Right, I've been getting comments from people about continuing the story, so I thought I'd post something.
Since about October or so, I've been dealing with a combination of persistent depression and intermittent insomnia, that have been seriously interfering with my ability to write...pretty much anything at all. I've also been noticing a severe drop in quality, so I end up working on projects I care about less, little side things for shiggles, in an attempt to work out whatever the block is. (Though it's very possible this drop in quality is a figment of my imagination, because depression.) I might actually post the main side project at some point, since it's somehow ballooned to over 50k words over the last month or two, we'll see. But, trying to hold up my end of the collaborative fic with LeighaGreene (posted here under LysandraLeigh) has been pretty much all I've had in me for a while now.
Now, I have been writing...somewhat more consistently these last few weeks, and I'm going to try to direct my writing energy that doesn't go into the collaboration into this fic again. The next chapter is actually already mostly finished — it was about half done when the depression hole hit, and I've been adding little bits and pieces here and there — but I can make no promises about how long it'll take for me to have it out. I've recently reconsidered how a significant part of the last scene should go, which means I'll have to delete a couple thousand words, but the new trajectory is more streamlined toward the finish, so, we'll see. Also, I recently got a new idea what the next chapter should be, and it amuses me, so cooperate, brain, please.
Just, you know, thought I'd assure people who've been asking that this fic isn't abandoned. Hopefully I'll have something soon.
