Update: It's coming, I swear.

First! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to everyone who has commented on the story so far. And yes, that includes those of you who have commented begging for updates - it lights the fire under my ass and feeds my ego. ^____^

Second! Here's the deal. I have two chapters that I want to post soonish. Unfortunately, I seem to be butting my head against something even deadlier than writer's block: Editor's block. Blaaaaargh. There is a section in the next chapter that requires major huge revision, and I'm really struggling with it right now. But I am working on it.

In happier news, this month I've made significant progress writing "ahead" (in the exile portion of the story), so yay go me. There's still about a year's worth of material already drafted at this point. And I'm still working, every month, on writing more.

This has been your friendly neighborhood update for January. Thank you again for all of your support, and I'm sorry about the delay.
