I'll just cut to the chase, since this is the only time I feel as though joking around won't really make things better.

It's now official; Bonetrousle is on hiatus. I've got no tricks up my sleeves this time, it's too much of a chaotic mess and not in the good way. Do I hate the story and never want to update it again? No. Do I want to fix the story's fundamental issues? Yes, but I sadly have no time for the latter due to my work taking precedent over my hobby.

I just don't have the motivation and time to brainstorm and write all day anymore. Flimsy reasoning, I'm aware, but Bonetrousle is starting to feel like a big looming threat - I can't update *insert other story here* because a lot of people are waiting for Bonetrousle, I don't have any ideas for the next chapter, oh no, etc.

It hurts. Typing this out is truly a pain to one of my most successful stories, even if I fully intend for it to be temporary. But I need to get this done for peace of mind and closure to a fanbase that has been nothing but supportive of this fic and wondering where it went even when being kept in the dark.

I'm so sorry to disappoint all of you, because here's where the part you might hate comes in. I'm going to be writing for other stories, not regularly but I will be. This includes Puzzling the Competition, my OPM fic that just barely got off the ground months ago and one fic on AO3 (Archive of Our Own). To be completely cliche, this isn't 'goodbye' so much as it is 'see you again some time'. I'll be around, but don't expect new Bonetrousle chapters for a very long time.
