I have done just a horrible job updating this story, or even working on my other ones.

But I have a good reason for that: I got a new OS for my computer for Christmas, and I unfortunately forgot to back up my writing. And that is because I -spoiler- actually don't use Microsoft Word to do most of my writing, I used OneNote. And I forgot to back that up (cause I thought it would transfer to my new OS but it didn't) so I lost everything in that.

With the exception of my writing journal, I'm not too upset about losing everything else, so that's ok.

But the writing journal,

I actually didn't lose too much with the fanfictions I currently have up/barely started so I'm not that traumatized over losing those.

But here comes the bad news/important news I want to share with you guys:

A) I had an adaption for one of the other shows I watch from one of the episodes, and I did not back it up at all, so I lost that entire story. And I had a lot of progress on it, I was like maybe a quarter or a third of the way through (It was kind of a lengthy fanfic). So I am attempting to rewrite it, but I have just been so lazy recently so, that is just so sad.

B) Because I lost everything, including my planning, I may no longer update this story, or any of my other ones I have started. Because since I have lost the plans, my brain is like in the mindset where I no longer want to write this story. But that doesn't mean I will no longer not write this story, it's just that it will probably take me a long time before I update it, so please do not kill me for that. I sincerely apologize, but I just don't want to write it. I don't hate my story by any means, it's just I don't have too much motivation for me to finish it.

C) I am like stuck in this 75025974967390 year writer's block, and I have like no writing at all. I blame school, my laziness, and how busy my life is becoming now.

And D) I want to personally start writing novels. I have started writing several novels in the past, but I just have never finished them. So this year I want to accomplish writing at least 1 novel. I may or may not get a fiction press account so I can upload it to show you guys, but it's just I really want to focus on writing one novel this year. I do have a outline and some planning and stuff like that so I can start writing it, but like I mentioned in the previous point, I am stuck in this stupid writer's block so I have no idea when I shall start it. But hopefully I should have at least a couple chapters finished by the end of February.

So those are basically my reason for not updating this fanfic. I hope that you guys forgive me for the reason I mentioned, and again I promise that I will at least try to finish The Raven's Shadow before I fully move on into novel writing. So I hope that you guys do understand and again aren't too mad/upset that I may no longer write on this story, but again I promise to try to finish this. Thanks for reading this, and hopefully by the end of the month I will have another chapter of the story up.~~Blaze
