... Heh. Hey, everybody ^^'

Okay, so I guess I should start off by saying I'm not dead, or anything; let's get that out of the way. Now, on to my terrible, terrible failure to upload a new chapter.

First off, I wanna say thanks to the people who liked my first few chapters. I know there weren't a lot of you, but thanks all the same, it really means a lot :)! And it's you folks I really hate letting down like this.

As for the state of the story, well... I guess the best I can say is "I'm not cancelling it." I really don't want to, because I know where I want it to go, and I like where I want it to go, but I just ran into a lot of trouble trying to get it there. I'm actually thinking I may wanna revise the parts I've already written a bit, just cuz I feel like some of them could've been done better. Anyways, writer's block, real life catches up, work pileup, you know how it is...T_T

For now, though, I want you folks to know that I really DO want to continue this story! And I also really want you to know how much your opinion of it means to me, so for those of you still caring enough to read this, please leave a review, just saying what you like about it, so far, what could use some improvement, and maybe even leave a review suggesting stuff you wanna see in future chapters. Who knows, maybe hearing other people's ideas will get the old brain cells a-runnin'? (and NO, I'm not gonna steal anyone's ideas, don't worry!)

So, yeah, this is an indefinite hiatus, just until I can find some more time/inspiration. Again, I'm really sorry to the people who were waiting (even though I doubt anyone was really that torn up about it), and I hope to see your comments, soon! :D
