Well... hello there!
It's been quite some time, hasn't it?
Exactly 1 year, to this day.
I promised myself I'd get the new chapter done before the 1 year anniversary of the hiatus starting.
Unfortunately, as evidenced by this glorified note, I failed.
This has been egregious enough that I am breaking my promise of never posting a hiatus-note filler.
I apologize to all of you for taking literally a whole fucking year to make something, and I apologize further because I still don't have it done.
As a result, I will now make a new, fresh promise. I'm nearly done with finals in college, so after Thursday, 5/10/2018, I'll be able to work on the REAL chapter 20 full-time. I've had it at nearly 22k words for the past 8+ months, so I'll likely have to take some time to reread the chapter itself, and maybe my whole story, to get a feel for what I've done, what I'm doing, and where I want to go.
I've been working and improving and planning on certain things, and I'm nearly ready to present some of that to you all.
So I want to just say, thank you all for the patience, and hopefully not completely abandoning this story. I know I never did, at least not in my heart.
I will be doing my best to complete the new chapter before 5/18/2018, but I can't give a guarantee.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and a fantastic week, I hope the past year hasn't been too rough without a new chapter from this crazy awesome story, and I hope you all will be able to look forward to the new chapter with genuine hope and excitement.
That's all I have to say. I'll let you all go now, and get back to your lives/other stories you're reading.
Thank you all for coming by to read this note, and thank you for forgiving me, if you have.

Peace out, guys.
