So I'm here, working on the new chapter, when my roommate comes in and tells me that one of our new roommate's rent checks bounced after being late with last month and 3 weeks late with the security deposit, so now our landlord wants us to fix the problem (which would involve getting him his money and getting a new roommate) or we have to be out by September.
So, I have decided to put the story on a brief hiatus until this gets sorted out. Chapter ten will go up and then the hiatus will begin. Sorry about this, but I need to set this aside while I get my real life in order.
I'll still be around to talk respond to comments and give updates, but no chapters for a while.
I'm going to take a page from MeiLin's handbook and ask for guest submissions during the hiatus. It can be art, poetry, fiction, something involving CotF (Like MeiLin, I don't want fanfic but sillyfic is awesome), really almost anything. This is just to have something for visitors to check out during the break.
In exchange, I will link to your website, webnovel, random thing you want to support, or what have you. You give my guest stuff, I promote you; win-win.
Sorry that I have to do this, guys, but I've been struggling to get new chapters written lately, so I think I need to take some time off and come back to it in a week or two when I can get the schedule back on track.
Thanks for your understanding.
(Also, I will still do bonus chapters if the donation goal is met. Every little bit helps.)

eh, stuff like this happens. me and my best friend had to kick another good friend out of our appartment because he was pretty much just sitting on his ass, eating everything in the place and playing his guitar, contributing nothing, so it's all good.

Man, that sucks. Good luck straightening it out. Looking forward to the next chapter. I'd try and submit some bonus guesty stuff, but the only story I have done that's any good, I'm thinking of trying to get published somewhere. (Mainly so that this summer is not a total black hole on my resume. XD) Anyway, take your time and get real life in order, we'll be waiting here when you come back. ^_^

You guys are awesome, thanks for keeping me going on this, I couldn't do it without you. Regular readers/commenters like you guys especially, but that also goes for everyone who's been reading.
Thanks everyone.

Hey, if you want guest stuff, i might be able to talk my girlfriend, who's an excelent artist (and i'm not saying that just cuz we're dating) into trying to work with the descriptions you've got in the story, for some fan art. like shawn and the gang.

That would be awesome! I would love some fan art stuff--let her know that i'll put up links to anything she might want to promote.

alrighty, i'll ask her when she gets back tomorrow afternoon(she's out camping with family) if she decides to do it, the way she works, she'd probably have at least shawn and retis done in about 2 hours (she's one of those superfocused artists)

ok, so i finally got to talk to my girlfriend, and she said she's up for the idea. she'll just need some detailed descriptions of what like shawn, retis, and anyone you think might look good and i'll get them to her and she'll start on them.

You or she can email me and I'll give any details you want/need.
