A happy Easter to you all!...Even if it is quite late.

But better late than never, right?

First of all, to all of you who have read my story, and especially those who commented with all your encouragement, I can't thank you enough. It's been a long time since my last update, but I think of you all often. I wish I could have put more content out there, but, well, life happens.

Now, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I am back at it again. The bad news is that I am not doing it here. Right now, anyway.

I've got multiple projects that I am a part of, and I'm really happy with how they are coming along. I'm posting them with a regular update schedule, and I'm going to try super hard to keep to that schedule. So far so good! If you have the chance to check it out, it's user/Toriitilla

That's toriitilla with 2 i's. Funny, right?

I'm sad that it came at the cost of this series. I really had big plans and high hopes. But all may not be lost.

My other projects take priority. They always will. That's sort of what being here has all been about-to see if I can actually get someone's attention. To see if anyone would actually read what I write. Many of you have. And that's very exciting for me! But if I want to make this into something more than a hobby, I can't rely on the intellectual property of someone else. You all have given me the confidence to move forward with my big ideas. So I'm putting myself out there for better or for worse.

That said, I don't like to leave things unfinished. So anytime I get ahead in everything else, I'm making a pledge to myself to write this story even if it's just a little bit at a time.

Exactly how much will that be? Wellllll nobody really knows. I could fall off a cliff for 10 months again. But I've always loved Brendan and May and all the potential of the Hoenn region. So let's just hope everything goes smoothly this year and leave it at that, ok?

I hope you'll continue to watch me grow. And if all goes well, new chapter soon?

luv you all,

Tori
