Though the heavens fall, let justice be done.

I'm sorry, I am so very sorry for the lack of updates on, well, anything. A few of you have probably noticed that I've still been putting in the occasional appearance or comment, but as for chapter updates...yeah I've barely written anything for months for various reasons - work sucks, arranging a couple vacations, a falling out in my D&D group of 14 years, and just a sort of malaise that I've been in. Blah blah blah, excuses excuses.

And listening to music to keep yourself in the mood, and then you hear a song that has you suddenly realize that you've been writing the entire chapter wrong and should have instead been basing it around the song - not necessarily using the song directly (especially since that would be against site rules concerning wholesale copying of lyrics), but certainly drawing on it for inspiration.

Needless to say Midnight Castle is delayed again until I can think about something other than the sharp driving pain in my lower jaw.

For all my fellow US residents. And non-US residents, I guess, happy Turkey Day anyway. In celebration, I present the one and only Thanksgiving song that needs to exist (sure, there are some others, but...come on), plus full lyrics so that you can follow along. That's right, full lyrics for the full twenty minute song. I'm not proud.
