I'll try to keep this AN as short as possible. NO I'M NOT ABANDONING THIS STORY!

Long story short, my uncle died on Christmas which sent me into a depression. I got the flu after Christmas. My final semester of undergrad absolutely kicked my ass (I also got sick twice, once during Spring Break and once after graduating). I got into FGO (Friend Code is 760,596,728; currently full, but PM me and I can work something out if necessary). I got into the law school I wanted, I presented research for the first time at a conference, and I still haven't been able to finish the Code Geass movies. I also learned something about them that has presented me with a minor problem that I'll address at the end of this AN.

All of these things combined with the fact that I had to one hundred percent scrap everything about this chapter so I could rewrite it at a sufficient quality has resulted in this taking way too fucking long to get out. I figure you've waited so long you deserve to know you'll probably be waiting a little longer as I'm only about 1/7th of the way through the new chapter I have right now if I decide to leave it at 7000+ words.

I'm sorry it's taking so long and that it will take more time, but I'm just really not capable of writing at a quality I consider worth uploading yet and it's taking time to fight the writer's block.

POLL NEWS (EDIT: It appears the poll may take a little while to appear, rest assured I have created it and made it public on my profile according to the settings. The site's just being a little finicky for the moment apparently.) (2ND EDIT: Poll's up now)

I've recently learned that the Code Geass movies are considered an alternative path that could have been taken in R1 and R2 and that the third season will be a sequel to the movies canon instead of the original series. As such, I have two paths I can take for this story now.

The poll I've setup in my profile will be to determine whether I continue using the original series and maybe take some things here or there from the movies (not majorly plot important stuff that contradicts the original show, like I've been doing with the other spinoff material) or if I go full out and use the movie's canon in place of the original series.

The main reason I'm posing this now is because I'm about to hit the first major crossroads that presents a difference between the two canons (namely, Shirley, Diethard, and Mao for those who know what I'm talking about) and I feel this is the best time I can do that.

Please vote in the actual poll as reviews will not be counted as separate votes. Feel free to post your reasoning in reviews however as that will help me make my decision.
