Hey, sorry for tricking you and making you think that there was a new chapter when, actually, it's just a bit of news. But very important news concerning the story. Yes, for I am going to tell you of a very big change.

Right, let's not beat around the bush. This story has been terribly planned out. In fact, you can say it hasn't been planned out at all. Furthermore, this story is boring, isn't it? Just reading on as Alfred and Arthur fall in love, la-di-da, nothing much ever happening, besides romance and all that mushy stuff. And so, I am discontinuing the story.

However, I shall recontinue it in a new format. I have been replanning OBAB lately with help from my life-saving, story-saving friend, pie1313, and we have come up with a plan for Alfred and Arthur's love life. But not just the love life of Alfred and Arthur, oh no; for I will be introducing more couples into the story. Yes, that's right - Of Books and Beverages will now cover the falling in love process of five couples, which are:

USUK
Gerita
Spamano
Giripan
Sufin

The more the merrier, right? If you don't like any of the couples in the list, you can easily avoid them, for they will be updated in that order (For example: CH1 - USUK, CH2 - Gerita, CH3- Spamano, CH4 - Giripan, CH5 - Sufin, CH6 - USUK, CH7 - Gerita, all in a big circle like that, so if you want to skip Giripan then miss out on chapters such as 4 and 9 and so on, or if you want to miss Gerita then miss out on chapters such as 2 and 7, etc etc). However, some couples may intersect and briefly appear in one another's slots, so you can't avoid them then, I'm afraid. I hope you enjoy nonetheless.

This change is going to take a while to initiate, for I have to plan out all the details for all five couples (although USUK is going to pretty much go in the same direction it was, with Alfred working at the coffee shop and Arthur, who works at the bookshop, meeting him there), but I hope you can be patient, for some of the chapters are already underway and looking pretty good, if I do say so myself. I hope that those of you following this story continue to do as such, despite the change.

Thank you ever so much for your support of OBAB, despite the lack of updates. I apologise for being so disorganised, and promise to fix it up well and good and never do it again.
