Christmas Pterodactyl

Hello. Due to extreme technical difficulties and a hard drive crash, I am unfortunately forced to put Indistinguishable From Magic on hiatus. I will continue to work on this while on hiatus but I will be unable to post updates until procurement of a new computer happens. My apologies to anyone who has enjoyed this yarn so far. I only hope that we can pick up where we left off soon.

As always, thanks for your readership.

Sincerely,

xmaspterodactyl

Notes: Action, adventure, romance. A Jedi craves not these things. But that’s what you’re gonna find here. Been working on this about a year, off and on since June of 2012. Oh, and there’s no Jedi here. Seriously, none.

And as always, sorry for the typos.
