I'm sorry, you all probably hate me thinking this was a chapter. I would have sent you all private messages, but that would have taken way too long. After reading a review from one of my loyal fans (LixalTheNobody1997) I decided to write something up real quick to explain myself in detail.

Okay, let's begin.

The story….well….kinda ran away from me, so to speak. I had the fundamental ideas and everything, but as reviews came and new ideas were created, I started adding more and more into the chapters. I was seriously straying from my original ideas, but I thought 'hey, it's cool! Saving Axel really had no direction after chapter 6' so I ignored it. Then I wrote out chapter nine where, if you all can recall, Axel's depressed, Roxas's is depress, Xion moves out, Reno gets kidnapped, and a bunch of other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. Basically, it snowballed and crashed into a very large tree and exploded…metaphorically speaking of course. I reached a point where I decided that the story couldn't continue the way it was going, so I post that chapter, and discussed this issue in detail with my beta. I even tried writing chapter 10, thinking I could fix it simply, but I was never happy with it, nor could I figure out what I was doing. She and I decided that my brain was torn between two things. This story, and the one I plan to write when this is done.

So comes chapter nine, my hiatus, my beta's message. So, after that went up, I focused solely on that new idea and incorporated a new member to my little team. She will simply be known as my researcher until she comes up with a cool name for herself like my beta, Super Beta Libb. Anyway, I digress, we started to research histories and topics and places to make it as real as possible. I wrote out a prologue test story to be published later. After a month and a half of this, I decided to log on to my account to check some things, I saw this story…the amount of reviews…the people who reviewed…and I felt like a big jerk. So, I dug out my journal, grabbed my pencil and tried to figure out what the hell was going on in this story. It took a good two weeks to figure it out, but thankfully, I did, I even started writing chapter 10 again.

(Cue celebration music)

Then something terrible happened…School(shivers).

Now with school in the mix, I found my classes to be pretty demanding. I'm sorry to say, but I happen to put my education before my writing, a personal thing I have for myself. As long as my grades are up, I'm free to allow myself to write. So, for the past…oh, I don't know…two months I guess, I've been using any free time I have to write for Saving Roxas. Even better news, I wrote out six chapters thus far, working on the seventh, and plan to write two more after that (cue more celebration music). So, you all can expect nine, decently long chapters eventually.

Key word there, eventually.

There is still a tiny issue left, and, as much as I hate to say this, it's my beta. She's been in college since August, taking her classes, and I believe to be doing reasonably well. She tried to take on a job as well, but it didn't work out so well, and now I'm just allowing her that down time to relax. So, she has school, I have school, the chapters are only written so fast…err…I'm really sorry. This is all my fault, direct all hate mail to me, just don't kill me. But, I will make you all a promise!

Ahem

I, DivineSoul, promise all of my reviewers (friends), that there will be a chapter up (or multiple chapters) before Christmas! I swear on my own life it will happen. Just give us a little more time! Please!

As I said before, I'm really sorry, my beta is sorry, we both hope for your forgiveness. And, not to get off topic, but I'm shocked that at least someone (LixalTheNobody1997) decided to remind me to get off my lazy ass and explain myself. If you actually read this, I'm very thankful, and any additional questions of comments you can either review this, or message me. I promise to try and respond in a timely manner. Sorry this was un-betaed…I wrote this in a hurry cause I have somewhere to be. Thank you to everyone!
