raise it even if I've neglected it for a fair portion of its childhood.

I can't promise that I will ever update it (because Tokyo Ghoul is fricking long and do I have the time or patience to re-read everything? Maybe. God knows I'm not touching the anime with a ten-stick pole). But, I also just can't find it in me to delete it. So. It's gonna sit. And it's gonna stew in my conscience until I grow a pair (worrying, considering I'm a girl) and start updating again.

It's funny because, as I was reading this correspondence I had with someone who was reading this fic, they told me (and keep in mind this was 4 years ago), and I quote: "I always have a soft spot for gender bender stories too. Though sadly most authors don't get very far in them."

Kill me now. Seriously. Just strike me down from where I'm sitting. I'm so ashamed that I let this fic sit for this long without giving you guys some indication of what the heck was going on with me. I cannot grovel for forgiveness enough.

Anyway. I hope everyone is okay, and I hope you can find better authors who don't ghost you for four years.
