UPDATE:

Hello everyone.

First of all, MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES for not updating for… I don't know, a year? I didn't intend to make 'chapter 20' look like this, but I considering the amount of PM's and reviews I've been getting lately, I guess it's only fair to tell you guys what's going on.

I've stopped updating this story because FF13-2's ending was shit. Yep, that's it—the end was shit, that's why I've stopped updating. Oh, and that shitty Lightning DLC and the random floating Farroncest didn't really help.

You're all probably like 'wtf' and everything, but yeah—it was so shit (and I beat the game sometime around the end of 2011—so for me to have updated TWICE after that, you should call it somewhat of an accomplishment). But listen, I know it's unprofessional to rant and blame the shit ending, but HONESTLY, HOW CAN I WRITE SOMETHING GOOD IF I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT SOMETHING?! I'm very sure you guys wouldn't want to read a half-assed/inadequate/SHITTY story, right?

PLUS, you guys have to remember: I'm not getting paid for this at all—I'm simply writing because it's fun. SO DON'T EXPECT SO MUCH FROM ME :(

Does this mean I'm not going to update starless anymore?

I'm pretty sure I will, just not now. I can't see myself posting up something that I don't feel is good, and since all of you are saying that this is such a good story and everything, I'm honestly quite intimidated—like I HAVE to do my 100%, otherwise I'd lose my head or something. But yeah, I will update, just not anytime soon. And if I do update, it'll probably be after LR:FF13 comes out. Like, y'know, when Toriyama redeems himself.

(I'm talking about after November 21, 2013—since I live in Japan).

Until then, my buddies, go indulge yourselves with some other cute, non-existent, fanon couple. And, once again, I apologize for my absence… or, more like, disappearance.

PS. Same reason goes for empathy btw.

PPS. Oh, and if I do update, I'll replace this 'chapter' with the new one. I don't know if you'll still get a notification if I just replace it, but… well, we'll see then.
