Hello, readers!

So, uh… this is just a little announcement that I have about this story and what's going on with it right now. You see… if you read any of my other fics in progress, you already know that school and figuring out stuff for college are really eating up my time and slowing my updates on all of them. But it's also starting to get to the point where I obviously won't have enough time to update three stories at a time, like I have been since summer started (or maybe trying to is more like it…) and I'm going to lower my fics being updated to two for awhile. So, after some debating during the little free time that I have, I've decided that, sadly, this story is going to be the one that I will at least greatly slow updates of. But before you get mad at me, I have reasons for this.

1.) I still have quite a bit of organizing to do on this fic and figuring out how I'm going to place things and space them out over the chapters (or chapter plans that I'll alter as I write it; I just need more of an idea of exactly what I'm doing here).

2.) Out of my three fics currently in progress, this is the one that I have the least motivation to write right now. It's still at this kind of awkward point where I'm building things up to the things that I actually want to write and am looking forward to writing and, for some reason, my motivation isn't in the parts of the story where I'm just building relationships and suspense.

3.) I would work on this fic, I really would, if I had more time on my hands. But I absolutely have to keep as much time for me to just unwind after school and relax as possible. I'm trying to get control of my anxiety issues at the moment and figuring out what colleges I should apply for and maintaining my grades where I'd like them to be are stressing me out enough as is. I write my fics for my own amusement and because I love hearing positive feedback on my ideas and it really shouldn't be another cause of my stress. Two is a number that I can easily manage and use to keep myself entertained in study hall and when I'm bored on the weekends, while still having some kind of schedule or mental deadline to my updates (because I only get things done if I have a deadline set in mind for it…)

So, I'm sorry to everyone who really likes this fic and has been waiting for an update but they will be far-in-between at best for the moment. If I get a break from school or a sudden spark of inspiration for this story, I will take down this reminder and update it. But, as it sits right now, I'll come back to this fic on a basis once I hit a roadblock in another fic or when I finish one of the ones that I will be continuing. I feel bad about this, I really do. I know that there's quite a few of you that really like this story and I hate disappointing people but this just has to be done. I can't juggle three fics and everything that's currently going on in school and in my personal life.

And, uh… sorry if any of you thought this was finally an update of some kind and got excited… *hangs head in shame* sorry….
