Hi, it's been a while (almost a year, in fact) since my last update here, and I'm sorry to have left you all hanging.

I really wish I had some great excuse as to why I stopped writing Magriculture, but I really don't. There are a lot of inconsistencies and inadequacies that I can see in the story that have added up over time to bug me, and I really wanted to fix that. So for a while I worked on a re-write. It went okay, however I'll be honest, it didn't quite have the same spirit or flare as the current version, and the John of that version was perhaps a little too competent and put together.

Anyway, recently a lot of people have been reminding me how much they enjoyed this story, flaws and all, and that's moved me to return to it. At first I wanted to import parts of the latest re-write; do a sort of patch job. That didn't really pan out, it changed too much and would have severely altered the course of the early story. Instead I limited myself to making mostly minor changes, cleaning up the text boxes, and making the entire thing easier to read. (You'll see what I mean when I start posting).

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

So, starting probably next month, I'm going to be overwriting the old chapters with the new ones, and once that's finished I'll begin posting again. Sorry it's taken me so long to get my rear in gear, and thank you all for your patience and your acceptance of my story, flaws and all. I look forward to entertaining you.
