Before reading onward, I ask of you all to please take your time to first read this note (even future readers please).

Hey everyone! It's been a long time, hasn't it?

I'm writing this little note to apologies and explain why I haven't written in practically a year and, most importantly, why updates will be sparser in the future.

During the first part of this year, I wasn't exactly in the best place- I won't get into much detail, but it was bad enough that I didn't have much energy or will to write. Then, this summer (2015) I had been possessed by an incoming exciting and terrifying situation: College!

Yup, I'm a college student now, a little more than a month in. I'm planning on majoring in creative writing (Yay! Unemployment!)! So this all means that, from between doing school work and social life and trying to get my first novel done before the end of what will be four short years, it'll be hard for me to find time to write Goblin.

Don't fear though! I promise I won't abandon it! I immensely enjoy writing this piece and, mostly importantly, I love making all you readers happy with it! I love seeing all your comments and how, even months of nothing, you will still write a comment saying that you're looking forward to an update. It means so much to me, it always makes my rainy days sunny and gives me courage when I feel I can't be a writer.

I'd like to give special thanks to:

Aisling 66, Angelic Aramina, Gabielel, GhibliGirl91, Honoria Granger, Kaytori, Livvy10253, Madman42, Mickeydawn995, Person3162012, Saskiamq, Smiles1998, UltimatePhangirlZoe

For loyally commenting or even writing a PM to ask about the story when I haven't done anything in a while! It means a lot! (Sorry if I forgot anyone! It's not intentional!)

And thanks to everyone else that I didn't name: from those who comment, to those who favored or followed, and to those who simply clicked onto Goblin and read through. Thank you all so much for support and for taking time to read what I have to give. Thank you.

Much love, mpenguin.

So, without further ado, here's the rest:
