Hey! Yeah, it's been a while :P Unfortunately, it's not because I'm in a particular mood or because I'm suffering a dry spell in writing... it's because, once again, school's started, but this time I literally can't distinguish between weekends and weekdays. :x The load should lighten after December, but until then, my writing will have to be, pretty much, on a standstill. I only have a couple of pages written of the next Roots chapter (though I know what's going to happen already), and I need to work through some plot issues for the Pastoria series. So don't expect the chapter any time soon... When I am ready to send the first draft, I'll VM you.
On the plus side, I'll always be available to chat through VM, so you can message me anytime.
