Hey there guys!

First I want to apologize. On the one hand because this isn't an update. I hate it when authors do it and I know it goes against the rules but I felt like I owe you this much. This chapter is going to be deleted soon anyway, it's just for your information.

The second reason for apologizing is because I won't be updating anytime soon. It's been so long that I have written or read anything about BATB or Smallville that I couldn't continue even if I wanted. Furthermore I read the beginning of Reversed and I'm not very content. I can do better. It is my first story after all. So I have reached a decision. I'm taking my stories down. Here is my reasoning:

A few of you keep reviewing or sending messages asking for updates on several of the stories. I hate to disappoint. So I decided to never post a story again that is in progress. I'll wait until it is completed and post in intervals.

My life is crazy. Two jobs, university and a ton of issues cause me not to be able to update regularly. And every time it has been too long I lose touch to the topic. I can't grasp my idea anymore and I can't bother to try when I have so little time.

So I decided to take them down, read them and improve the chapters. That way I am going to feel the stories again and finish them.

I am however realistic. It isn't going to happen over night. Real life comes first and it's just a hobby. It should relax me not stress me further. so, I'm going to write in whatever pace I'm comfortable with and only if I'm feeling like it and can spare the time. The positive thing is, that if it isn't online yet, it won't affect anybody else. I hate it too, when I read a story and get hooked and it gets abandoned. I don't want to do it anymore. I want to stop disappointing the few people who stick with me and I want to avoid the pressure.

I'm going to take one story at a time starting with Reversed. I can't promise whether the first update will be in a week, a month or a year. Only that I plan on finishing this story as well as the other ones. I have even tackled the first chapter. The main plot won't be changed, only the writing. As I will try to write differently and in third person it might seem completely different but I assure you the development will be the same.

I am asking for your understanding and your opinion, whether it is via reviews or messages is up to you. Furthermore, I am going to need a Beta before updating. If you have experience and like the story, let me know.

I hope you understand and promise to be back eventually.

Thanks for the support,

Calyptra
