IMPORTANT

ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Hey everyone, it’s me, Crimson Fox4. Well, I think I first mentioned this near the beginning of the year that I had an important announcement to make at the end of APAH: Amazonian Avenger, but I’ve decided it’s best to tell you all now.

I know hardly any of you are expecting this, but I’m going to be leaving FanFiction . net soon. How soon is soon? Well, I’m sort of aiming for in around the Easter weekend. I’m sorry that this is so sudden and all, but can you see now why I decided to tell you sooner than I originally planned? (As those who are currently still keeping up with APAH:AA know, it’s not quite finished yet, am I right?)

Anyways, I know you’re probably all wondering why, especially after me being a member on the site for a little over a year now, but the truth is, I’m pretty sure my parents have close to no idea that I’m even a member on this site. So, I guess you could say my conscience has caught up with me. I just really don’t want to have to hide this sort of writing from them, but at the same time, I also don’t really want to show them and have them get mad at me for not telling them about this for over a year, you know?

But yeah… another thing that I don’t think many of you know about is that I’m a Christian. And I’ve sort of been realizing lately that lying / avoiding telling my parents about something isn’t the best course of action for a Christian to take. Plus, I know to some of you this might sound all ‘preachy’ and all, but I’ve sort of been feeling God working in my life as of late - especially regarding my writing.

I believe that my ability to write stories and such is a gift he’s given me, and I haven’t exactly been using it in the best way really that glorifies him. I mean, I know if you’re reading this note right now, you’ve probably read at least one of my stories. And you may or may not have realized that I try to keep the content and language cleaner than most other stories on the site, but other than that, my views and my beliefs as a Christian haven’t really been integrated into my stories at all, and now I realize that I should’ve been doing that, even if it means it would’ve probably turned half or more of you off of my writing. For instance, Christmas is supposed to be the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, yet I haven’t put any of that into my Christmas story that I just recently finished. In fact, I ended up changing the final chapter a lot as it just didn’t seem right for Piper and Aerrow to kiss – mistletoe or not.

So if you’re wondering what this all means, it basically means that my fanfiction writing is going to be done in about a week or so if all goes according to plan. Out of my three stories I had on the go, one is now done. I’m also hoping to have A Cyclonian Cupid done this weekend depending how much time I get to work on it. After that, I’m going to focus on condensing the ‘A Phoenix Among Hawks’ series. This means adding APAH: Revelations and APAH: Caged Phoenix; New Apprentice onto the end of APAH: Amazonian Avenger. There will probably be a lot of time skips, but I think it should turn out alright in the end (hopefully). Also, I’m figuring out now with a fellow author on the site whether or not they’re willing to write the final story in the series for me or not, as I‘d really like you guys to be able to read that one in the full length it was intended to be. Like you, I’ve always disliked when an author just ups and leaves without finishing their stories, and I think that’s one of the main reasons why I’m still ‘here’ right now. So I’ve been trying to think of ways to shorten and condense what I’ve had planned to write as you can see.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know about this beforehand, and I’m sorry to those I didn’t tell prior to now that I wanted to, its just I’ve been really busy between typing and homework lately, so yeah….

Please feel free to send me a message with any questions or concerns about this you may have. Even if you just want to yell at me, I guess I’ll accept those messages too, but no matter what type of message you send me, I probably won’t get a chance to answer them until my stories are done, so you’ll only have to wait for in around a week or so or until I need to take a small break from speed writing. Also, I know I usually reply to all of my reviews, but I may not have time soon, so please forgive me those of you who actually enjoy me replying to your reviews. I do enjoy them, so please keep leaving them!

Well everyone, thanks for all of the input you’ve given me over this past year, and thanks for helping me become a better author, but I think it’s time I moved on and focused on writing my own original story with my own original characters where I can incorporate whatever ideas I need into it.

Sincerely,

Crimson Fox4
