Just a Little Update to My BCAS Readers

Alright, I've never done this before, but I do need to say a few things.

First off, don't freak out, because I am NOT Discontinuing the story. I do want to write it, and I am working on chapters for it, however…

1. I am slammed with schoolwork right now. I procrastinated and now I am going to feel the after-effects for a few weeks. I do not have time to write much, and on the off-chance that I do, I am completely drained from schoolwork.

2. There is a HUGE drop-off of views from the first chapter to the second. If you want the stats, about 3,800 people have read this fic. Over 2,000 people have read the first chapter, barely 1,000 people have read the second chapter, and the drop-off continues from there. Because of this drop-off, I will be inserting a proper intro chapter, and I will be editing the first two chapters (I am a little dissatisfied by how they turned out) in an attempt to fix these numbers. They will keep the same idea, but I will fix up the grammar and dialogue.

3. I have been working on an Interlude chapter. Yes, I have started Chapter 5, but I haven't worked on it as much as I planned. I have more written in the Interlude than I do on Chapter 5, so the Interlude is going to be published as soon as I finish writing and editing it.

4. As an avid fanfic reader and writer, I have begun to notice that many promising fictions have barely gotten any reviews, causing them to be discontinued. I have been reviewing as many stories as I can in my free time, trying to give them the reviews they need to survive. This means that I am constantly reading and reviewing stories, and barely have time to do much else.

Second off, I have stopped watching GOTHAM. It got to the point where I was constantly yelling at every character every other minute, and getting furious over the writing of the show. I know that seems a bit harsh, but I just don't like where the show has gone. I think I will mostly stick to Season 1 and 2 if I continue to write stories for Gotham, or in a time that is far in Gotham's future (like A Question Yet to Be Asked). I stopped at the point where Selina forgave her mother, and I haven't continued on from there. I know what has happened in the more recent episodes (I don't mind having episodes spoiled for me, you can tell me all you want), so I'm not completely in the dark.

Third off, I am going to be on temporary hiatus (except on reviewing things) until summer. I am loaded with classes this semester, and I barely have time to write. The rest of this semester is going to be me building up a supply of oneshots and chapters so I can publish if I do not have the time or energy to write, that way I don't have to struggle with updating once a month.

So, with all that being said, here's my plan:

The rest of March will be me writing oneshots and chapters when I can. That seems like a short period of time, however…

The entire month of April is going to be me working on an enormous fanfic that is a birthday gift to another user. She's done a lot for me in the past, and I want to gift her with a Crossover fic of her two favorite fandoms on her birthday, which is in early May. I will be devoting all of my writing motivation to that fic, and hopefully I can get it out on time for once.

May will be when I am slammed with end-of-semester exams. No writing will take place during these days, because school will always come first. After those test-taking days (I should be done by the halfway point), I'm going to do what I should have done a year ago. Soothing an Angry Enigma will get its second and third chapter, and I will post one sometime in June, and the final chapter on July 24, the one year-anniversary for the fic. Bats, Cats, and Street Rats, along with a few other Gotham oneshots and stories, will begin again as soon as I build up the chapters for them, so maybe early July.

I know. It really sucks. But it's been almost three months since I updated this story (and anything in general) and I still don't have anything ready. I need to take time to finish up this semester and build up a supply of chapters so that there will be something that I can publish for when I don't have time to write anything.

I hope you guys can understand. Again, I'm not Discontinuing, but I do need to fix this thing up and take time to plan ahead. I can't thank all of you enough, for supporting, following, and favoriting this fic. It really means a lot to me, and that's why I am sorry that I have to go on hiatus, but this has to be done.

Alright, I've yammered on enough. I'm going to head to my next class and I'll see you guys in a few months, when I fix this fic up.
