Ocean Girl fans old and new,

As much as I enjoyed the raved reviews of the first three chapters of my Ocean Girl fanfic, "The Conquest of Atlantis," I have decided to discontinue the story. The reason being that as I was talking late one night about two months ago with a friend of mine about the story and the whole intricated plot I had developed, he asked me what part of the story I had created from my own ideas after finding out why I haven't sold the story yet. When it came down to analyzing it, I realized that about 90% was my own creation- Neri, Jason, Brett, Mera, Oceania (the name of which I still claim is one of my own but JMS won't admit), Malakat, Hellegren, ORCA, the Pyramids, and Neri's Island were simply how I started the story and after that, it totally went off into my own world.

So over my past winter holiday from school, I have been working more on a new story out of the plot of my old one simply entitled "The Conquest of Atlantis." It has Dylan in a role that I think he more suited for since he is a very complex character and it makes him more real.

Sorry to dissapoint all of you who were looking forward to the fourth chapter. I might work on it some in the future if I get the urge.
