:) I have to say thank you to everyone for the support Words has recieved so far. I'm very proud to say that it is my third-highest viewed, reviewed, and favorited story, and it has been read in 24 (and counting!) different countries. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being so kind and bearing with my slow-to-update self.

I'm officially planning two new stories - one is a sequel to Holiday Cheer, provoked by an inspiring review. I quote: "sequel plz." Thanks to "sequel plz" person, I am in the process of creating more Yuffentine fluff to clutter my profile with. As Holiday Cheer was themed, this one will be themed as well - and the theme will be summer. The other story is in honor of Final Fantasy VIII's (almost) tenth anniversary. As Square Enix doesn't seem to be doing much to honor my favorite of their games, I'm taking it upon myself to head back to FF8 for a time and see what I can find there again. I don't know when I'll be even remotely done with these stories, but we'll see. Oh, yes... we'll see.

As usual, I thank each and every person who checks my profile, reads my stories, and leaves a review or even a favorite. I'm honored and slightly embarrassed that certain stories are doing so well, but that's life. Still, it absolutely thrills me when I see someone has enjoyed my stories. So thank you again.

If you'd ever like to see ideas I've had that couldn't be put in a story, feel free to check out my YouTube account, where I post all sorts of nonsense that didn't quite cooperate when I tried to stick it on paper. http://www.youtube.com/user/grieverwings
