Hey! Sorry it's been so long. I've been really, really busy during the past school semester, and the new one's just kicking in, so there's a lot to get used to. I'm not kidding about how busy I've been -- I haven't written a chapter for Roots since the last one I posted xP I've actually decided to revise Roots from the beginning and repost it, but it won't be as big of an overhaul as it sounds; I just want to fine-tune my portrayal of the world and add in some things I didn't get to write about the first time. The storyline and characters will stay the same. I'm motivated to do this revision because during the last ten/fifteen chapters, the work felt really mechanical, and when I look back at them, the writing seems more like a rush to get towards the end than to develop the setting and characters.
The good news is, I've been using this long intermission to tweak the earlier chapters and jot down new ideas, so now I'm enthusiastic about the story again. Another piece of good news is that I have a lot of completed work to base my revisions on, so "Roots 2" will probably take less time to complete than Roots 1. The bad news is... it will still probably be a while. :P I've also been working on another fic, but it's for a different fandom, so it probably won't be posted on here or SPPF. But it'll still take up some time, so Roots won't be the only thing at the forefront of my attention.
That's pretty much all that's been going on. I also wrote a one-shot for a Hoenn-themed contest on SPPF (that won third place :3) so when I revise that, I'll post it. So you'll have something to read from me eventually. :P
