I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY t-this isn't an update I'M SORRY DDD,x I APOLOGIZE A THOUSAND TIMES OVER AND I SHALL EXPLAIN THE REASONS AS TO MY TWO AND A HALF MONTH DELAY AS BEST AS I CAN.
F-first off, FFnet refused to work for most of May, including my ability to send PM's ( which I still can't ). So, if you sent me a PM, I can't reply, I'm so sorry ;A; I-I think I can reply to reviews, though--!!
Around the third of June I was finally able to log in again, but I couldn't update, edit my profile or reply to PM's ( I could add favorites and send reviews, though, oddly enough). But then, of course, I had to get some kind of killer virus that forced me to wipe my hardrive, which thus deleted the in-progress chapter I had been working on.
Of course, these reasons don't pardon me from the fact that I still haven't updated ( I'M SORRY ;A; ), but there's a reason separate from those I've mentioned above that justifies this:
Instead of writing the next chapter of the current Stray, after re-reading the beginning, I have decided to re-write Stray from the very beginning. The way it is now, I can't send the plot in the direction I want to, and my writing abilities have improved so much that I feel it would be better for both my wonderful readers and for myself to just go back to the beginning and rework some things!
I hope you all can forgive me for my EXTREME LATENESS AND CAPS LOCK ABUSE and look forward to the new and improved Stray, which should make it's debut in August ( unless unforseen circumstances complicate things ). Again, I apologize for my laziness and technical difficulties, I hope you guys aren't too disappointed in me.
Lastly, congradulations to everyone who guessed correctly last chapter! The correct answer was Liverpool, as many of you guys guessed! To everyone who answered correctly, I will still be writing you a gift fic, not to worry! I'll probably have them up after I rework the first chapter of Stray.
To everyone who answered via review, I'm sorry, but I specified Pming me the answer for a reason, and I can't accept your guesses if you answered in a review D,: I'll try to have a similar game in the future for everyone who missed out and/or guesed incorrectly on the one last chapter.
And now I shall depart to start on the new and improved Stray – thank you all for your patience and belief in the fact that I'm not as lazy as I believe I am, you're all very, very kind and I'm very glad to have fans like you ;A;
Till then,
