Author note

.a.g.i.r.l.n.a.m.e.d.y.a.m.a.

Dear Interested Readers:

This note is to commemorate that I am indeed, still alive, and have also picked up writing again. Honestly I didn't expect myself to, but I have recently picked it up against this year.

I don't really have an excuse taking a near five - six year hiatus without notifying my readers but well... life tends to run away on you. Five years ago I was floundering as to what I should be doing with my life and that was when I decided to pursue a business degree. I took the next four years to complete that degree, and today I'm glad to say that I focused on school to pursue that dream.

I am currently job hunting since I recently graduated a few weeks ago. As it is, I'm also working on A Girl Named Yama whenever I have the time too (which is a lot at the moment). I am overhauling the entire thing - as in - I'm completely posting a new version. Why? Well, because I still love that story and do not want to give it up. But as I go back and read it again I realize that it has been over ten years since I started it. I was fourteen when I began writing it and now I am twenty-seven. Bit of a stretch, don't you think? My writing style is very much different from how it was a decade ago.

This is why I decided that it would be better to re-write the entire thing rather than attempt to edit it. I will mention that I have... several new chapters written. As in - I have chapters 28 - 35 written (and they are long chapters), but I will not be posting them until I finish writing Chapters 1 - 27 as well. My love for writing and for my fandoms have not died and while I will still not be in tip-top shape to update all of my stories, I am pleased to say that I will be doing so for AGNY (and I do plan on finishing it).

Thank you for any loyal readers (if you're still there, wow I'm amazed and touched you're still there), new readers, and new critiques.

As it is, this A Girl Named Yama version will be marked off as completed / discontinued and the new version will be posted as a new story under this same username.

I will be posting the new version in it's entirely as soon as I possibly can (by entirely I mean Chapters 1 – 40. This doesn't mean the story will be finished, it just means I want to get a huge chunk written and ready for posting so you guys won't need to wait so long for me to begin the story anew from chapter 1). Unfortunately I have no estimated date, but I hope that it will be very soon.

Thank you very much for all the patience!

Sincerely,

SilverDragon
