p class="MsoNormal"Author's Note:/p
p class="MsoNormal"From this point forward, "Welcome to the Black Order Italy" will be officially discontinued. While I am pretty sure that many readers already knew it was dead, I wanted to give the followers of this fic and myself some closure with a final author's note./p
p class="MsoNormal"It has been almost six years since I updated this fic and I don't think that I can continue this fic. My views on characters has changed dramatically over the years, especially my interpretation of the Hetalia characters. So, if I were to continue, I doubt that the narrative would cohesive. Instead, I think that the older and newer chapters would be incompatible with each other. (And that's ignoring the changes in my writing style!)/p
p class="MsoNormal"As such, I would like to thank all those who have read, followed, favourited, and reviewed this piece of fanfiction. And I'm sorry to those that wanted an update after all these years./p
p class="MsoNormal"Thank you and goodbye,/p
