Well um...

It's been a long time since I touched this fic...

Like... I think I've written only a little more than a thousand words on Dragoons since I posted my last chapter in August of last year.

And as you can tell... I haven't posted anything in a while. So I figured it's time I finally just give an update.

I decided to take a bit of a break from this fic after I returned home from vacation. It was only supposed to be for about a week, but then a week became 2, and then 3, and it just spiraled.

I had a lot of burnout from trying to crank out over a thousand words on this fic per day, which wasn't helped by the fact that I just didn't feel as though I was getting anything out of this... Not that I wasn't getting a lot of comments or reviews or engagements, but because I just simply didn't feel I was getting anything out of my writing experience.

Because... I didn't take a full break from writing or anything... I just started working on different projects, that I found more enjoyment in, and ones that I found more enlightening.

Plus... I think my vision just changed way too many times to really continue... That was one of my biggest things that I worried about while I was posting the fic, and honestly, I think I started posting this much earlier than I should have.

There's also the slight matter of one of my two main betas having basically fallen off the face of the Earth. I haven't been able to reach him, and as a result of that, it's been a little harder to really get back into this, because whenever I was in need of any reassurance or just someone to bounce ideas off of (and get told that it's a good idea) he was the one I turned too, and without him, it's been a struggle to get back into this.

I won't say that this fic is dead forever, but it will probably be a long time before I get back into this, if I ever do.

Anyways, thanks to everyone who read this far, and for all your support. It means the world to me.

Signing off,
