(Clears throat)

Rightyho. I don't know quite how to put this, so I will be disgustingly blunt.

IM GOING ON HIATUS. BUHBYE.

I'm only kidding. You know I'm not that mean.

Now, there are people aplenty on the alert list for this story (even if half of them have never actually reviewed). It is quite possible, what with my increasingly sporadic updates, that many of you have forgotten who I am.

I am Bartimaeus, Sakhr al-Jinni!! I am N'gorso the Mighty, and the Serpent of Silver Plumes!! I have spoken with Solomon and Ptolemy, and rebuilt the walls of Uruk, Karnak and Prague!!

Oh, no, hang on a second. Wrong fandom.

Speaking of which, I'm shifting my lot over to a smaller section of the site. Ramblings isn't really doing it for me at the moment.
Some of you who actually read the A/Ns might be aware that I had some computer trouble a while back. Well, I lost pretty much everything of Ramblings, including five almost entirely written chapters (all the exciting ones that I'd written as landmarks up ahead of the filler chapters) and a few more partially written ones. Not to mention several half-baked one-shots and Ramblettes. Understandably, this left me pretty fed up with computers in general, ditto Ramblings. And I really can't bring myself to re-writing all that just yet.

So I'm moving fandoms. Oh, I'll be back eventually – after the plot bunnies have had some time to re-coop. Give me four months.

Four months?
Six months.

Give me six months and I will be back. Possibly less. Hopefully not more. In the meantime, I'm going to go and add to the 116 stories in the Bartimaeus section. And on that note, if you have me on author alert, you might want to consider taking me off the list, and maybe just putting Ramblings on story alert. That is, unless you want to get hit with my AU Bartimaeus/Faquarl slash.

Ok, not really. I'm not that warped.

Although...

Ignore the noise in the background. It just the plot bunnies breeding.

Anyway, if you haven't read the Bartimaeus books (which you should), removal is advisable. I'll be spamming up your inboxes otherwise, so get with it sharpish.

To conclude, I am going on the equivalent of a long holiday. I shall miss you all while I am gone. Bartimaeus will always be teh smex, pyramid of slime or no.

Out of interest, I want to see how many of you got that last reference. As a parting gift. Review to answer.

With luff and kisses and marshmallows to all
