Housekeeping and General Notes

Hey, everyone! Now that this chapter (or season, or part, or whatever you'd like to call it) is officially done, I'd just like to update everyone on what to expect next.

I'm not going to drop off the grid like I did before, but I will be having a bit of a hiatus (two or three weeks) to clean up my blog and prepare for the next chapter. There's a lot of general upkeep to do; several of my old posts are now obsolete thanks to a computer crash and lack of pictures, and I'm planning on creating a chapter-long summary so that people who are new to the story can skim it and get the general idea. I also need to fix several appearance-related things, such as the bright red accent that I would prefer to be a bit easier on the eyes.

That being said, I will be spending these next few weeks creating the aforementioned summary, a f.a.q. page, character bios (some of which are already up!) and coming up with a good plot for the next chapter. I'm still interested in hearing everyone's ideas and feedback, so hit me up if you have any!

So to wrap up, expect Chapter 2 to start sometime in April, and keep your eyes peeled for shiny information!

Another Update?!1!!!?1

I know, I'm teasing you guys horribly (those of you who are still around, anyways)! I can imagine all of you sobbing into your pillows at night because you don't know what's become of poor Jane, and rightly so. But fear not! Good news is here.

After a looong process of finding all my cc again, weeding out the cc I don't actually need, reinstalling the games, fighting with the new patches and EPs and SPs, getting PiB to send me a copy of the Pesces again, setting up Kaleeko's beautiful house, finding all the poses I need, and installing Photoshop again, I am finally on the road to the second half of the finale.

I don't have very many excuses to offer you, dear readers, though I had plenty at the time. The truth was that all the technical issues and broken computers had tired me out, and I'd lost motivation for more reasons than one, even after everything was fixed. At one point, I contemplated not even bothering with this story anymore because there was just so much going on in my life and I lacked the energy or inclination. But there were some people who lovingly pestered me to keep trying to get this finale done (like Kaleeko) and helped me through some of the problems I was going through (like PiB and Angie), and it's largely thanks to them that I started working on it again this week. 

My tentative date for the finale is sometime this weekend, most likely Friday. And I hope you'll all be happy to know that I have about half the pictures done already, so this isn't just an empty promise! Like all of you, I'm eager to see this chapter be completed, and I already have a lot of good ideas for the next one. That being said, however, I'd love to have your input on the subject! What kind of things do you want to see happen next chapter (besides me actually posting once in a while, hehe)? Consider this your chance to influence the next chapter of the Pesces' lives. I hope you take it!

And finally, some housekeeping notes. I've recently redone the blog's look, and it may still have some kinks to work out. A lot of the picture links were broken somehow, and I don't have the originals to replace them. Consequently, if you're trying to read my story from the beginning, there may be a few posts that are pictureless. I'll be working on a synopsis after my finale as a way of catching up for those of you who want to. As far as the layout goes, I believe I have everything set up correctly, but if you see anything that looks a little wonky, just let me know, either here, on my twitter, or on my tumblr (both of which are linked above). Also, I couldn't remember everyone's blogs for my Blogs I Love category, so if you'd like me to add yours, just let me know!

After the finale, I'll be working on that synopsis, a FAQ post, and more character bios, but it will only be a week or two before Chapter 2 starts up, so keep tuned! And thank you to everyone who is still sticking with me. <33

Update

Soooo I'd actually done about half the posts for the finale, and was planning on getting the rest today. And then my game broke somehow, and the only way to fix it is to apparently reinstall everything. 

Again. 

Needless to say, I'm not enthused about that. Since I was going to have to reinstall everything anyways when I got my new laptop, I'm just going to wait until that happens, rather than go through the hassle now. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but on my current computer it takes forever. (Plus, it involves scouring my whole house for all the discs that I always seem to misplace, moving all my CC, waiting for my computer to take hours to uninstall and reinstall everything, etc.) 

Soooo long story short, the finale will be coming out in early January. I know that's over a six month gap, and I'm really terribly sorry! After the finale's out, I'm going to attempt to return to a regular-ish posting schedule.
