PLEASE, read all of this. It explains everything.

I want more than anything to be able to update for you. Really, I do love all of you. It's such a superficial thing to say, but I've never meant anything more. If I'm ever feeling down, I go through my reviews. And some of them genuinely make my day. You all are so wonderful, and I'm so glad that you could be a part of my life.

But it's about time I explained my lack of updates. There's a hell of a lot of you reading my story, so... I owe you at least this.

My parents are going through a divorce. I have to move out of my house; I get to stay in my town, but that's really it. And you might think a divorce isn't the worst thing in the world, but the divorces you've probably heard about are nothing like this. I don't feel comfortable discussing it... at least, not right now. Maybe when I come back.

Speaking of which, as of now, this story (can I call it that? There are no chapters, no linear plot, no nothing) is finished. I'm marking it complete. Maybe one day I'll come back to this. If I have a burst of inspiration, or need to let everything out, I'll write a chapter for this. And it won't be like it was when I first started—updates twice a day, choppy descriptions, the need to pour shipping fluff into every chapter.

I've grown up. I understand that writing isn't about just the romances. It's about the story altogether, and the romance is just there to lend to the characters and their development. And I've also grown away from PJO a little; I've still read ToA. I'll still continue to do so. But I can't call the series my favorite anymore. I've read so many things, and they're all... better. I can't explain it, really, but... I dunno. It's weird.

PJO, and you, my amazing readers, have had a huge impact on my life. I've always been a bit uncomfortable in my own skin; I don't like myself very much. But you all build me up and make me confident. And you've helped me begin to embrace who I am. I couldn't be more grateful for that.

If you want to read more of my writing, I've spent a lot of time in the SYOT community of The Hunger Games archive. I've made friends there; a lot of them. It's not nearly as hostile as a typical fandom can be, so stop by for a bit if you want. It's not much, but I love it anyway.

If you want to yell at me for discontinuing, I understand. PM me or review, I don't care. But I'll still be around. I'll even read and review your fics, if you want.

And I probably won't be able to stand being away for very long. Maybe a oneshot from me will pop up in the archive. Or maybe a full-blown OC story (I did consider one about one of the OCs in a later chapter, didn't I?). I don't know. I might change my pen name... I've kind of grown out of it. But you'll know it's me. If you know my writing, you'll know.

So... I guess this is my last sign off for a while. Thank you, all of you. I couldn't be more grateful.

Yours in demigoddishness,

Megan, AKA We're All Okay
