The KFP Hiatus explanation!

Hey folks, guess what, I'm still alive! I'm guessing that some of you might be pretty ticked off at me for not updating in the last -cough- Months... and first I'd like to apologize, and second I'd like to let you know I made a list of excuses. Please know that I am planning to continue and finish the story, in fact I'm almost done writing Chapter 7 and will probably replace this text with chapter 7 when it's done and edited...

Now for my excuse, which is mainly due to the fact that I was a bit discouraged after writing the 6th chapter. Please note, I'm trying not to sound arrogant or anything...but I like reviews. I guess I don't have much self esteem to begin with, since this story is the longest I've written...for public. So, when I didn't get as many reviews as I thought...I felt a little...okay really upset. No I'm not blaming you readers, I know you have your excuses. It just made me second guess my last chapter and myself. I kept wondering if it actually sucked, if I was ever really good at writing this story and well was a bit of an Emo writer... u.u (no offense to people who like Emos)

It got so bad that I even seriously considered leaving the story. I knew how the story would end after all...sort of. But I quickly realized that that wouldn't be fair to people who like it, faved it, and put it on alert...not to mention poor Sakana-chan, whom I love to bits, who would force me to draw her and the other Akatsuki members. -Sigh- So, no worries, I'm not quitting yet!

I also had a bit of writers block...that came and went when I thought about what the hell their bathroom looked like. Fits of wondering if I should edit the last chapter, a new addiction to a certain online game, my cell phone died in October, and this month my cat got sick but is now better, and the ever looming lack of a real paying job. Yup that's right readers, in RL I complain about stuff...but my mom says that all Pisces are whiners, men especially...er Kisame-same excluding... .

Please note that the chapters from here on in, will be a bit shorter since the story is drawing closer to the end. And I've got some ideas for one-shot sequels, but they wont happen till next year. I'm also tinkering with a new chapter story about Noraneko Naleh a weird Kunoichi, though it will involve the Konoha cast and will probably not have any Akatsuki, though they might be mentioned...

Finally, before I leave you I would just like you to know that I appreciate ideas, it would be very helpful. So, I guess I'll see you when Chapter. 7's up...hopefully before January...

Edit-evil spellchecker!! Not replacing the words... u.u0
