Hello everyone! Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you all. I'm afraid I come with sort of bad news.
During the past couple of weeks I've been having trouble sleeping, mood swings, and during the last week or so have been feeling generally tired, nauseous, and dead inside. This all kind of culminated tonight (Christmas) after a long day of schmoozing with relatives and I realized the cause is probably because I haven't been taking my antidepressants. I found out earlier this year that some antidepressants can suppress/decrease libido and I had a bit of an existential crisis because I'd been on antidepressants since I was 13 and was terrified to think that maybe I wasn't actually asexual, that it was the meds' fault. Then I was finding a new job and quitting my old one and feeling relatively fine so getting back on my meds slipped my mind.
Honestly I'm surprised I lasted this long without them.
Long story short, updating my fics will be put on hold for a few weeks while I get back on my meds and get my life back into shape. During the past couple weeks I've struggled to get even a couple hundred words down and frankly it would be an insult to all of you if I tried to force myself, because it would not be my best writing, or where the story should be going, and we all deserve better than that.
My apologies to those of you who thought this would be an update (especially to those of you who I told I was going to update today, something which i was determined to do until i realized that i needed to chill the fuck out and take care of my health). I plan to resume updating sometime mid/late January on the same three-week rotation schedule I have been using recently. All three stories will be updated the same day, then Schismatic the following week, A Wonderful World (of Magic) a week later, and then Shadow Bride the next week, continuing where the cycle was broken when I wasn't able to update Schismatic last week.
Sorry for the delay, and I hope your holidays and 2016 are good for/to you :)
