To all my readers

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that's been patient with me, as I attempt to weave my story together. I know that at times it's not easy putting up with the pacing. And while I don't want to rush through everything, and leave readers wondering just what happened, I also don't want to be stalling and driving people away. But there are just so many details that plot elements that I want to explore in depth, to paint an elaborate world. But that really isn't an excuse for stalling production, and I recognize that.

I'll also admit that the current storyline is getting into the dark territory, but there's a very legitimate reason for that. I have plans for something that's going to be utterly epic in degree. But to do is as I see it, I need backstory that will explain the motivation for the characters doing what they're going to do. I need something to justify what may be seen as serious OOC moments, that would otherwise be called out on the spot, for being something that certain characters would never be doing. This isn't about torture porn, or going out of the way to make others suffer for no reason at all. Rather this is about justifying what's to come.

There are coming chapters that are going to be slow, I admit that. But their length is also going to be growing. And once things really get rolling, things are going to be coming fast, hard, and heavy. And I desperately, desperately want to reveal just what I have in mind. But I've been advised against it by those who're a great deal wiser than myself.

Alright then I return to the waiting game.

I have seen a lot of stories push these characters well out of the bounds in which I consider them comfortable reasonable. I have seen characters act OOC and make decisions... hell even BE biologically and socially different for the sake of a story being realized at all costs.

The very fact that you care as much as you do about not doing this is more than enough to stave off my apprehension.

A story is about characters. Characters do things to generate events which are experienced. That is all any story ever is. As long as you never lose sight of the fact that a story is made of its characters' choices and experiences, you will always write in balance, even if you don't always write exactly what you intended.

Glad somebody on this site cares about OOCness!

Can't wait, the hype is real.
