A proposition.

Dear treasured readers,

As life has whizzed by, I continue to be amazed and delighted that even nearly two years after updating this story, people still leave me reviews and favorite/follow. For those who have sent me private messages to which I never replied-I apologize sincerely. For some reason, favorite/follow notifications filtered into my email, but review/PM notifications did not. I can't imagine how deeply one must delve into the archives to even find this story. As I'm sure all have noticed, it has indeed been nearly two years since I've updated this. You see, I started this story as a junior in high school (I think), and I'm now in my last year of university. Not only did I become busier than I had ever imagined possible, but the Twilight fandom left me behind. It no longer engrossed me. I fell into the pitfalls of criticizing its writing and plot so sharply that it was difficult to find anything enjoyable about it. Et cetera. Believe it or not, I have intermittently worked on this story, despite a dreadful tendency not to finish what I start. I also have a tentative plan sketched out for the rest of it, and I do know how I want it to end.

Here is my proposition for you.

1. I continue on as I have been, but with more diligence in writing, and I post chapter updates at semi-regular intervals until the story concludes.

Or:

2. I post a chapter with sort of a "here's what you missed on Cosmos" and a detailed-ish summary of what would have happened.

There are pros and cons to either of these. Obviously, the first one would probably be more satisfying, and certainly more detailed. I have no idea if my writing style would be similar to how it was back in yesteryear. It probably is. Just looking at the diaries from high school I kept (my god), I'm not nearly as different as I think I am sometimes. The pitfall, of course, is that I can't guarantee when the story itself would be finished, though I would try to update at least once a month. The pro to the abridged ending is obvious-you would immediately know what happened-con being that it may not make much sense and probably wouldn't be as satisfying.

I'm open to what you guys want to do. Given the length of time that's passed since I first published the story and where I am now, this story is as much yours as it is mine. Do let me know-by review, by PM, by tumblr inbox, whatever. I'll post whichever gets the majority vote (or feels right to me, for I am a fickle creature) by Thanksgiving.

Much love,

Meg.
