My Dear Readers,

After a lot of thinking and some long chats with good friends, Sheila and Janet, I have decided to reinstate these stories and retrieve them from the site's recovery files before it is too late to do so and still keep them intact in their current form.

I had initially removed all of my incomplete stories in both of my fandoms, Gilmore Girls and Scarecrow and Mrs. King simply because I could not get many of my readers to understand that the endless cries of "update, update, update" were hurtful to me, even though it has been posted on my site profile for months.

For the past year, I have been in a state of nearly non-stop pain and have been living on combination of pain medication, anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxers just so I can get through my days. This makes it extremely difficult to concentrate and to maintain my focus on the ongoing and complicated storylines such as those found in "The Honeymoon's Over," "We're Ok," and others. This is why I have been sticking to short fillers and one-shots.

I know that this is a disappointment to my readers as I'm a reader too and know first-hand just how frustrating it is to become involved in a story only to find it incomplete. Had I known that this was going to happen to me, I would never have begun any of these fics. When I will be able to update any of these, if ever, I just don't know. However, many of my readers stated that something was better than nothing and that they preferred to have the partially completed stories than to see them disappear forever.

Understand that I do not want my inbox flooded with sympathetic responses so please do not "review" or PM with "I'm sorry," "I'm praying for you," or anything similar, not because I don't want people to care, but simply because with my ongoing health issues and having recently had my husband diagnosed with lung cancer to boot, I have too much on my plate to be able to properly reply. Anyone ignoring this request will be blocked and this applies to even those with whom I communicate on a regular basis. I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but I am tired all the time, in pain all the time and I feel the need once again to stress how disheartening it is not to have my wishes respected in this matter. Many of you know how to find me on Facebook and can check in there if you have a concern.

Thank you

Lanie Sullivan
