NOT A NEW CHAPTER! NOT A NEW CHAPTER!

*Clears throat* Okay, this... is just a notice I'm putting in to tell you guys what's going on with this story. Because I'm STILL getting reviews and messages from people begging me to update. I'd love to and BELIEVE me when I say it's killing me not to, but it's only for a while but... This story is on hiatus.

*DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN*

Yes, it's true. But there's good reason for it! You see, while I was writing this fic, I kept having to come up with stuff that happened in the past to flesh this story out more... Like the ArniexHelgaxArnold deal... the ArnoldxLilaxHelgaxLyle deal... the 'I've been in love with her for seven years' deal... the LilaxLyle deal... and not ALL those x's are romantic, just so you know. Lyle and Lila are brother and sister (*gag*). But the point is, my head has been bombarded with so much inspiration for stuff that happened BEFORE "The Pickle Jar" that it's amazing I've been able to sleep at all! And it got me thinking like, "TPJ is kinda like TJM in HA!, right...? Well then, pfft, TJM never could have happened without the HA! series. That would have been stupid, and no one would have understood what was going on." And since I don't want to be writing about how the chicken fled the coop BEFORE the chicken was BORN, I've started work on a new fic called, "The Pickle Jar: The Series." Excited yet? :D :D :D

*Cricket chirps in background*

Yes, well... *Clears throat* I put a poll up before I began work, talked to my friends, and they all pretty much agreed it was a great idea so if you disagree, then I don't know what to say. I'm sorry. ^^; But the point is, click on my profile, and look for "The Pickle Jar The Series." It's already started, I have the prologue up AND the first episode, and the second one is already in progress, so go check it out! And DON'T forget to review, please! Reviews have been real slow lately and it's been really bumming me out. Review and I'll give you a cookie! :D *Waves cookies in front of your nose* }:D

So... yeah. I'll start work on "The Pickle Jar" again as soon as the series is over. And don't worry, I'm not writing EVERY HA! episode, just the ones that actually significantly change, i.e. "Arnold's Hat," "Arnold's Valentine," "Helga's Makeover," "Arnold and Lila," etc. Just... a LOT of changes, but they're gonna be fun, so no worries. ;) I'm especially looking forward to "Arnold and Lila," because it's going to be renamed "Helga and Lyle," and well... Lyle is awesome. XD A very flat character, very manipulative, pretty much just like Lila only a dude, but he IS a teensy bit different and plus... he's a guy... and he's hot... XD Well, eh, as far as male Lila's go anyway. I never considered Lila very pretty anyway. She kinda always just reminded me of Pippy Longstocking. XD Which I know is a bit of an insult to Pippy, because she's so fleshed out and original and Lila is... not, but I digress. *Shrugs* XD I guess the point I'm trying to make is Lila would look WAY better if she was a guy. *Breaks out in laughter* Okay, I'm getting WAY off topic and I'm being really mean to Lila. XD I don't have anything against her, really! But... well, come on, you gotta admit that was funny. XD

Bye for now! And don't forget to check out my new fic, "The Pickle Jar: The Series!"
