(*flail*) (*flail*) (*flail*)

Well, September came and went, and my intended update did not happen. I got slammed by Real Life obligations left and right, including a couple festivals in my school/village, a professional conference at which I'm paneling, a bunch of emergency house repairs, a bucketload of grad school applications, having to re-teach myself all of the math that I ever learned in preparation for the GRE in three weeks... So. Um. Yeah.

The next chapter has not even been sent to be beta'd, yet.

I apologize for keeping my few readers waiting, and I promise to try my best to double-update sometime in October.
