*waves at you nervously like that one shitty relative you only see once a year*

So, um… I'm not dead?

Okay, look: I'm really, really sorry for the 2.5 year of silence you guys had to suffer through with this story. I truly am. I had the world's worst writer's block (I still kind of do) and life just kept distracting me with work and bills and events and everything else. Plus, it doesn't help that I no longer speak with the authoress who originally began this story, so I'm not able to bounce ideas off of her or ask what her intentions were (even though she entrusted me with the plot and everything, but that's beside the point.) Fear not, lovely readers – I WILL BE FINSHING THIS STORY!

I've said it countless times but some people still seem to think I've abandoned this story, so I'll say it again here so we're clear: I will never, ever just abandon a story. I will always finish them, even if it kills me. So that is what I'm doing. Finishing the story, I mean – not dying. Though I understand if some of you want to kill me after I made you wait.

So here's the skinny: I don't log onto FanFiction anymore. I update my profile maybe once a year for anyone who actually checks it, but that's pretty much it. I've actually moved over to Archive of Our Own. I have new stories uploaded on there already, and I'm beginning the process of moving all my fanfic from here to over there. Curse of A Pharaoh's Kiss, of course, being at the top of that list. If you're looking for updates, that's where you're going to find them. On top of posting this story on Ao3, I will also be editing it as I go, changing a few things – like fixing a couple plot holes I am embarrassed to admit slipped past my scrutiny (this is why you write outlines to your story instead of going chapter-by-chapter, folks.) If you want the full experience this story has to offer, I highly encourage you to go ahead and re-read the chapters I will be posting on Ao3. I will try my best to keep a consistent update schedule, but I make no promises.

Actually, I lied. I can promise you this: No more 2-year waits. I feel really guilty for that.

CoaPK begun in 2012… Can you even believe that? I know I can't. I was 17 at the time, severely depressed, suicidal and going through some of the toughest shit in my life. Now I'm an adult and while life is better, it's still unkind sometimes. I've grown as a person and I hope that shows in my writing.

TL;DR – from now on, this story will not be updated on fanfiction anymore. Only the version on Archive of Our Own will be updated and completed.

Thank you to everyone who's read CoaPK and stuck with me. I appreciate it more than you know, even if I don't make you feel like I do. I sincerely hope you can forgive me and that I'll see you over on Ao3 in the future. If not, I understand. You can yell at me in the review section or on tumblr.
