Hey guys, just checking in to let you all know I haven't died. Right now I'm not focusing so much on ADT, I'm sorry, because I am just *stuck*. I may go back and edit the earlier chapters because I've written myself into a bit of an awkward position, though explaining in detail would reveal too many plot points. I'm flexing the writing muscles on some other projects, and I'm managing to get back up out of my funk slowly but surely. I don't want to release anything that may likewise falter, but I've got several thousand new words that you may or may not see soon. Poke me any time you want; I'm sorry I dropped some threads of conversation from a while back, but I'm always doing my best to stay on top of things. It's only when I wind up with, like, 20 walls of text to respond to that I tend to shell up like a frightened turtle and not respond, sorry ._. . Not that that's a complaint directed at anypony in particular, I'm just bad at dealing with those. You're all so opinionated, and if I had more time, I'd spend it in deep debate with you. As a reminder, my email is listed in case anyone every wants to chat - it works a lot better than DA comments. Or just drop me a comment! Maybe someone could help me sort out ADT xP. Anyway, thank you all for your patience, hope to reward it soon.

P.S. I was gonna write a joke post for April Fools but every time I started I just thought of how mean I sounded and erased it T_T. So, um, sorry for almost trying to fool you guys. I didn't mean it, I promise.
