You're all going to kill me, but this isn't an update. I have an explanation for why I haven't updated Pretty Little Devil and I think I should tell it to you all. Here are several reasons for the long delay/hiatus:

One: I am a high school student. Everybody who has ever been in high school will tell you that if you take five APs, an Honors class and then Newspaper where you work as an Editor, you have little time to do anything but study, cry and sleep (maybe). I've survived, but I'll be Editor-in-Chief next year, so I have tons of summer work for that as well as AP preparation.

Two: My family has recently fallen apart. Like…initiation of the Third Reich and dropping of the A-bomb "fall apart." It's bad. All those movies about drugs, lies, bankruptcy, etc etc. Yeah—they actually happen. Yay.

Three: For certain reasons (see Two), I find myself in severe need of a job and a car, so I've been trying to get everything done within a short time frame in order to begin making bacon to pay for things I shouldn't have to worry about, but obviously need to. Again—yay.

Four: I just haven't been very inspired with the Naruto fandom as of late. I haven't watched since like Season 2 of Shippuden and I just don't have the time or patience to catch up. Plus, I've become so used to Fandom Sakura that Canon Sakura just pisses me off. My feminist ideals keep making me want to Rasengan my laptop into a wall when I watch, so…that's kind of an issue.

Five: I have rediscovered my love for Kpop. This is probably the most trying reason. I run several blogs and do a lot of dance covers and events, etc etc for this fandom. Everything can be traced back to Kpop. Everything. My entire iPod is full (which is a problem in-and-of itself) and my body aches from all the practicing I do to learn these insanely hard dances (but it's a good pain). My love for Kpop is seriously something to be feared.

Okay, there are probably other reasons, but I can't think of any right now.

So, my options are as follows:

A: I can discontinue Pretty Little Devil and my other current stories on this account and start something new, something fresh to reinvigorate my interest.

B: I can place Pretty Little Devil under reconstruction and rewrite previous chapters, which may or may not take a long time, but it may help me decide where I want to go with the story and how I'm going to do it.

C: I can update Pretty Little Devil. It may be painful, but I have forced myself to write before and sometimes it gets me interested again.

D: I can do any combination of the above.

Here's what you can do to help me, PM me or comment below and tell me what you think I should do. Because, honestly, I'm kind of lost.

Thanks for all your support and patience! Again, I'm sorry for the delay and inconsistent updates (or lack thereof completely).

Love. Love. Love.

Kiss. Kiss.
