I am terribly sorry to all of my beloved fans to have to you tell you this right before Christmas.

I've been trying to begin writing the next chapter for this story, but unfortunately ever since the finale I feel as if my muse for this story has died.

I know what I want to do and how I want to do a small that, I just simply can't pick up the pen as it were.

I truly hope that I shall be cured of this before the second half's premier, if not by the premier itself.

But it grieves me a tell you that until that time, Rumpelstiltskin's Strangest Deal will be on a hiatus, for an unknown length of time.


I feel very unusual saying this. Considering the circumstances.

But a very Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year.

And I greatly hope that I shall be able to get back on the saddle again very soon.


My sincerest apologies.

P.S. On a completely different side note, I did post a one-shot that ties into Rumpelstiltskin's Strangest Deal called Rumpelstiltskin's Strangest Deal – Binding Test.

It ties into Chapter 14: Skin Deep.

Hopefully it will help ease the blow.
