Dear Faithful Reviewers-

Listen, folks, I love you all dearly but I have an unfortunate announcement to make. Due to lack of time, lack of health and essentially enormous writers block (and the loss of my muse) I am only going to be able to update two fics at a time. Since I am currently working on a large writing project under a different name, I have no other choice but to choose one fic on this name.

I owe my deepest apologies to those who are disappointed by this decision. *bows and kisses feet* I'm not sure where my muse has gone but when it returns I should be able to continue working on all these fics. Though I can't say I wont dabble in a few of them every once in a while, I wont be updating the other fics often.

So, I know you are all wondering, which fic I have chosen. Well, after much decision making, and the fact that there are more people requesting further chapters, I have chosen 'Slave in the Sand'. If this fic is not 'Slave in the Sand' then it won't be updated for a while. To all of those who have faithfully read, reviewed and waited anxiously for the chapters of:

'Silent Treatment'

'Just One More Little Sip aka I Will Never Live This Down'

'Free Magic'

and

'Send the Solution'

I owe my deepest apologies to all of you. It isn't like they won't ever be updated. In fact, I have most of the chapters written for them (badly written, but they are near done). The fact is I am not happy with my work. I've really been slipping lately, and I can't produce the work that I normally expect of myself.

Again, I apologize to all of my loyal reviewers in the categories I have put aside for the moment. As soon as 'Slave in the Sand' is finished I will consider picking up the next fic. I already have planned which one it is, so those people who have enjoyed 'Send the Solution' should be happy. With much luck, and a nice inspiration faerie, I should be starting on that one in less than a month.

More apologies and much groveling. I love you all. You really are great to me but I just can't seem to do what I used to do easily. Sorry.
