It'll take over a year to write, but hey, them's the breaks.

This week, none of my series will be updating, because I'm going to be entering another oneshot contest! After the success of the last one (Manaphy's Unsung Heroes), and after dragging my behind about it for a few weeks, I've finally decided to enter Amore's DiamondBloom Contest. Expect my oneshot entry, Amour Fragile, to come out in a few days.
