Hey sorry for not having updated the last few months, I've been busy this summer as a lot of crazy things in life have happened. I have not abandoned this story and you'll be glad to know chapter 2 is nearing completion. It and chapter 3 will be two parter of Ben meeting the neighbors and Mrs. Lovat. It will be done this week, the latest the weekend. I already have the idea of chapter 3 already laid out, just need to figure out how I want to use the Coraline characters in that chapter and how to set up their introduction with Ben. I promise you guys will love chapter 2 as it will leave you questioning a few things so it will be worth the wait. See you when I post chapter 2!
