This is the post I just put up on my site, I thought I'd put it up here to let you guys know about what I'm doing. It's basically what MeiLin did during her hiatus, but for different reasons.
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 tomorrow, 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.
Any guest content submissions and/or stories about your own story-interrupting issues would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

Aw! I am sorry to hear that. I haven't had a chance myself to get over there and start reading (I am burning slowly through Mirrorheart at the moment) but I think that I have a short little thing that I'd pass over a little thing I have -- 500 words or so.
If thou choose to take it, it'll probably be something they can chew on.
...but this leaves me with one question: how do I contact ya with the prose? Got contact info somewhere? (Our forum seems to lack a PM system.)

Oh dear, Alex! There seems to be a high level of "crappenings" lately. All good thoughts for sorting things out. I'm so frantic right now I haven't been able to read past your first couple of chapters or I'd jump in. I may yet.

Thanks, Mei, I hope you do (the first few chapters were a tad rough, I have to go back and revise them now that I've gotten into the story, thought that will have to wait for a later date.)
Thanks to everyone supporting me through this bidness
