Hello everyone, t'is Yukiko here.

I know it's been ages since I've updated, but I can't do anything at the moment. My PC crashed and it's still in reparation, and I probably won't have it back until the end of August. It's not fair, but hey, I can't do anything about it! They thought they would manage to salvage my documents, but my darling PC decided to completely refuse, point blank.

So really, I'm very pissed. Well, not at the guys who're trying to save my poor computer, but at the computer itself. Not only have I lost a year of work on Spring Time, but also various precious information, pictures, music and other miscellaneous things.

I had two chapters done and a half one I was still working on, so I'm completely demoralised about going back to write it all up again. I'm still mourning for the loss, sorry, so do not expect anything for another while yet. I know that you're not very happy about it, but hopefully you'll understand that I can do nothing at the moment, and even if I wanted to, I could probably not restart working on anything because of lack of enthusiasm and ideas.

Also, my next year at school will be rather harsh on me, I'll have Lating and Chinese at the same time, and being a complete novice in both languages it's going to take much of my time to just remember everything.

But do not worry too much! I will NOT abandon this story, I love it too much, but I will rewrite some chunks of it to make it better. This is the first story that I really want to finish, I just have to get there.

I wish you all a nice ending for your holidays, before we all go back to slaving either at work or at school.

This was Yukiko, out.
