A/N: Hey guys! Obviously, I'm late posting, twice now. Sorry about that.

Here's the deal…

First off, don't panic. It's not like I'm leaving this story! Preposterous, I say! Truth is that RL is really, really busy lately and I'm having trouble finding time to write. Typically, because I'm a night owl, I write at night, but I've been so tired the past few weeks that I'm out at ten instead of my usual midnight or later.

Anywho, I have another problem too. I think I actually have writer's block. Well, not really, I'm just not too fond of what I'm writing lately. Is that writer's block? Probably. I have a three Buffy episodes to rewrite, one of which is mine completely. The thing is, I've been finding that writing the Scoobies is like pulling really stubborn teeth. Currently, I'm trying to rewrite Older and Far Away but with AI and the Scoobies all together. I've got so many characters, I don't know what to do with them all and how to make it all flow. I think we can agree that the Scoobies and AI are two completely different elements that don't readily bond. Point is, I'm just a little stuck at the moment, hence the lack of updates.

However! There is an upside to this debacle. I will update. I will finish this story and the next! After all, I am going to rewrite all 7 seasons. At the moment, I'm just going to take a little break so I can catch up. I won't post again until I've written a substantial amount of this story. I've got 24 chapters to go before I finish this story. So I probably won't post until I've got ten chapters in my arsenal. That might take anywhere from two to three weeks depending on how much of a roll I get on.

Wow, this is so much longer than I planned.

Wrapping things up, I ask that you pretty please be patient. I promise to get back to updating as fast as I can. If I could pinky swear online, I totally would. I just need a little time to cook up some chapters, kick my writer's block in the ass, and then get to posting again. All of which, I happily plan to do as soon as possible. :D

Lots of love,

AC

P.S. Thank you for all the lovely reviews and everyone who inquired about updates. I appreciate how much all of you care and love this story. It's definitely motive enough for me to write, so thank you again. :D
