I know, I know, I'm not supposed to post an author's not as a chapter, but this really needs to get said...so sue me, alright? Well, actually, don't...I don't have enough time to be sued right now...

Dear my beloved (and much, much, much, much ((did I mention much?)) appreciated) readers,

I can see you all right now glaring at me, sharpening knives or something with which to brutally kill me for not getting a new chapter up. So, here I am, explaining myself. OK, first, I would like to put the blame upon my teachers, who seem to like to give me a whole bunch of projects, all of which are very lengthy and time consuming, all around the same time (a special shout out goes to the nazi band directors at my school and their lousy playing/chair test cringes visibly). I would also like to blame the Speech Team, because I have practices every Monday and Thursday, and it seems to take a lot of time, plus there are always competitions on Saturday, but those are fun, so I won't mention that...wait, I just did...now I'm all confused. Oh, and I've had really bad health recently, and felt completely miserable...not exactly the prime mood to write in, unless you want to get frustrated, because it sounds so horrible.

Ok, enough of blaming other people and situations. I must say, a lot of it is my fault as well, and I openly admit it. But I have been trying to get more of this story written, mind you. I've even been bringing my floppy disk to study hall in hopes that I might get inspiration at school and be able to get something written (finally, might I add ((whoops, nearly spelled ass right there...mumbles stupid d and s have to be right next to each other))). Alas, it isn't meant to be, though. It seems that I have the worst case of writer's block known to man kind. I just can't...think...My steady flow of ideas has suddenly stopped, and its driving me mad.

Now, as a way to make it up to you guys (though this may not do the trick, I know) I had a small idea. I would absolutely love it if you could send me your suggestions of what you'd like to see happen next in the story. I ask you to do this for several reasons. One: I need a ideas and inspiration...a lot. Two: You all seem like a creative bunch, and I honestly want to hear what you think should happen. Three: When I really like a book/ff, I always want to see it go the way I want it too, but it hardly ever does. Maybe you're the same way, I don't know. Four: I really really really need ideas. Five: I need to get more of this story written before I get brutally murdered in my sleep by crazed flesh-eating ducks (sorry, got a bit carried away there). Six: Well, actually, there is no six, I lied.

So please, I beg of you, help me out of my own pit of despair. It's killing me not to get this done...arggg(thats a growl of frustration, in case you couldn't tell...it's not to be confused with the sound of a dying giraffe). Send in your ideas and suggestions for me please. It's be really nice if you could get as many possible to me before Thanksgiving, because I'll be traveling, and I'll need something to do. All in all, and I know this is a very round-about way of saying this, but I'm really truly sorry, and I need help.

Thank for understanding (or not understanding, as the case may be),

Delano
