Ok…I know that everyone is wondering why I am cutting the story short, so I feel as if I owe and explanation.
I have decided to turn this story into a book, be it through a publisher or self-publishing (with my own characters, ergo the OOC Inu…).
While that is nice and all, this helps to add onto the big reason I am taking the story down: I don't want anyone to steal my ideas. They don't have to write a fanfiction and post it, and they don't have to make what they are doing public knowledge until it is too late and they get credit for the story. They can steal my ideas for this story and I would never know about it. This was always a possibility that I have known about, but it only became real when a younger fanfiction writer more or less said that they were going to be basing a story off of one of my one-shots (and I have adequate proof to lead me to this conclusion.)
Now then I would not mind so much if I was not going to publish this story (I am flattered in a sense that they are going to eventually write a story based off of mine) and I even encourage people to write stories. If I am the source of inspiration for others, then I will defiantly not complain. However, things are different if someone decides to use me as inspiration for a story that I am going to publish. That I will not allow.
I need to protect my child, and the best way for me to do that is to take it down, and to take it down before some of my more original ideas go out on the web. It leaves everyone with many questions, I know, but my options were I take the story down immediately after chapter 21, end the story after chapter 23 (which would have left everyone with a very very evil cliff hanger that would have never had a sequel to) or to scrape together some semblance of an ending. I wanted to give this version some kind of ending because I truly to appreciate everyone that has reviewed the story and has read it.
Now that that has been said, I plan on continuing to write this story (but not as a fanfiction) so that I can publish it. Now then it may seem tacky, but anyone who wants to follow the progress of WR, in the publishing world, or even if you want to one day buy a copy, then let me know. I will be deleting all the other chapters, save for the ending, as of now, and I will delete this file name once I get back in town.
Again, thank you so much to everyone that read this story. It really meant a lot to me.
