Decided to not use the author note for this, well, author's note, as mostly this chapter will be an author's note. I just want to give some explanation for the many delays that have happened, for whatever reasons they have, and things along those lines.

  Well, I have already mentioned why chapters did not really come out around the start of my summer, and that was for a number of reasons, and the last chapter was the first one in the summer, I believe. I did say I would have one out during that week... which didn't happen... nor did it that Saturday... or during the next week... until we get to today. I'm dropping you guys this note just to give you a more solid head's up about when updates are coming out and what I've been working on.

   Not long after I posted the last chapter, I finally gave in to some of the other fiction ideas I have had in my head, for, well, as long as I've been writing this, and since my writing window makes up only a few hours a week, usually (there are exceptions) due to a variety of circumstances, it mostly got consumed by that. I at one part wrote some of the chapter, then went to save the draft, only to realise that my computer had been restarted and chrome reopened to the page it was at before, which signs me out. And, RRL, for some reason, instead of giving you a warning to copy changes or anything, makes you log in, then redirects you to the login page and does not save the work done in the draft. And, after that, I gave up for that night out of sheer frustration, and the next. That has happened to me more than once now as well.

   And, just to tack on the end here, I want to mention that the fiction I said I was spending time planning and drafting out a bit, might actually go on here at some point. i know I have struggles with 1 chap a week, with one fiction, but in soem ways two might even help that as it provides variety in writing. However, that won't be for a while, as I will stock pile a helluva lot more chapters than I did for this when I came back to it. Once I get a few chapters finalised though, I might put one in spoiler tabs at the end of a chapter sometime soon.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  Oh, and I didn't mention that there should be a chapter either tomorrow or the day after. I still have like 7 chapters to make up, and I plan to at some time, and if I can I'll start this week. This week will be pretty much the last week where I have a substantial amount of time for writing, as I will have to work on a bunch of schoolwork until the end of summer after that, but I should be able to put out a couple and hold onto a couple more, as a reserve incase I can't write something one week, like has happened a few times.

 Thanks to all you guys for reading this, and I appreciate you guys even just bothering to read the stuff I put on here xD. When I first started this a year ago, I expected to get like 10 readers or something, and then at the time it just sorta grew quickly when I first posted it, then shit happened, then I came back and it spiked, then slowed down, and while it is down due to the lack of content, I plan to climb to the top someday, if I have the potential.

  Ramble-filled shitty update complete!

-Oh, this will also be deleted like then the chapter after next comes out, so if you read this then come back a while later and wonder why it won't let you access the page, that'll be why.

EDIT - Well... this has been longer than anticipated. A couple days into last week, we had some rather sad news in the family, so I didn't feel like writing for a while, and I also forgot I was away all weekend, so I couldn't write then. You guys will still be getting a chapter soon, but it might be a little longer yet - it's definately too late tonight, with it being 1AM!
