Seriously, thank you for the sentiment. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond; I was out of town and didn't have very reliable internet connection. Despite my long absence from the fanfic community, it's still really encouraging to hear that my writing's still entertaining people out there. I can't promise anything, but I'll definitely try and make an effort to update HoPI. (It's been so long since I've last worked on it, I'm not sure where I was going with the plot. Lol.)
