You can skip this and go to chapter 5

Hey guys,

Sorry, it isn't an update. As much as I've grown to hate AN chapters I feel like one is necessary. Unfortunately, Fanfiction still doesn't seem to have a good way of mass communication without putting a chapter up (Wattpad has them beat there). I'll likely delete this when I update.

Anyway,

All applications are due by September 20th at midnight PDT. For reference (if you live in the US) that's West Coast time (with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii). For further reference, that's 3 a.m. New York time (on the 21st), 8 a.m. London time (also on the 21st) and 3 p.m. Beijing time (again on the 21st). If you've reserved a spot and I don't receive your application by the 20th then I will be accepting them on a first come first serve basis, regardless of reservations (sorry, but I really need these spots filled).

The reason is that I think it'll take me about two weeks to get everything organized and written. I'm going for an October 5th update (my birthday), which is a tradition of mine. I have three stories I'll be updating for on that day so it's going to be a bit of a hectic writing month (but A Moment in Life, Not to Disappear and City of Time readers rejoice). I've set my personal writing deadline for October 3rd so that I have a day or so to add the final touches and finish editing.

Side note: If you can guess how old I'll be turning I'll give you a sneak peek of your character's section for the coming update. And if you haven't submitted a character you can either pick a random one to get a sneak peek for or I'll figure something else out.

Thank you for bearing with me! And if you're new, welcome!
