A note to all my readers/reviewers:

As you can see, all the fics I have written have been removed from my profile. I've received a couple of e-mails from people who have been upset at my decision to do so. I admit that it was unfair of me to remove my fics without giving an adequate explanation, so I offer one to you now:

Recently, I received an review on "From Cherub to Devil", my only completed full-length fic. It was anonymous and stated that a friend of the reviewer had read the fic and began to cut themselves afterwards.

Understand that I am perfectly aware that this could be a lie. I've received flames before, and have been able to comfortably ignore them. However, FCtD was a dark piece. It didn't include cutting, but it did include themes of desperation that reflect what my feelings were at the time when I wrote it. It is possible that the review was honest, and if it is, I am heartbroken for that person. I understand what it is like to be in that spot. I wish an e-mail had been included in the review so that I could see if there was something - anything - I could do to talk to this person and do what I could to help them.

The fics have been removed because I don't want what my own feelings were at the time to have negative impact on other people. Perhaps the review was false. This doesn't mean that another person who did not comment was not similarly affected. I understand that a story alone is not enough to cause someone to cut themselves, but sometimes it can be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I also know from experience that even though people choose what they read, they do not always make the best decisions, especially when the world around them is falling apart.

My apologies to those who still wanted to read the fic. I hope you can understand the decision I made to remove it. I am praying for the people who have been aversely affected by my writing, and hope that by the grace of God that they will find people to support them and show them that the world is not as dark as it appears at times. If anyone wants to contact me further, my aim screenname is MystWlf17. Thank you to all my readers and reviewers - you have been incredibly supportive, and I wish you the best.
