Dear readers, just a heads up: this is not a new chapter. More of a long Author's Note, because you deserve it. (although you deserve a new chater even more, I think I should explain) But please read it, it's quite important for me that you know.

I started this story in April 2011 and kept updating for about a year. But life's been really hard on me since then, and I almost haven't written anything since 2012, hence the missing Chapter 20. I'm really, really sorry about this and I feel super-guilty, but I hope you understand.

Everything's going better now though, and I've picked up writing again. I hope to publish new stories soon, because inspiration hit me and I have to make up for almost 3 years of silence!

But I'm leaving The Perfect Costume as it is now, because I think Chapter 19 is a nice ending too. I know that most of you probably don't even remember this story anymore, but thank you anyway. I loved writing it, I absolutely loved all of your reviews, they made my days and I've learned from them too.

So I want to thank every one of you for reading, favoriting, following, reviewing, whatever it is you did. I love you and I am really, really sorry.

With all my heart,

Thank you and please forgive me

And have a (late) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots and lots of fanfics :)
