Whaddayamean,
don't leave you hanging? You realize I went nearly a full four weeks without posting a chapter, and I didn't get so much as a single penguin cannon pointed in my general direction? Honestly. No penguins, no penguin cannons, no water guns, no muffins... Not even a nagging stick. Just ONE little post asking for more story--thank you, Arianne--in nearly four weeks.
Have I really got THAT BAD of a reputation for abandoning stories? Man... I gotta work on this.
