After re-reading ODN, I've decided I'll keep it published until I finish my next WIP. Once I'm ready to post my current WIP, I will be taking down ODN. The story has lived it's time. I'd rather rewrite it then let it stay. Thank you to everyone that has expressed their love for the story over the years and thank you everyone that inspired me to write the story during some of my darkest times. However, seven years later, all 'grown up' with different values and a sense of consciousness, I cannot morally allow myself to keep this story published. I don't know how long it'll stay up for, but it'll be a long while since I'm a slow writer and currently in University.
          	So I'm going through it now making sure all the parts are appropriate, ensuring EVERYTHING between Ara and Xander is 100% consensual and CANNOT be interpreted as otherwise.
          	Thank you.

So glad to see you back! Been here since that first chapter was published when I was a kid. Lol. I look forward to the revised version!!

As I started to read I noticed the small changes. I always enjoyed a good read no matter the story line. Will give it another go although the main story line had me hooked the first time because the intensity of what happend. Best of wishes to you. Stay safe!

@insanity_tainted unfortunately i have no motivation to edit this out the way it truly deserves, although I have made an outline for a completely revised edition that may or may not be completely different to the original. but i hope that with the small tweaks i've done so far, this story is somewhat bearable!

hi all!
          i am so so sorry for taking ODN down. i'm going through serious revisions to remove the key aspect to the story because i was so  uncomfortable and ashamed with the original storyline. i wrote this story as a kid, and so many years have passed since then that i came to realise that my views and values have changed. because i am so, so greatful for everyone who loves the story, i'm going to publish it all again and make sure that EVERYTHING that happens between arabella and xander is 100% consensual. nothing else apart from this will change.
          i hope you can all forgive me. and for those who were hurt by my story, i am so sorry from the bottom of my heart.

@dreamingofmars No, I actually absolutely loved the story. One of the best I've read here. It's really unique and beautiful and I get it if you want to take it down but I will still be waiting for the updates. I'm just glad you're okay and back ;)
