Well…this is honestly very awkward.

I bet some of you went "HOLY SHIT AN UPDATE" there for a minute, but I'm afraid not. This is a notice from a dead author, that might have a sliver of dim hope in her message.

First off, wow, people are still reading this? I'm…I'm amazed! Thank you for the support, even if I abandoned ship long ago. I guess you guys missed my profile update saying I wouldn't be writing anymore. So why am I back?

Well, this story, along with my other ones, were written when I was….twelve. Yes, TWELVE. And the early months of age thirteen. AoA started as an experiment to try and see what people considered Mary-Sue, what plot line could I form without going absurd, what character could I make that could possibly stand a chance being paired with a canon character, ect. And it got reviews, and I was amazed and continued writing.

Don't think it was all just "oh, lol, I'll ditch now", I truly, TRULY loved writing this. But it got out of hand, and I needed to take a break. A break turned into hiatus, hiatus turned into a dusty story locked away in my computer that was washed away over time. I grew scared of it as my mind cleared and read other material, I grew scared I had gone too far with the plot, too deep into Mary-Sue land, too OOC, and I made myself believe that when I came back there'd be flames and hate-mail (not critiques. Some of you did that…thank you! ).

I was shocked out of my wits today.

I decided to log in and face my fears only to see people asking for more-despite not updating in 3 years! I thought "What…what in the WORLD did I write to make someone even ask that anymore?" and decided to read some of my own fanfic.

I haven't read all of it, but man it gets me aching to write again. And I see so many little things I could improve on and make better and a;dyspadfoajsdfalsdfj! It's hard to convey in words!

So the point of this update, besides telling you where dead little 12-year-old Amaris Sirtsema of went…well, might rewrite this story.

I might.

MIGHT.

MIIIIGHT.

I need to re-watch the anime, the first one. I haven't bothered with Brotherhood or the manga, sorry, I just haven't (maybe someday…when, y'know, it ENDS). If I can rewatch the 50 episodes and get that spark back, and read my story and figure out where I was heading and what to improve on…if I can do all that, I may start writing again. Of course, it also depends if you guys want me to try re-writing this little story or not, and if you have ideas, critique for me to keep in mind, anything at all send it via PM, Review or my new updated e-mail Viira_.

I'm not promising anything guys, I'm simply saying I have that ache slowly coming back, and if it sparks…I may start writing.

But I'm also making a nuzlocke comic (Pokemon…look nuzlocke up if you don't know it I don't want to explain) on , so that'll take up time too.

So….I guess I'm out, and I'll let you guys say what you want or need to say as I keep reading AoA to see if I can salvage it.

Love you guys, even if I've been dead 3 years.

If I do this, I'll try SO HARD to not abandon ship. It's a bad habit of mine, so again…I'm so sorry.

~ Amaris Sirtsema

Anyone ever realise Sirtsema is Amestris backwards? I'm so original. (That name will probably change).
