I've been debating for a while about whether I should start this off with a "Thank You" or an "I'm Sorry". In the end, I've decided that "Thank You" better reflects my sentiment and appreciation for all of you. I am so thankful that I have been able to create something and receive such positive reactions and input from people around the world. However, I cannot seem to bring myself to continue. When I started this story at the beginning of 2016, I had imagined that by now, I'd be done. As I type this, it feels so surreal that I am announcing the end of this piece. It's a shame that things change and people grow, and 16 year-old-me just isn't as excited about this narrative as 12 year-old-me was. 


Nevertheless, I am not sorry that I started this. I do not regret spending my time on what I wrote, even if four lengthy years was a lot more than what I had had in mind. I am not sorry for ending this either, because I would rather end it than publish desultory chapters for you guys, who deserve much better than my lacking work, had I decided to continue. I have grown, and with age, my writing style and interests have matured as well. I am not sorry that I was ever a part of this fandom.


I feel like this has been so much more dramatic than it needs to be, but I just don't know how to express the amount of gratitude I have to those who are reading this. All of you deserve so much more than just a "Thank You". I am so thankful that you have stuck by my side while I published each chapter. I now realize that it wasn't the actual story that encouraged my love of writing, it was your support and encouragement. Unfortunately, I no longer see where I wanted to go with this, and I no longer feel as strong of a connection with the PJO/HoO community as I had back then. However, I am so happy that this was my first fandom, as for the first time, it motivated me to write. Today, writing has become a major part of my identity, and I owe all of this to you guys. This community and the books, in a large part, has made me who I am today, and I will always be so thankful. Thank you for welcoming me, encouraging me, and helping me grow up.


With that super dramatic ending (omg cringe), I am officially discontinuing this piece. Thank you for all of your years of support,  I will forever be grateful for the experiences and encouragement you have gifted me with.
