Since it Won't let me update the stories i have up so far... I will post this here for now since I don't know how long it will take for support to get back to me.

The Fox and the Hound Announcement.

So I know it’s been forever and I have not updated but things happened and life hits like a lovely ton of bricks. For starters my e-mail was hacked and I had to go on the lovely adventure of getting things turned off (e-bank statements, automatic emails, alert my contact list, etc. etc. etc.) and well Fanfiction.net is one of the ones I missed. I haven’t gotten any of my emails from this site and because of other mitigating factors I just did not think about it. My finances were the first and foremost concern about what had happened and once I was sure they were safe, other things have been a “OH shit I forgot to change my email on that site and this site” and so on.

Secondly was the fact that I am a social phobic. Now what does that have to do with this story? Well…. I wasn’t expecting the “attention” it got. Granted I am flattered and enjoy very much the feedback and what not but after a while my phobia kicked in and I got scared. Scared of what? Pleasing EVERYONE. You probably all noticed the questions at the end of the chapters popping up later in the chapters and the length of time between updates because I would keep see-sawing back and forth between options and worrying obsessively about how they would be received, especially by those who had been with the story a long time. Eventually that worry became a paralyzing force and I shrunk into my corner as I have been known to do (ex: see the Strength of the Wolf). I have suffered with this for years….since 7th grade really and I just have periods of time when any kind of attention, good or bad, seems like a lot bigger issue than it really is and I usually have to go back on medication to get back to “functioning” and restart where I left off.

I also started back to school since finding a job out of retail with my current degree wasn’t getting me anywhere and added to the problem above. I felt I wasn’t good enough and that compounded the panic and it just took me out of the game for a few months. HOWEVER since starting school for something I actually enjoy (computer technical support and networking) I feel a lot more confident lately and after a few quarters I finally have a working schedule of when I’m at work, class, and free time.

So what does that mean for the Fox and the Hound? I have missed this story; greatly. I feel I left at a bad place and that was not fair at all to any of you who have stuck it thru, especially you Fergnerd ;) my secretary and poking rod all in one. I have begun the process of rereading chapters and getting reacquainted with my little world. I am going to at least post a missing moment here soon and I will jump back on this horse even if it kills me. Of course I have 24 chapters to walk myself back thru and I will do so with a fine tooth comb. I may even redo the last chapter (24) as I feel it had horrendous gaps and missteps that need correcting.

So in all, I give a thousand pardons for this excessive streak of missing updates. I am back and I have a schedule I think will allow me to at least update once a week or once every ten days or so. These updates will probably happen on Sunday or Monday depending on if the Sunday is my open-to-close shift or not.

Again a thousand “I’m sorry’s” and lets see if I can pick this baby back up. Maybe even strength of the wolf as well…

Plot Bunnies Demanding I pay attention to them:

Cursing a Red Streak - Naruto Fic - multi-chapter - could or could not be off cannon depending on if we EVER find out what the F happened to Kushina-sama.
Two Years - Naruto Fic - series of ONE SHOTS - cause duh, shit happened on those two and a half years Jiraiya was training Naruto and we never got to see any of it! I'm pissed a bit about that...but happy in some ways that it opens a whole new can o' worms for one shots ;) Plus that one chapter does have little snapshots that so need expanded upon. evil cackling
The Force of Many - Star Wars Fic - started but in DIRE need of some love. First I'd have to rewrite and fix up The Force of One but that was on the docket anyway.
