Hey guys, so first things first: I am not abandoning this fic.

I want to apologise for my lack of communication; I put in my bio I wouldn't be updating fics till this summer due to being at university, though I now realise not many people look at bios lol. I was reluctant to post a chapter of only an authors note cus it feels like I'll get peoples hopes up just for this, but I do owe you all an explanation at least. I hadn't posted an AN yet as I kept saying to myself, I'll write it soon, I don't need one! But as you can see, I haven't gotten round to it haha.

Suffice to say, I am not giving up on this fic, or any of my other fics. I still want to write the stories I have planned and share them with you all, but life is busy and my attention/motivation is often divided between many of my interests. I plan and run a homebrew D&D campaign every week, and am trying to make a living for myself in the world of art amongst the other challenges of daily life in these strange times. I know these may sound like excuses to many of you, but this is free content, and being harassed for chapters is the opposite of a motivator; many a time after reading such reviews, I have felt like giving up on this fic, put off by the fandom. On the other hand, I love to hear what you think of the story and my writing, those kinds of reviews bring me such joy and the motivation to give you more.

What I'm saying is, you can never know what's going on in another person's life, so treat people with respect and kindness, how you would like to be treated. I do this in my spare time, something I have a lot less of compared to when I started writing fic in college. Anyway, I hope you've read all this, and I thank you if you have. I hope I didn't sound lecture-y but its just how I'm feeling.

I can't promise you when I'll update this fic, but I never have managed to keep a schedule for these things lol. Just know that when I do find the time, I truly put my heart and soul into writing, purely because I love to do it.

Thank you so much for sticking with me, and again I apologise for my lack of communication with you all.

Hope to see you soon,
