Hello all,

I know it has been a moment since I was active in the group, but rest assured I am still here. The reason for my post is to update the group on a pending change. After careful consideration, I have decided to move forward and publish the stories I have posted on Dokuga. After a long conversation with Wiccan, I decided to take her advice and let the group know that within the next few days some of my stories will be taken down. Though this will initially only start with The Western Bond, it will eventually encompass all of them with Il Tempo Della Tua Vita being the next to come down. I wanted to let everyone know in case there was a desire to make copies of them before they are no longer active. Unfortunately, once the stories are down I respectfully ask the group to avoid further sharing of them; however, I do not have a problem with those who wish to keep a copy in their private collections.

On a side note, I want to thank the group for all the wonderful support over the years. I have been with the group since before we transferred over to Dokuga, all the way back to the Spark years. It has been the wonderful reviews and constant encouragement that the group has provided that has given me the courage to move forward with publication, and I know that without the group I never would have made this decision. You all have been the best editors and critics that a person could possibly hope for and I will forever be grateful. In fact, I have decided to dedicate my first book to the group and though I cannot keep my stories up, I will still remain an active member.

I cannot thank everyone enough for all their support and I hope that any others who are thinking of publication can make their dream a reality. This group is truly comprised of the music makers and I know that we will always be the best. Since this will be my first shot at publication, I ask any members who may have helpul suggestions to please contact me with their tips.

Again, I thank you all for everything and know that I will still be about even after I have to pull everything down.

My love to everyone,

Renata Kramersmeier aka Aeries
