Unfortunate News Everybody ;,( · 12:56am Apr 5th, 2015
Two Things:
Firstly, I'm putting Sneeze the Day on hiatus Why? Because neither I or Carlie really know how to end it. Or at least, we kinda knew what was supposed to happen in the end but we didn't plan out how to get there and there were things we missed and should have added earlier in the published chapters to get to where the story should have ended.
So i'll admit that I should have planned out the story entirely first and maybe writing the entire story before publishing it in its half finished form.
So unfortunately, you won't be seeing the story getting continued. Maybe I and Carlie will return to it one day. And admittedly, both of us kinda... lost interest in the story. It's been 2-3 weeks since we published it and every weekend we planned on releasing more chapters, something shows up out of nowhere to hinder and interrupt it so we make little to no progress. And after three weeks of this and both of us wanting to start work on new stories, that's why we also lost interest.
The second bad news, which while not related to the story.... one of my friends in high school just passed away They found her in her room but no one knows if it's suicide or something. She seemed so happy when I was in High School with her. But now im being told by a few that she might have had psychological issues like being bipolar or whatever. I dont know.
It's a shame I won't be going to her funeral, especially when it's taking place in Germany when I'm stuck here in this Third World cesspit
However, in regards to the story, me and Carlie are working on a new but shorter story. Something that won't take too much time, is not based off another story that was left unfinished, and more or less includes the same tags from Sneeze the Day. So if you especially like Expansion, you'll likely enjoy it
Sincerest apologies to those who were looking forward to Sneeze the Day's completion. Hope our new (shorter) story makes up for it
That is certainly a shame. Sneeze the Day was one of the most unique and promising fics I've read in a while. And I'm sorry for your loss. I've had a friend who tried to kill himself and I don't what I would do if he went through with it. Can't wait to read your next story.

Yeah, it was unexpected. It's been three years since High School and I didn't get to talk to her at all. Why? It's a long story... (short story: I isolated myself from almost everyone I knew because I didn't want them to find out about what happened to me since everything went downhill since 2012 i.e. me being stuck in Thailand when everyone thought I would be studying in Paris or Vancouver )
So I never got to talk and thank her after I graduated.
And she was the last one I'd expect to (possibly) commit suicide. At first I thought she was still alive since I saw some 'her' post pictures on her Facebook wall. But I didn't read the captions, which happened to include "RIP" in the text and that these photos were from her friends being shared on her wall.
In any case, sorry about your friend and glad that you still have him around
And about the story(ies), yeah, it's a shame and we tried so hard on finding a way to continue and tie it with the ending but alas.... in any case, at least this new one probably wont be as difficult
I am really sorry to hear about your friend. All I can is that that is miserable news and you and your friend couldn't have possibly deserved this happening - to you AND her.
