Heads up - THis is just one long (or not, I don't really know) author's note. I'm sorry, you've been very, very, very patient, but the next chapter is still not done.
Okay, replies first... Because you people are amazing and deserve it. And a virtual hug, because just looking at your guys' reviews again is making me all smiley and teary-eyed, and I wish I was kidding, but I'm not.
Lioness Deity: *Virtual hug* Thank you for reviewing... And more gore you say? Well, I can guarantee at least one dead body per chapter... And I believe you won't be disappointed. Heh.
Guest: *virtual hug* Aww... Thank you... But the next chapter won't be out for a while... Don't be mad?
MaharlxLaharl: *Virtual hug* Thank you... And thank you for taking time out of your day to check out the rest of my stories - it really means a lot, more than I'm willing to admit. And I'm not offended in the least that you decided to make a personality chart - why would I be? I actually feel a little flattered... and mildly alarmed at how accurate it is... And I'm going to start rambling here, so I'll just cut myself off now. Thank you again!
One with the Voodoo: *Virtual hug* Thank you... And a pretty please with a cherry on top? Who on Earth could resist that? Not me, that's who. But... You're gonna have to wait a while... I hope that's okay...
And now... the excuses. So, it's been... A month, two months since I last updated Redrum. There's actually a few very good reasons for this. First off, end-of-the-year exams started, and the teachers ended up dropping projects on us during it, and I just didn't have time to update during that. And immediately after the school year ended, we went on a month-long vacation to visit family. I didn't have my stories with me, so I couldn't write or anything.
Okay. That's out of the way. Second thing: Redrum was originally just a oneshot. I had no intention of continuing it - I was reading Along Came a Spider (that was a terrifying beast, let me tell you), and I was bored during English and Math. The music I was listening to helped a lot too. Anyway, I ended up writing, and it somehow turned out as Redrum. I edited it a bit, added some more, and decided to post it up here, because why not.
And then you guys reviewed.
You have no idea how much I smiled. I actually cried a little. You know how people look when they get proposed to and are happy about it? Yeah. You did that to me. Y'all are beautiful people, and like I said, I wish I was kidding when I said I got all teary-eyed, but I'm not. You, the readers and reviewers behind the monitors, are my motivation for this story, I swear. Because of you, I opened up a new document, and I started writing chapter two. Is it almost done? Hell no. It's only two, three pages, and I'm gonna try to hit at least ten per chapter. Because you deserve something that you can actually sink your teeth into, rather than some pathetic one-n-a-half page chapter. I don't know how long it'll be before I post it, and I don't know how long this story is going to last, but I do have a vague idea of where it's going. I'm also working on a second story that I haven't posted yet, so it's going to take a take a long time. However, I want to say that I can almost certainly tell you that it should be up during either this month or the next.
Again, I'm sorry, I know you were probably expecting a second chapter, but I wanted to let you know so I wasn't just leaving you hanging for another month or so.
