I know we're not supposed to do place holders, but I need to say this now, and there's no other way of doing it (if any FanFiction mod is reading this, how about putting in an option to alert followers of the story/author, but not making the story go higher on the listings? That's what you're worried about, right? Someone spamming? That'd be an easy way to solve the issue).

First off, I'm going to be taking a break. I really don't want to quit this. I say this about every story in a last-ditch effort to pull myself through, but I really, really don't want to quit this story.

That being said, it's getting kind of...old? I don't know. I just need a break.

Second, there were a few things I wanted to say when I updated the chapter, but the chapter...isn't going to be updated for a while. So let's do that now.

1. I made Her Theme.

I've made hOI hOI bOI! and Alphys's Determination too, but to be honest, I'm not really proud of them. I'm actually happy with how Her Theme turned out. I mean, it's still kind of rough...my friend said to add somethings. I don't know. Maybe. But for now, I'm happy with it.

I also put together an EquationTale soundtrack. Uh, y'know, just the titles. Feel free to look at your own risk. It has spoilers for sure though.

Sorry about the weird set up. Links are filtered so there's not much I can do.

2. Someone made fanart!

The first official fanart! See, this is the kind of stuff that makes me want to do this story! Reading reviews, seeing works inspired by my own... I know it's not good for that to be your main source of motivation, but that's what it is that keeps me going. After all, I kind of already know what's going to happen. So there's no fun there. This is all that keeps me moving along. That and free time, which school is taking up eight hours and then some of.

Since I still can't post links, Google Naminem DeviantArt and look in they're gallery, or Naminem EquationTale, or Naminem whatever. They're on DA. It's somewhere in there, and it's REALLY FREAKIN' GOOD.

That Alphys and Temmi tho.

Quickly, I'll reply to reviews.

Ck: Mettaton's a bitch.

A sassy, badass bitch.

Deal with it.

NoItsBecky: Everyone can draw :3 It just takes time.

As for the instrument, you don't need to play one to make music. That's what programs are for.

Tatzebea: Oh? What's your AU?

Thank you guys for being patient. You guys are the best.

IF I end up loosing all interest in this fanfic (emphasis on the 'if'), I will see if Jacky will be willing to pick it up. Jacky is very close, and he knows just about everything there is about EquationTale; I bounce ideas and everything off that guy. He has no obligation what-so-ever to continue, but there's no harm in asking. Then again, that is IF I lose interest, which I hope I don't. A last-ditch effort of sorts.

See you next chapter.
