A quick message from the author:

Sorry to leave you all hanging, I swear I'm still alive, I'm just CRAZY busy these days. I got a full-time job, I'm taking classes, and I have a burdgeoning relationship with someone I really like, so I haven't had any time at all to really sit down and write lately. I haven't forgotten about this story or any of my other story ideas, I just don't have any flipping time at the moment, I'm afraid. I will still try my best to get back to this and finish it up, but probably not for quite a while. Thanks for reading this far, and please feel free to subscribe to the story so you'll know when I do manage to get it going again.

Your patience is appreciated, while the author earns a living! :D
