There's no doubt I've been MIA for over a half a year now. I checked my email for the first time in months two days ago, and I'm very surprised I still have people alerting and fave-ing this story! I've been busy with university, working really hard the past couple of terms to meet the requirements for a term abroad. And well, on a very happy, accomplished note, after numerous calls and application forms and what not, all I have to do now is decide whether to go to Seoul National University in Korea or Technischen Universität München in Germany. Ohoh, time to brush up on my German (Das ist meine Apfel! haha).

On a sad note, that means I'll barely be on Fictionpress for the next couple of months or ever again. So to those that may actually still want to read this story, I'm sort of 'giving' it to the closest friend I have hear on fictionpress, the milk bottle, who convinced me that I shouldn't put the idea to waste. We've known each other since high school, when our schools would compete in fencing. Of course, I never played against her because I'm a sabreuse and she's a foilist, haha! But anyway, she's in this strange writing stage right now so I'm giving the story to her and I'm helping her write it. She's a great writer by the way, so trust in her! Haha! It's sad because when I first thought of the story, I was so excited, but then my interest in writing sort of died out. Sigh. Well, we've reused and edited some scenes, removed and added new characters, and sort of changed people's personalities, because to be honest, I couldn't relate with the characters anymore. I first wrote this story back in high school and now that I'm in university, I'd like to think it could be a lot better than what it originally was. Hahaha!

You've probably noticed that I've left the first parts of each chapter in tact. That's for copyright purposes in case anything were to happen. Yikes. So yes, please go over to the milk bottle's profile to check the story out! We're going to be posting the first chapter in a while, which could be in a couple of minutes or an hour or so. :)
