Announcement...dammit

Hello my good readers! CPM here with another announcement!...Crap, I didn't want to one again so soon, but given the circumstances, it's best if I do it now. There's a few things you should know that will of interest for the future of this story. I'll go with them one by one. Yes this is just a tad long, but please read it. If you don't that's fine (but don't complain when you see me disappearing XD).

First, remember when I said I would try to get this story on EQD? Well, I've gone back to the editing, which I left unattended for far too long, and if I don't continue now, it will be too long (and it's a near 120.000 words story, so you get the idea). That said, I MAY take longer on the updates, so I can concentrate on this as well. Truth is, it's boring, but I HAVE to do it if I at least want a chance to get in, which if I DO get in, then I'll die in piece XD. This brings me to another point.

There are two things I'd like to get in certain NOW, so I don't have to worry later in the "Enter EQD" operation. One is the name of the story. If I were to be truthful and say, that the name satisfies me to bring attention from the exterior, I'd be lying. I'm not totally sure whether the name would be convenient or not, but if writers know something, it's that the title is one of the most difficult things to get, and mine is no different, because it has to represent the story. So my question for you is this next one.

Do you think that I should change the name of the story, and if you do, what would you name it?

This is me trying to get outside opinions, because I DON'T like to ask for things of this sort. Feels like you're making the story more than I do, and that's bad. If I get ideas, good. But I don't want to make the story almost based on the readers. My catchphrase may tell you to give me ideas, but there's a limit I have to draw.

The other point is the cover art. It's MUCH more likely to get attention to your story, when you have a cover art that would represent your story, and it's very commendable to do so when trying to get into EQD. My cover art idea is BIG, nor do I have enough money (nor do I think I would get the interest of) to get any of the good drawers to do it for me, and I DON'T know how to draw good, and if there's one thing I hate, is someone doing something for me without some sort of retribution from me. All I could offer is credit for it in BIG letters. So if by any chance you know someone who'd be willing to do a cover art for me, or maybe even yourself, PM me and we'll see if I can get you/him/her to do it (sounds bad like that, but it's technically the truth…(sigh)). I can't write WHAT is my idea, because it will spoil a bit of the story (what I can say however, is that it will involve the rest of the groups).

Finally, in the near future (and take the definition of "near" with the same train of thought you could take either Valve's or Mane6's "soon" definition), I'll be working on two new stories, one by myself, the other will be conjoint with another writer. I'm not going to finish this year, nor I expect it to be finished by the half of the next year. Is it because I will stop working on this story? No, it's because it's long. And believe me when I say this, this story WILL be long. I have a high interest for the next story I'm planning, and it's probable I could start working on it soon (again, take it with Mane6's or Valve's "Soon" definition), and I hope it will interest you as well. It will be FAR different from this, in a sense, and if somebody tells me it's original, then great! Anyway, I think that's all I had to say. I hope not many of you were expecting any chapters…and as much as that would be good for me because it means I'm doing a good job, I don't want you to be on false hopes =).
