Hi, folks! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you yet. XP Yes, I'm well aware that I've missed both Chouji's birthday and Deidara's...not on purpose, I promise you. I've been quite busy lately (seeing as school is finishing up for the year very soon) and so I haven't had a chance to write much. And my policy for this fanfic is "If it's not up on the person's birthday, it doesn't get posted." I know, I know, it's my own fault in that way, but...that's pretty much the entire point of this! And I had a great idea planned for Deidara, too...:'( Oh well. At least I'm posting now, right?
So anyway, today is Kankurou's birthday! Yay Kankurou! Unfortunately, my idea well is rather dry at the moment...I'm so very sorry. This is what I get for procrastinating, I suppose. Maybe if I'd given myself more time, instead of hurrying to cram all the creativity in on the night before the day...ugh. Well, I'll use this time to properly plan out the next chapter, which will be on May 26th. I promise I'll actually write something for it, too, not a stupid cop-out like this was. Again, I'm really sorry, everyone. If you have any ideas for characters whose birthdays have not already passed, please don't hesitate to let me know. I have plans for most of them already, but I'm always open to new suggestions, especially suggestions for the different Akatsuki members. I could use some help with Kushina's chapter as well...I want that to be as epic as possible with what little we know of her.
