Just wanted to write a quick author's note for this fic. I am still alive and kicking and planning to continue it. I've just hit a major writers block as well as a busy holiday season so I haven't been able to get anything out. I can't give a solid date as to when the next update will be out, but I'm hoping sometime in the next few weeks I'll have some breathing room and some creative energy to complete the next chapter. I apologize for the long wait, folks.
