Chapter Text
So let's start with the question that's on all of our minds at the moment. "Where have you been?".
Funnily enough, that answer is the same answer to the question "Why exactly do you need a break?".
Despite both of them being answers to questions I'm going to answer, it doesn't make it any less harder to say it.
It hurts to ask for help, it hurts even more to ask for help from people you don't know, and can't pay back, and who are strangers. (Though I'm sure you're all lovely people, any fan of Jimmy Solidarity must be, it's the way of life. Fan of Scott Smajor? Jury's still out on that one. /lh)
Not only does it hurt to ask for help, i also don't want to disclose any information about myself that will put me in harms way, you know, basic internet safety.
I am a minor, who's been going through (at least, during the duration of this fic)a domestic violence situation. We're living safely now, please do not worry.
My abuser had been paying the bills of the place. But everything shut off, and while we have some money saved up and my family can take care of stuff, I'll need to step way from this story and this account - in the short term. While this story (and my writing) will still be a escape and I will continue writing - its just that updating and posting can not be a priority right now. I can offer no assurances for timely or regular new chapters, and it may be that these sort of 3 month breaks become the new normal. For this I'm sorry, but I know there are amazing and brilliant writers (as well as wonderful artists and countless other creators of fanworks) in this community that you can enjoy, so I invite you to do so!
Also, I'm sure many of you are asking "why didn't you post this on Twitter or on any actual social media?" And that is because, On those platforms, there would be no guarantee people would see it, or get that I would need to take a (short) break. Here, i have (thE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME ON MY SIDE) a little something that will at least be seen and heard. It's also the best way I can contact my friends as well of contacting all you guys.
And before I leave (again only for a short time to figure out stuff) I'd like to mention, that a chapter is underway! And in this one, a certain codman will fail to keep his mouth shut, and spill the beans to a very baffled elf boy. (Aka they have the Talk.)
