I regret to inform those who were interested on my Taoris adaptation of the movie The Fifth Element that all progress on it has been halted until further notice. :(

The past year for me has been a bit difficult in so many different ways. I lost my job and fell into financial hardship for a period spanning from March 2014 to September 2014. It took me a while to settle into a new job and even that was such a huge struggle that that I almost ended up in a situation where I would have had no choice but to leave my job due to circumstances outside of my control. Things weren't easy, but the entire time I relied heavily upon writing as my salvation, even if I was just sitting and writing a sentence a day.

For a while I thought about posting The Fifth Element as a chaptered story but I instead decided to just write it out in one go first, and then figure out posting later. I had written just over eight thousand words when other issues arose, like me more or less moving into a new home and beginning a new relationship. Even now I've only just begun to settle into some semblance of normalcy and routine.

Unfortunately, in between all of this figurative and literal moving around and settling in, I seem to have misplaced my most recent draft of The Fifth Element. I bought a new laptop and after transferring everything from a desktop I'd been using, the document I found contained only the teaser. That's 7500 words -- gone. I'm not a fast writer, so all of that progress, no matter how little it might seem to some people, meant all the world to me. It may be gone, ...but it also might not be.

My desktop that the original draft was on is currently being used by a close family friend while her computer is being repaired by my boyfriend. Once I have access to it again we'll know for sure if it is lost or not, and if it isn't, I'll try my damnedest to finish it as soon as I can. If not, it might be even longer since rewriting is not a task I enjoy, nevermind the fact that losing 7500 words of fic is a huge discouragement all its own.

I want to thank the 30 subscribers who are interested in the fic and I'm sorry that this had to happen. ;__; I hope all of you understand, and I hope to be able to greet you more positively in the future. ♥♥♥
