Well, it's been more than four and a half years since I abandoned this story after falling out of the YuGiOh fandom. But even after all that time has passed, I still get new favorites, follows and reviews for this story and my others. I'm truly flattered.

I've gotten several requests to continue this story in particular, and believe me, I took those to heart. But I knew that I couldn't: I've changed so much as a writer that anything I wrote now wouldn't fit my style back then, and also, for a long time, I was into other fandoms, and simply didn't have enough passion for these characters to write them properly.

But a while ago, I returned (unexpectedly) to the YuGiOh fandom, and I thought, "Hey, if I can't continue Ore no Sonzai, why don't I re-write it?" So I started to do exactly that. But after 5-10k, I lost interest in the story and stopped.

Then, in late September, I got another very kind review asking me to at least post what I had already written years ago. And that was the tipping point: I was going to finish this thing. I dove into writing the Ore no Sonzai redux and didn't stop. And to my surprise, I had tons of fun. Now that enough of it is written that I feel confident I won't abandon it again (and seriously, there is no way I'm abandoning it this time, even if it's the last YuGiOh fic I ever write), I'm posting it.

It's called Sonzai. And if you enjoyed this story, I hope you'll enjoy that one. It's similar in many ways, but different in others. If you're interested, I'd love to know what you think of it.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported this story over the years. I cherish every sweet review you guys have left, every favorite, every follow: they encourage me to keep writing, fanfiction and original stuff, to this day. :)
