CHAPTER 79: The Dread Pirate Roberts is Currently Unavailable, Please Hang Up and Try Again Later

"So… Um… Author-san?"

"You don't have any ideas either do you Author-sama?"

"Surprisingly, no."

"Big oof. Uh, so what do we do now?"

"I… Don't know? I mean, we still have some prompts but no ideas for them. No more backlog- well, one chapter, but that's it…"

"Hmmm, I really hate to say it but we may have to go on a hiatus. I really never wanted to have to do that. That's one reason I've tried to have several chapters in extra."

"I know, I remember speed writing 9 chapters when you went on that trip… I think another issue we're having is we both want to work on other stories but keep getting sidetracked by this one. I agree, and although it pains me, we need to go on hiatus for a while."

"So, I am very sorry readers, but we are going on a hiatus until we can write more Dollar General. We will post the last chapter we have written, chapter 80, and then you probably won't hear from this story for a bit."

"Which makes us as sad as you. I honestly was hoping to get through chapter 100 before something like this happened, but we've been going for more than 2 years now and sometimes you just need a break."

"We've had fun, I've been on a TMNT spree since chapter 30."

"I've had so many adventures in the various universes of Dollar General."

"But we have other things that need doing. Like writing something other than TMNT and angst… No, that's what I'm going to be writing anyway, just off of Dollar General."

"And I have 3 WIPs, one of which is a novel that I have been working on for.. 4 years now? I think?"

"Man… This is getting as sappy as chapter 49. Why does this keep happening?"

"... I would have thought chapter 39 but that works too. Back to the point, Dollar General is going on Hiatus until we have 10 more chapters in the bag."

"Uh… Hold on, let me check my dates."

"Hmm?"

"... Thought we shared a birthday with Unus Annus, but we are actually a single month older. Darn, that would have been cool."

"Still cool actually. What's the necromancer's version of Memento Mori? Memento Mori-not? Remember you will become undead?"

"DEAD INSIDE YOU SAY?! NYAHAHAHA… Oh Tumblr, never change."

"Hahahaha! Haaaaa. Now I'm curious… There: Memento erimus retro, Remember we will be back."

"And we will eventually be! In a very threatening way!"

"Author-san… why…?"

"Why not?"

"Ugh. Chapter 79? The temporary penultimate chapter?"

"Chapter 79. May we haunt your dreams until we meet again."
