Well, it's been over two years. You do not want to know what I've been busy with in the meantime. However, I will finish what I've started eventually. I'll finish The Art of Alliance first, because I have a duty to do so. I owe you all at least that much for this hiatus. Then, I'll finish POIR. Finally, I'll wrap up Jigglypuff and the Magical, Musical Wand. Once that's finished, though, I'm done. I've got a lot that I'm working on, including an alternate history of the world from 1270-1290 AD. It's like writing a fanfic about the real world! As of today, I am working on Chapter 4 of TAoA. It will most likely be 8 chapters long when it's finished, though I may shorten that due to time constraints. Again, I'm really sorry for leaving, and I hope you will all forgive me. I... I need a donut.
