Just to clear everything up, I have every intention of finishing this story. I have the outline, I just don't have the time or the creative energy. I haven't updated in a while because I was preparing to graduate from college, I'm planning my wedding, and I'm heavily involved in theater. Ergo, my updates have been rather sporadic. As I've recently graduated, I have a lot more time on my hands, and "Ponine" was already in my queue to finish.

This author's note has been brought about to dispel the rumor that it's okay to finish this story for me. It is not okay to finish someone's story if they have not given their express permission, and especially when the author is clearly still active on the site.

So yes, I will finish the story. There's no need to be rude, demanding, or to try to steal the work. If you are truly curious as to the status of the story, feel free to PM me about it- don't leave a rude review about how someone really ought to do my work for me.

Sincerely, Caitlin (aka Keitorin Asthore)
