Before you say anything, no it's not a chapter.

With the recent week being one of the most stressful I've had yet, on top of trying to find a job that will help pay my bills, I'm getting nothing for my writing done anymore. You'd think I'd be able to write with all this free time I have, but because this week was Mother's Day Weekend, my mom has been going nuts trying to get bouquets made and delivered on time before ten more orders take their place. My mom's got a policy of 'if I'm not happy, nobody's happy,' and as such, her stress has been transferred to me every chance she gets.

But this doesn't mean much. The holiday might be done, but this still leaves the status of this story. What's going to happen with it?

To be honest, I'm not ready to call it quits on this one yet. However, one thing was made abundantly clear in the last few months. This archive is dying out. As such, I can't in good faith update a story that not many will read...this coming from a guy that has some obscure tastes in media...

The worst part about this is, however, my biggest problem is how I burned myself out on DxD in general. After joining the discord server I'm still a part of, I got exposed to other opinions that helped to change my own perspective...as well as show just how badly other people's stupidity effects me. I'm not completely giving up on it, but much like American Noise, I'm putting this on the back burner until things straighten out and I find the drive to work on it again. I have plans for this story, but I need time to sort out my thoughts and start other projects to clear my head.

PROJECTS I WILL BE WORKING ON.

-The Neden Game (Monster Girl Quest/Okami X-over): Dude is pulled into the world of MGQ and given the powers of the Celestial Brush to do as much good as he can to the world's inhabitants while helping to stop Ilias from killing the humans and monsters.

-A Demon's Fate (Magic the Gathering/Monster Girl Encyclopedia X-over): This is being worked on behind the scenes. It's slow, but the next chapter is coming.

So for now, keep an eye out for my future updates/projects, and I will see you all next time.
