Okay, dear readers, before you all begin flaming, please let me give my alibi. First off, I appreciate your reviews- 32 is a lot for only four chapters, I know stories with many, many chapters that have received less. I appreciate that you love the work I have put into this story, I like it myself. It even earned me two spots on the favorites lists of anime-angel and Xaphania (Thank you!), something that pleases me beyond belief as a writer to know that I've really impressed someone with my work. But this isn't a letter of sentimentality, so I'll get back to the point that you probably are already expecting and dreading.

Sadly, Across the Aquarium is about to take a holiday. Chapters 5 and 6 will be posted soon, but further updates are ultimately postponed until I find the time to write them. It's beginning to feel like work to me, and when writing becomes work, it sucks the fun out of it, and that is the essecnce of writing for the creator. Plus, between four other fics, homework, computer viruses, grounding, family, and not to mention romantic problems, the pressure of writing this is bringing me down.

I know it's something big to ask you to please bear with me in this, but I hope that if you like this story enough you'll stick with it long enough until I can find the time to update it. I can't make you, but I truly hope so. Most writers won't even flat-out tell you this. Don't expect anything to be up for a while, though, it'll be slow but I'll try to update as soon as I've written anything, when I write anything.

I'll probably really upset someone by saying this, but in the world of writing, where there are so many opinions, I've learned you can't possibly please everyone. I can, however, ask you to please visit some of my other works, which will be revived during this "break". So check for updates.

But, at this time, Across the Aquarium is officially on hiatus until further notice.

Many Apologies and Best Reguards,
