Hey, guys, it's me again, LDSAuthor2013...and I'm afraid that, this time...I have some bad news for you.

You see, I get my name, LDSAuthor2013, from my religion. I'm a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. You, though, have more likely than not heard of it as the LDS Church or the Mormon Church (not the FLDS Church, the one that practices polygamy, that's a different group entirely). Anyways, at a certain time in every LDS young adult's life, he or she has a special opportunity placed before them. Men, when 18, and women, when 19, can choose to accept a calling as a missionary for the church, and serve for two years. They leave their family and friends behind, as well as all the comforts of modern technology, and go out to teach the gospel of their, and my, church to those who want to learn. Some missions can take them as far as Japan, India, and Russia. It is an exciting moment in many a young man or woman's life, and is one that is strongly encouraged to take, as long as you are worthy (keep all the commandments of God, and not just the top 10

Well, starting today, June 4th, 2014, I am now completely eligible to go out and serve a mission for the Lord, our God.

Already, I have received my calling, my letter from the President of the LDS Church, telling me where I am serving, when I will be leaving, and what a blessing it is for me to be going out on a mission. I have never been more excited in my life...and that includes the excitement over the fact that I'm graduating tomorrow! I leave August 20th of this year, and will be returning sometime in August two years from now, 2016. This is a wonderful and exciting moment in my life, one that I have been looking forward to since the day I began learning the doctrine of Christ (about thirteen years ago). I hope you all keep me in your prayers, and wish me good luck on this exciting new path through life I have chosen to take. Who knows? Perhaps I'll even have a good story or two to tell you guys once I come back.

Which actually brings me to the main reason I am writing this. You see, guys...while I am off and away on my mission for two years, I won't be able to have any access to the internet, except for email. My connections to the outside world will be very limited, and any connections I have with fanfiction.net will become non-existent until I return. So, as much as I hate to say this...I'm putting all of my stories on indefinite hiatus. I know, this stinks, I haven't done much progress on my stories to begin with for quite some time, and a lot of you really like the stories that I'm writing (aside from a fair few who will not be named). However, I can't worry about stories while I'm off on my mission, I just can't! So, until I return, Rewrite the Past will be placed on hiatus, with a rewrite planned to take place in the future, Dragon Wars is going to go on hiatus, and probably put up for adoption if anyone wants to take it, and my other stories are going to either be placed on hiatus or abandoned completely. I'm sorry if you hate me because of this, but this is just what I have to do.

Now, if there are still some of you out there who still do not hate me, I have a request for you. While placing my stories on hiatus will help me to relax and be worry free about them for the two years I'm away, I still have some problems. There are a fair few stories currently bouncing around in my head right now, as are the multitude of original characters that yearn for action, adventure, and romance. So, here's what I ask of you: to adopt, if you can, one of the story ideas below, and write it in my stead, and use the characters below them to your heart's content. Do this, and I think my mind will rest, and be able to focus more on my duties on my mission.

Again, my friends, I am sorry for what I have done to you with this. I only hope that, once I return in two years, you will be able to forgive me, and will still be willing to follow the stories I have yet to write myself. Thank you for all of your support over the last year and a half, and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2016!

Stay epic my friends!!

STORIES:

Naruto: What if, after a brutal beating that nearly killed Naruto, the Hokage finally decided to ignore the Village Council and hand the blonde Jinchuriki over to a pair of Jonin, so that he could be trained, raised, and protected throughout his life? And what if the two Jonin selected for this mission happened to be Konoha's own Copy Ninja and Crazy Snake Lady? The result; the Ninja of Insanity, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, the Number 1 most insane, sadistic, and unpredictable ninja in all of Konoha's history. Requirements:

Naruto: What if, after Naruto's failed attempt at saving Sasuke from the Sound Five, the Village Council decided to banish him, never to return to Konoha again? And what if, just before he left, he ended up finding out who his father truly was, and where his ancestry came from? Naruto would end up travelling off to the land of his forefathers with a new dream in mind; to become the first Namikaze to be the Raikage of Kumogakure, Home of the Lightning-Fast Namikaze Clan. Requirements:

Naruto: On the ninth October 10th since the Kyuubi attack, Naruto is beaten near to death and left to die in the Forest of Death. However, he doesn't die, but is discovered by a certain Snake Summoner. Six years later, the Chunin Exams are held in Konoha, and three Genin Teams from the new Otogakure show. Who are they? What do they want? And just who is the masked blonde shinobi that seems to be the leader of all three groups?! Listen to the sounds of the vengeful fox! Requirements:

Naruto: Thousands of years ago, the Juubi was defeated by a man known as the Sage of Six Paths. Before that had happened, though, the father of the Juubi, the Demon King himself, was sealed away by a group of ninja known as the Seven Sages of the Genesis. All seven were killed in or immediately after their battle. Their one student, the Sage of Six Paths, was put in charge of the seal, and ordered to maintain it so the Demon King would never rise again. However, the time has come where the seal cannot be held back any further, and now the new Sage of Six Paths, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, must go out and teach the reincarnated Seven Sages of Genesis, to defeat their ancient foe. Requirements:

Naruto: How much would change if the pariah of Konoha was chased out at the age of seven during one of the Fox Hunts, and found by a group of wandering nukenins, known as the Akatsuki? What if the Akatsuki's plans weren't as malevolent as they seemed, and that they simply wanted to right the wrongs of the Great Five Villages? Ten years down the road, we'd find the results of both questions; Naruto Uzumaki, student of the Akatsuki, and the man to change the world for good, and for the better. Requirements:

Bleach: What if there was a being more powerful than the Soul King? What if it had been so powerful that it could only be sealed away, and in order to keep it away, the three eldest sons of the Soul King had to separate themselves from each other, grow their own empires, and all the while keeping the seal intact? What if the seal started to crack, just after the two youngest were killed in a war between their two empires? And what if, to save the universe, the last son had to turn to a boy who had proven himself a hero already? A hero...with orange hair. Requirements:

Bleach: The Soul King. The most powerful being in the Afterlife. With one hand, the Soul King can create worlds. With another, the Soul King can destroy them. But being ruler of the universe can be exhausting and really trying on one's nerves. The Soul King needs to find a replacement...and it looks like she's found him. That's right, she. Requirements:

Fairy Tail/Bleach: A new Guild has sprung up in Fiore, one that seems to be even stronger than Fairy Tail. The Mages in there are strong and smart, and their top Mages are easily on the same level as, if not greater than, Makarov and Gildarts. Just who are they, and where did they come from? And what are these white-faced creatures that keep popping up? Requirements:
