You speak of destiny as if it was fixed

ACITW, Fanworks, and Blanket Permission

Hello everyone :)  I know I have been gone for forever, and truth be told I am probably not going to be on Tumblr much for awhile still - I've posted about the whys before so I won't bore you with that here again.  What I mostly wanted to do was finally take a minute to check in and say hi, that I'm not dead or missing or gone for good, and that I am finally FINALLY having a chance to write again. That being said, the truth of the matter is that things are not going to be getting any slower in RL so my beta and I have done some redrafting and planning in order to come up with a way to actually get this story finished at some point. Basic plan is this - instead of 20 odd chapters for the next half, I am going to do it in 5 final LONG updates, with a shorter epilogue/coda to the whole thing at the end.  My hope is to post one part every six weeks until it is complete, with the next update coming out before Christmas.  If any of you are still reading/waiting I want to thank you so much for all your patience and support.  I have so many wonderful messages in my inbox, and while I won't have time to respond to them all I hope you know that they and you mean so much to me.  I miss you guys, and to those of you I haven't talked with in months now I have been thinking of you often! I'm so sorry I checked out, it was kinda necessary for survival for a while there. I will be around - maybe not often, at least for a bit - so thank you in advance for your patience with my sub-par communication skills <3
