Okay guys, sorry for how long it took to update the fanfic. So many things are going on @_@

I should not have a gap that big anymore. If I do, I promise I will still someday pick it up, like I did this time. But I will not expect that anytime soon.

However, I am waist deep in college, in my interpreter program, and have other projects that I am working on such as my visual novel. I will work on each in moderation and try to manage each project at the same time to prevent another unexpected hiatus. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I know IOM wouldn't be where it was without all you fantastic readers <3 I hope I can be graced with this fantastic base of readers for my next fanfic project I'll choose to pick up after IOM.

Also, to wet your appetite, I will give you a liiittle hint about the next chapter.

In this next chapter, it starts looking like a genuine romance story. AND it will be focused on Pinkie and Pokie.

From now on, I will try to focus a chapter on one pairing each in rotation.

Thanks for reading!
