I'm sorry to say that this version of "Hetalia's Nightmare Before Christmas" is going to be discontinued.
Trust me when I say I am very disappointed in myself for having to post this. It's very unfair to you all, especially since I promised some of you updates when I replied to your reviews. I broke those promises, and I hate having to break promises like that. You were expecting me to pull through, not give in to the writer's block.
I am so, so sorry! It's been over a year since my last update. I know, all of you were expecting an actual chapter after so long of a wait, and I disappointed you. I'm sorry.
However… looking back at the story, I realized how much my writing style has changed. Sure, some of you like that style of writing. I get that. I'm not happy with it, though. I just can't stand to keep looking back on chapters that are written so... I can't even explain it.
In short, I'm going to rework the story—but don't worry, I'm just going to alter the style of writing and a couple minor details, not the major plot points, I promise. The reworked version will be posted as a separate story; this version is still going to stay on FFN.
On a much brighter note, the new version will be posted October 31st, 2012. The reason why I'm going to wait so long is to post it on a significant date, much like how the original (and this notice, however unfortunate) was posted. The good news is that I'll have all the current chapters reworked by then and may have even finished a few more chapters. The gaps between updates will, hopefully, be less sporadic... well, until what I've posted catches up with what I have written at that point, at least.
Be on the lookout for the first chapter of the new version Halloween 2012!
