Hello, sithlorde1988 here! I know this isn't a chapter! I figured I'd drop an update to let people know the status of a lot of my ongoing stories, since I'm aware I've left many of these on the 'back burner', so to speak. So let me quickly do an update on said stories. Note that not all the stories listed will have this 'update' in them. So let's get to it. Here are the statuses of all my ongoing stories:

1) A Mine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste Redux (Rewrite)- Currently 5 chapters in, with chapter 6 being typed out. ON TEMPORARY HIATUS

2) Bakugan- The Pyrex Chronicles - Currently 5 chapters in, with chapter 6 in the planning stages. ON HIATUS FOR NOW WHILE I FINISH UPLOADING THE LAST FEW CHAPTERS OF PHANTOM FILES AND MAKE EDITS ON IT.

3) Digimon Data Squad Redux (rewrite) - Currently 4 chapters in, with plans to eventually resume this with chapter 5. ON HIATUS FOR NOW

4) Pokemon: Shuffled Journeys- Currently 10 chapters in, with Chapter 11 in development and partially typed out. ON HIATUS UNTIL I FINISH PHANTOM FILES

5) Digimon Frontier: Return To The Digital World- Currently 3 chapters in, with Chapter 4 in the planning stages. ON HIATUS FOR NOW

6) Persona 5: The Phantom Files- Currently 93 chapters in, with Chapter 94 scheduled to go up most likely tomorrow (it's October 4th as of the time I post this update out.) IN PROGRESS

And that's the status of all my currently in-progress stories as far as I know. I know a lot of people have followed my one-shots and such, but those are all done, hence being 'one-shots'. But I appreciate the support on them just the same.

Speaking of my stories, I have a poll up on my profile to help decide what new story I'll start working on eventually to replace Phantom Files once I finally finish it. For reference, I have all the chapters typed out for it, and only a few left to post. Also, I'm in the process of slowly editing the earlier chapters to refine the story and correct any errors I find.

So feel free to vote on that if you like, since that will likely be up until the start of November, so as to give plenty of time for people to vote on the poll. As of this point, I have yet to get a single vote on the poll. Granted, part of that was because I forgot to list it on my profile for the first couple of days after making it, but even so, that's been fixed for at least a couple of days now. So yeah, do feel free to vote on that, as I enjoy getting input from my readers. Since I have you here, let me go over all the stories on the poll briefly, or at the least, give a summary of each one. So here goes.

1) Persona 4- The Golden Apostle: As the title implies, an adaptation of Persona 4 Golden. Summary- What happens when instead of being an only child like in canon Persona 4/Persona 4 Golden, Nanako instead has an older half-brother that came about as a result of a one-off hookup her dad had with another woman before marrying Nanako's mom? And what if said other woman had ties to an infamous yakuza clan that her father is involved in? How will Persona 4 Golden change with the addition of an extra character that is Nanako's older half-brother who has the stigmas of being related to an infamous yakuza clan as well as a short-lived stint as an action movie star? Read to find out! Rating: M (because it's a Persona game, and for safety's sake) Pairings and other info TBA

2)Phantom Files Book 2- Rise of the Monarchs: As the title suggests, an adaptation of Persona 5 Strikers that takes place about two and a half to three years after the end of Persona 5: The Phantom Files. Summary: Some time after the end of Phantom Files, a new threat rises in the Metaverse that requires the Phantom Thieves to once more take up their Personas to infiltrate new facilites called Jails. Can they handle this new threat, or will it be too much for them to handle, even with new members in their ranks in the forms of an amnesiac AI and a jaded PubSec agent who seems to have his own agenda? Read to find out! Rating: M (again, because it's a Persona story, and for safety's sake) Pairings and other info TBA

3)Untitled Three Houses Story: This story has no title for now, but as the placeholder title suggests, it would be an adaptation of the video game Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Summary: While preparing for a mission, Jeralt Eisner and his twin children Byleth and Bylene (Byleth's twin sister, aka the female form of Byleth) have their nights interrupted by a knock on their door, which leads to an unexpected run-in with brigands. What happens when this run-in leads to encounters with faces from Jeralt's past, and eventually leads to Jeralt, Byleth, and Bylene being enlisted to return to the illustrious Garrech Mach Monastery? Can Byleth and Bylene handle the unexpected call to action as professors? And how will they handle being in charge of opposing houses? Also, what's this about a hooded figure amongst the Golden Deer? Read to find out! Rating, pairings, and other info TBA.

4)Neo Marauders, year 1: An AU re-telling of the Harry Potter series. Summary: We all know how the canon Harry Potter series goes. But what about a series where many things are turned on its head, including the allegiance of most wizarding familes? How different will the series be when instead of the Malfoys, it's the Prewett family that's the family kissing up to a certain undead dark wizard who has a grudge on Harry? Also, Harry is saved from the Dursleys at a young age when one of Vernon's planned dinner parties to schmooze and impress a potential client goes horribly wrong after said client's children not only befriend Harry, but inadvertently discover the cupboard he calls his bedroom. How will these changes affect the Harry Potter series? Read to find out! Ratings, pairings and other info TBA.

5)Digimon- Battle for Floatia: As the title implies, an adaptation of the video game Digimon World: Next Order. Summary: After both coming in the top five of a Digital Monsters tournament when they were younger, Takuto and Shiki find themselves sucked into the Digital World unexpectedly, where they get to meet up with their partner Digimon, only to find themselves drawn into a struggle greater than either of them can comprehend. Can Takuto and Shiki help to bring back the lost residents of the town of Floatia, or will it be too much for them to handle? And what's this about other humans in the Digital World? Read to find out! Rating, pairings, and other info TBA.

And there's a slight summary of each of the stories on this poll. So be sure to vote on the poll for your favorite options (YES, I said options. You can vote for up to 3 options on the poll. I'll likely give the top 3 vote getters higher priority over the others, but will do all 5 eventually.) Also, note that this 'chapter' will likely be replaced with new chapters as they get finished, so don't be surprised if this chapter vanishes a while after posting it. But otherwise, I think that's everything I wanted to bring up, so thanks for reading and hopefully I'll have new chapters up for my stories sooner rather than later. Otherwise, thanks for your patience, and until next time, sithlorde1988 out!
