So, bad news.

Tomorrow, August 20th of the year 2014, I start college again. Now, this wouldn't be such a big deal since I've updated before in the past, but coupled with the fact that Heroes of Olympus Book 5: The Blood of Olympus is being released on October 7th, I have to rearrange fic priorities. Rites of Blood is woefully incomplete, and it's only Book 2 of my Stregoni Benefici Percy Jackson saga.

So, as of now, I'm going to focus full efforts on that fic so that I can finish it before the year is over.

Now, this doesn't mean that I'm abandoning my other fics. I realize that I haven't updated The Eleventh Commandment in over two months, but my readers are going to have to be patient…-er. It doesn't help that I messed up the last chapter (the one I'm writing, that is) so I'm kinda stuck now. I'll get inspiration, don't worry, but not now.

As for A Single Choice and its planned sequel, A Single Choice: Sippuden (Points for originality please!)… well, every chapter I've written so far for that fic is over 10000 words long. As such, the jumps in chronology are enormous; not as big as other fics, but still. Writing is slow on that as well, since I'm overhauling the entire Naruto Universe. Other fics change one thing, and one thing only in AU fics, but so far I've only seen one fic that did something similar to mine (Kakashi's father ended up being the fifth Hokage, but that's pretty much the only thing I remember). Other fics make Naruto stronger, but Sasuke and Sakura are the same. I don't include Time Travel fics because that's a whole other category, so don't mention 'em, please.

The point is, all efforts are going into Heroes of Olympus "Book" 2 – Rites of Blood. It's my personal goal to finish it before The Blood of Olympus is released, so I'll aim for that.

Thank you for understanding.

Yours truly,
