To the people that thought I was not writing anymore, I apologize. Betrayal from those who you love is a rather hard and bitter pill to swallow. Not to mention the fallout is emotionally debilitating.

Going forward, I've also decided mostly to post completed stories. The reasons for this are simple. My personal life has been hell the past two plus years. I've had to re-write several things because I feel that they were simply garbage, and my muse has refused to focus on the stories that I want to finish. As such certain things were horrible and posting them would have messed with what I already had written. The horror of using too many clichés... Luckily my beta points some of those out.

As for reviews, I find myself ambivalent about them. I write for personal reasons and the only reason that I started posting was because of my little sister. (aka Beta) So in all honesty, I don't really read them all that much, but it is nice to see that other people enjoy the results of my efforts. I completely ignore people that want to bash the ideas that I put time into. If you want a different story, you might want to try writing your own. It's a lot of work to get a believable, engaging story put together, revised, polished, and to spackle the plot holes. Not only that, but sometimes changing the reactions and motivations of favored characters is necessary for an engaging and innovative read. I'm also not paid to do it, and I don't know of anyone on the site that is. However, I will look at constructive criticism and the like, mostly because I would like to improve. Some of what some people have said about hiccups in my writing, I do my best to improve in those areas and I would like to think that I have. That said, if you want to be a troll; I'm of the belief that if you don't like my writing, don't read it. There's a wonderful thing on your screen called the back button. If you have a question, feel free to PM me, but it may take me a while to respond. Aside from wading through the quagmire that is my current personal life; I'm a single parent and work full time. That really chews up my free time.

Since I have recieved several PM's about it, none of my stories are dead, I am still working on them. But as I stated above, I am a single parent with minimal free time.

Also, if you don't like changes to the original works, characters, etc. you might want to spend your time reading those works instead of on a site where people routinely alter canon and play in the author's sandbox. I find it amusing when people go ballistic about 'changing canon.' Isn't that the whole point of fanfiction?
