A Very Long Delay

Hey guys.

The reason for this post is to update you guys on the progress of Chapter 9, as well as explain my lack of updates for the story.

Simply put, I'm under a lot of stress, mainly from schoolwork and upcoming exams.

If you don't know, I'm in the IB Diploma Programme, meaning that I have a lot of coursework to do, some of which I have yet to finish. As of right now, I have a lot on my plate. My procrastination doesn't really help me either.

With final exams approaching this November, I have to really start studying right now if I want to make it to my dream university. Not that I have one, but I'm considering options. If I screw up, I don't get another shot, so this is kind of my make-it-or-break-it moment.

What does this mean for any story I upload, you may ask?

As of right now, I'll be switching from a weekly posting of "Blazing Hope" to a biweekly or a monthly posting, depending on which is more stable for me. Chapter 9 will be out hopefully within the first week-and-half of July.

Unfortunately, I will have to put the Q&A on ice, mostly because I feel that there is not enough character development. I mean, what's the point of doing a Q&A if there's no character depth in the first place?

I will be focusing more on one-shots, some revolving around RWBY and Fire Emblem, and other things that I show interest in.

Since November is my exam month, I'll be uploading infrequently from the second half of September to the first half of November. Even after that, I'm not sure what's going to happen, as I may go overseas as a form of celebration. December will be the month when I'll be free (mostly) again, so expect that to be the peak month.

So that's what 2014 looks like to me. 2015 and 2016 are stuff that I'll delve into at a later date, since my national service falls into those two years.

So that's all I have to say. Hopefully you guys understand.

In the meantime, go read some other fanfiction, watch a couple of movies (No HTTYD2 spoilers pls), write your own stuff, go study, do your own thing.

Peace.
