okay pardon me for the corny title

Where should I even start >< The last time I even updated anything here was on 6 November 2012.. until I kinda went 'missing' without a trace, although my co-author still tweets from time to time.

I have thousands of reasons to apologize for like being regularly logging in here however I update nothing. Not posting any notice earlier that I was gonna be on hiatus or anything. I just POOF. lol okay not funny.

Myself and my co-author have been caught up with our job, studies, family commitments towards the end of the year especially when the festive seasons (Christmas, Lunar New Year) were in close proximity with each other. Also for what I feel most guilty of, we keep drafting here and there without publishing anything because of major writer's block U____U We stayed away from here for a period of time and when returned, reading comments and wall posts from you guys calling out for us made us feel even more guilty that we just shut down TSK

We've finally decided to 'man up' and just resume to finish what we've started. Afterall we shouldn't have left our readers hanging and we're truly, deeply sorry for that. It was a bigtime unprofessionalism on our part especially when we've acquired many supportive readers who are always anticipating our updates. Thousands of apologies.

With that said, we will indeed be returning soon. To further convince that we're not joking, myself as the main author has just started a collaboration with another author on a 'big' project. Until we officially start the first chapter of our project, I will start posting updates of fics from 'standbyouknow' along this period. This I can assure you will be within a maximum range of the next two weeks.

Moving on, the 'big' project I was referring to is a fic collaboration between myself and Min from limminhyo. It's titled STAGE (click hyperlink to view) and will be something neither me nor Min have worked on before. We have planned the whole structure of the storyline and even got the ending in hand so we will definitely produce a completed fic eventually.

I really have to thank AFF for letting me and Min to meet right here in this platform where we eventually got to know each other more, met in real life, became close friends at current where we share so many things together. Idea of a collaboration wouldn't have happened if we didn't see so much difference yet so many similarities with each other. It's not just a random collaboration between two authors but the idea of fusing the mind of mine and Min who is 4 years younger than me to bring out a story which blends our different thoughts as one.

Before I get even more long-winded, I just hope that you guys will show support to STAGE as much as how you've been showing support to our fics all this while. In return, I shall post more regular updates on my part.... and will not go missing without any trace again for like a period of 3 months! Ohmy ><

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE <3333

p.s Anybody misses Eun Ae? Hehehe
