A.N. Hello everyone. I am, in fact, not dead. I've been extremely busy over the last year or so, but I wanted you to know that I haven't abandoned this story. But I am facing a dilemma. The hiatus was only supposed to last for a couple of months, but here we are over a year later and I haven't even finished the next chapter. I hate to have left you hanging for so long, and I don't want to make you guys wait any longer. So I'm going to lay my cards on the table.

With college (and a looming career) I honestly don't know how much time I can devote to writing. Updates could potentially start again in May or June, but I can't guarantee a schedule. I could very well end up on another long hiatus again. I hate that things are like that, but there's nothing I can do.

That being said, I've decided to make a poll.

Go to my profile and cast your vote to let me know if I should update sporadically, or if I should just go ahead and post a summary so you all know what happens.

I'm sorry for being absent.
