It's been slow going, but I think I'm finally getting somewhere with the next chapter. I'm still not very well, and I've been spending less time on FimFic lately than I used to, but I'm still trucking along and -- most importantly -- still enjoying writing. It might be a week, it might be longer, but I'll get there. Thanks so much for being as patient with me as you have been; I'll update as soon as I have everything finished and up to standard, and hopefully things will improve from here on

I've recently rebuilt my PC, and currently it's not playing nice with my internet setup, so I'm going to have to try other arrangements to get internet back on my desktop.

Since I write directly to FimFic, I can still access what I've written on my phone, but FimFic's mobile site makes editing a pain in the backside, so I'm just going to keep writing on my phone and worry about editing when I have my PC connected again.

I've not been well for quite a while now (health issues that have already caused several breaks from writing before this latest one) and generally haven't been in the right headspace for much of anything, especially writing. I'm not 100% even now, but after a month or so at about this level of wellness, I've decided it's a waste of time waiting to get back to full health. I've no idea when I'll be back to where I was before all this, so I'm just going to work with it as best I can and write at

I've had a hell of a couple of months, completely snowed under with coursework, but at last that's all finished and I have some free time again. It's been a while since I last worked on the story, so while I'm still getting into the mindset of writing it again progress is probably going to be a little slower than usual, but I hope to get back up to speed soon.

See you all next chapter, and thanks for being patient!

I've just made a minor edit to the chapter 'Divertissement' which changes the description of the painting of Diamond's mother. I wrote that description long before Diamond's mother was shown on-screen, so I've now changed it to match Spoiled Rich/Milk's canon appearance. I remembered that scene when I was writing Filthy Rich's story (about how he fell in love with Spoiled) for the next chapter, and went back to fix it.

The new chapter is now up on-site for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for being patient with me!

I've finished writing the latest chapter, but it still needs editing. I aim to get that done by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Looking forward to bringing you some new content after nearly four months. I hadn't realised it had been so long since I updated, but the last chapter went up on the 13th of December last year. If that's not proof I need to get back on track with writing this, nothing is.

See you all soon.

Well, not much of a change really, but an important one. I've taken forever on this chapter because I've had so little time to work on the story as a whole. I've been writing in little bursts between bits of work, but due to the length of the chapter I'd planned, it's taken forever to get close to finished writing like this. Because of the length of time between some of these writing periods, the chapter has basically sat untouched for weeks while I dealt with other things, which is leading me

So, that update never materialised, and I'm sorry. It's still sitting half-finished on-site, mostly unchanged from what it was last blog post, because I've been so inundated with work that I haven't touched it in months. I've barely been on the site at all since the New Year (I have 383 unread chapters in my favourites alone) because the fairly-serious health problems I had around then (improving now) left me way behind on a lot of very important work. It's taken me until now to get on top of

There's half an hour left of the 24th where I am, but that's far from enough to finish the chapter and give it the proper editing sweep it deserves. Gutted I couldn't do it in time, but I think the finished product will be worth it. I probably won't do much writing tomorrow for obvious reasons, or on the 26th/27th because I'll be away visiting family, but I'll get back to writing ASAP once the whole Christmas thing is more or less over. I'd like to get this out before the new year, at the very

I'm working on a new chapter, maybe 1/4 done at the moment, which I really want to get done before Christmas. I realise this only leaves me two days, but this one's practically writing itself so I think I can get it done in time. If it's not ready, I'm not going to just post it anyway, but an update tomorrow is the aim so I'll try and work towards that. This isn't quite as arbitrary a deadline as it might seem, by the way: I said in a reply to a comment last chapter that I'd try to get a new

Just an FYI for those who might not have gotten/noticed the new chapter notification: the chapter is up at last, and I hope you enjoy!

So next chapter is pretty much fully written. I just need to edit it now and get it polished to the proper level of quality, then we'll be back in business. I'm going to leave it alone until I've had some sleep, but it's looking like I'll have an update for you sometime tomorrow. Thanks for being patient with me; I'm really looking forward to bringing you this one.

See you all soon!

My health has taken a real turn for the worst recently (one episode last week was so bad that at the time I thought I was having a heart attack) and I'm still far from 100%, so progress has been slow, but I have been making progress. It helps to put my mind to something other than worrying about my current condition, and so far writing Collapse, Collide has been the most helpful of all my distractions. I think that might be because I'm actually doing something productive rather than just

So that Thursday update never happened. I really wanted to get the chapter done, but I've had a few things come up IRL - assignments for Uni, and some fairly serious medical issues - that did a big job of taking all my time away.

I'm about halfway through the next chapter, and at this point I think I'll probably be able to finish and upload in time for Thursday. I'm really looking forwards to bringing you this next update, since it's been so long and the new chapter deals with some interesting stuff. I'm delving into Auburn's psychology a little in this next chapter, trying to explain why she did what she did and how she ticks. I never meant for her character to be so complex, but that's just how these things go

I've been busy lately, so it took me longer than I'd hoped to get a solid plan for where the story's going, but I'm there now and I've been writing again, working on the next chapter.

I've just posted a blog post cancelling my other story, for the same reasons that have left Collapse Collide without updates or word from me for months. The balance of my life has changed dramatically, to the point where I am a lot more tired, with a lot less free time, than I was before this summer. Trying to get things in order has taken months, but I feel like I'm at a point where I can accurately plan for the future and think about more than getting some sanity back into my daily routine.

As I think I mentioned before, I will be on holiday from tomorrow until next Saturday, and will most likely not be back to work until at least that Sunday. As things are, I think I can manage an update for the Thursday of the week following that Sunday, but until then there will be a gap in updates. This, I realise, is not what I had told you would happen - in fact, it is almost the opposite of what I'd said.

Not quite the Monday update I'd planned, but better than I'd expected since it took about two days longer than I'd thought to finish the last chapter. 3,500-ish words is right about what I'd planned for this one, and writing it didn't drag a bit. Most of this was written today, and the first part yesterday, so I'm quite pleased with my progress. A nice mix of heartwarming fluff and depressing angst this time around.
