Greetings to all my patient and loyal readers. I am truly surprised yet honored and proud of how popular this fanfic has become, considering that this is technically my first story. Thank you all for your loyal support throughout this time.

Now, it's time to acknowledge the elephant in the room: my rather sudden and long absence from this story. When I first made this story, the inspiration had come while i was preoccupied with important things. Final exams, projects, essays, presentations, job interviews, an actual job that turned out to be very vigorous and exhausting, extensive personal issues involving family, and acting as a Beta-Reader for other authors. And whenever I did have free time, I was either struck with writer's block or too mentally exhausted to write anything. Now, I am fully aware that it just sounds like I'm just laying out a ton of excuse, and I suppose I am, but unfortunately it's the truth. And despite my best efforts, things haven't exactly gotten better in terms of exams, job interviews, and jobs, and real life issues are unpredictable and indefinite in time.

So unfortunately, if it wasn't already evident, I am leaving this story on hiatus for the time being. I hate it too, believe me, but until my schedule gets better and I can get back into the groove of things with writing Marvel, it is something I must do. I am not giving up writing, and I may pursue other stories to write, but until then, this story is officially on break.

Also, for anyone interested: I am looking for someone who is well-versed in Marvel lore, and I am NOT just talking about the MCU(the MCU is undeniably an epic film franchise that I love dearly, but it does have its limits of its portrayals of characters and usage of storylines). This person should have a decent, if not comprehensive, knowledge of the comic storylines. Contrary to what many fans of the MCU think, Marvel is much more dangerous than you might initially think, with an abundance of OP and dangerous characters that are not easily bested, even for the strongest and greatest of heroes. It's one of the main reasons why my SI has more powers and will gain more as time goes on compared to canon Spider-Man. I am NOT doing this for the sake of making some crazy OP MC, and contrary to what some of you might think, my SI is NOT invincible or some sort of Gary-Stu character, nor is this a wish-fulfillment fanfic. My SI will face serious challenges in the future, and everything will certainly NOT be going his way all the time. So I kindly ask that the complaints of such please come to an end.

Thank you, and I hope you all understand.
