I am sorry to report that The Cerinian Earth is going on indefinite hiatus. My reasons run thus:

The first is that, like all writers/authors, I've become too attached, too intertwined in the making of this fic, and cannot step back like I normally do to critically edit it. I've a pair of betas helping me cut down on some of the size/revise earlier chapters, but progress is slow. I know this thing inside out, but now I cannot read it like any ordinary reader could. Too many "errors" visible to authors alone scream out at me to finish when all I want to do is get back on track.

The second… I am tired. I've poured literally all of my energy into remaking this and revising it to be the best it can be. Now I need to step back and work on other projects to break this writer's block upon me. Furthermore, while I know exactly what is going to happen after I finish a revised version of Chapter Seven, and its extended second half into Chapter Eight, there is something which is preventing me from proceeding. Mental exhaustion is what it is.

I don't know when I'll be back to writing this, but my estimate is, at the very least, one year. Don't worry, I shan't abandon this story, but I won't run it or me into the ground. I've got other fics to occupy my time now, and you'll be seeing more work in Star Fox from me—but not this story.

So, have fun on your reading/writing projects; I thank you all for putting up with my idiosyncrasies and flaws and blunders and all of that; I hope to see you when I get back; and don't forget to do an aileron roll, not a barrel roll. ;)

Cheerio!
