So I know I haven't exactly been the best about updating some of my fics lately and a large part of that has to do with the fact that I've been getting ready to start college again.  Well, that and because of random ideas that pop up out of nowhere and demand to be written (as they sometimes do *coughFromtheShadowscough*) aside from the ones already in progress, but that's beside the point.  I'm just putting it out there now that with my new schedule coming up, it looks like the semester may be pretty intensive and obviously, school work and my potential career is going to come first.  I'm not sure what it's going to comprise or how much time I'll need to actually complete the various readings, projects, homework assignments, driving time, mandatory tutoring and observation sessions in the campus writing center, etc, etc, so I'm just letting you know now.

Just so you know, I'm not abandoning any of my pieces and while they may be on hiatus or left without an update for a while, I will not forget about them.  Looking squarely at 'Come Back to Me' here.  >.>  I'll still have the option (and will likely make a habit of hopping on fairly frequently anyway) of checking AFF on a fairly regular basis, if only to answer any posts, messages, comments or what have you, but actual updates will be more regulated.

What I intend to try now is to put up the updates that I've accomplished during the week, if any mind you, on Saturdays or Sundays so at least you've got a general idea of when I'll update, if at all.  Regardless of if I finish anything during the week, you can likely look forward to something being posted over the weekend, be it random oneshot or established fic post.  I can't guarantee my muse's proficiency when faced with school work and homework and whatever else comes along and for that, I will not apologize but simply ask for your understanding.  As mentioned, I will continue to try and update as possible but at present, I can make no guarantees.  Thank you to those who have supported me thus far and I really do appreciate your understanding in this matter.

You guys are awesome!  Keep reading, keep writing and keep moving forward!  ^_^

P.S. You are always welcome to leave wall posts and/or messages via pm, for whatever reason.  Those I will likely respond to in a matter of days, if not less.  ;)
