I first must apologize to you, my readers.

You have been so good to me, giving me reviews and support I didn't deserve. I built up a climax, only to let you down.

This is the end of storm rising as you know it. However, Storm rising will still continue.

It will be rewritten.

Through several of the later reviews and by rereading my story, it has been brought to my attention that storm rising has holes in its plot. Holes created by me (this is where I apologize again). I know most of you are willing to overlook my flaws for a powerful ending, but I cannot overlook them myself, nor can I swiftly bring this wonderful ending that you so desire. I am sorry.

Please remember that this story is very special to me. I cannot truly abandon it. Which is why I need you help, my faithful readers.

You see, I was laying on the floor of my room, laughing with Avi or Safarilover1 about our fanfictions we had all but abandoned. I said jokingly, "I should just blow everyone up in storm rising so people stop bugging me to finish it!"

She agreed and we went to my computer, brainstorming ways to troll you. I posted the first chapter (ch. 46), feeling great about finally finishing a story. But then that night, I felt horribly guilty as I read your reviews. So many of you were happy just to see an update that you didn't care how bad it was. I realized that I could not have abandoned the story, because I would be cheating myself and you.

VERY IMPORTANT LINEs BELOW! IF YOU SKIP EVERYTHING ELSE, JUST READ BELOW!

In order for Storm rising to be improved, I need to correct the errors. However I am a human, which means I make mistakes and forget things. So I need you to tell me what holes I need to repair as I rewrite storm rising.

Here's a few that I know:

- Annabeth's abrupt attitude change about Percy

- Brandon's pigheadedness (don't worry, he won't become nice, but it won't be so obvious)

- Percy giving up his Poseidon water powers

- Apollo's ability to check Hades for lies but not Brandon

- Their time in the caves, running from the gods

- OOCness (understand that this is a story where Annabeth and Percy aren't together, so the characters won't be exactly like Rick planned)

- Anything else that you come up with

And I have one more favor to ask of you. If you could tell me 1-5 (or more) things I could improve about my writing, I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you so much my readers.

Please, please, please remember to tell me your thoughts about my story. Thank you.

Also note that I will leave this copy of storm rising up on my profile even after the new one is posted as a tribute of my early writing days.

I hope that I will be able to write to you again and that you follow my second attempt of storm rising.

Thank you!
