Was planning on posting chapter 15 this week but AO3's been having technical issues, so I'd rather wait until those are cleared up before doing anything there. Hopefully, it won't take too long!

Hey, long time no update. :x But I'm aiming to publish chapter 12 this Sunday! I'd ask to get yourselves refreshed on the story thus far with chapter 11, but as the kids say, you do you. Also, 12 is going to be another long one with more exposition to it, but there's action and more stuff happening this time, so not a total slog! Looking forward to uploading that and hearing from you (if you've got any comments)!

I'm feeling generous so here's a preview of chapter 10 as a treat. :>

[inkburnt]

Hey! Long time no see. My usual apologies for neglecting the blog and the updating of my projects in general. :x

For those of you waiting on TWH, I've got chapter 10 coming tomorrow/Monday! I'm still hard at work on future chapters, and with time getting away from me, I sincerely forgot to post the next chapter last month. But, there's finally the next chapter to that pseudo-cliffhanger I left everyone on with chapter 9 right around the corner, so look forward to it!

I'm touching up chapter 9 as we speak for posting tomorrow. Sorry about the suddenness! I find it very hard to remember using social media anymore omfg.

And, really, I'm easing off the pressure I put on myself when it comes to meeting x deadline or quota. I know I wanted to post a chapter monthly, but it's going to have to be more flexible to allow me more time to keep my buffer going (and to actually be able to write) without feeling like I'm working a job lmao. I'm so horrifically slow and I hate that, but it's what we've got to work with, so... I gotta work with it instead of trying to fight it so hard, you know? Plus, I'm writing fanfic. I don't have to do it omg.

ANYWAY, yeah, just thought I'd say this now. Sorry for being even slower than I normally am or used to be. But, a rushed product is not a good one, so at least I'm still striving to give readers quality. >:U

[inkburnt]

Hmm yeah sorry yet again but it looks like I'll just be posting next month fjhdgqjg

I've been stuck on chapter 12 for months. Months. But I'm finally making enough headway to see the light at the end of this particular tunnel omfg. That said, sorry no upload so far this month! I just don't want my buffer to run out ksdgjshdg but if I get chapter 12 done this week or the next, I miiiight post chapter 9 on the 26th. >:U
