*sigh* Here we go... This has been on my mind for awhile actually, but I wanted to get out at least one more chapter before I broke the news. Obviously that idea flew out the window.

As much as I hate to say this...
Margaret's Diamond Nuzlocke is being put on hold for the time being.
No, it is absolutely not ending. I fully intend to finish this eventually. I just gotta admit that I didn't really have a good plan going into this whole thing. All I really did was play a bit of a Diamond Nuzlocke and write about it for fun. Then for whatever reason I decided to put it up here with almost no idea for a plot besides what's in the game already. Hell, I haven't even finished the actual game yet!! And with  homework, plus after school band and choir practices added into the equation, writing hasn't exactly been my first priority. Oh, and have I mentioned the massive writers block I get almost all the time now? Yep. There's that too. I mean, it's been how long and I couldn't manage to write a new chapter or even a silly thing for Halloween!
Trust me when I say I really don't want to do this, but at the same time I feel like I almost have to. I need to take the time to really plan and flesh things out just right instead of just playing through the game and writing about it as I go. Once I have the time to do all that, I do hope to come back with a much better quality story for you all, and that's what I've wanted from the start! I feel like lately that hasn't been happening though, and it's about time I did something about it.
Blame me for being lazy or whatever the hell you want. Although it's probably true, I'm gonna fix all that and more. Now, you're probably wondering when I'll be back, and my best guess at the moment is a quarter past God-knows-when. One thing I do know is that it won't be anytime soon, but I'm hoping you'll stick around until that time comes.
Please understand that I'm doing this for the good of the story. I've put a lot of thought into this decision, and despite the huge hiatus I'm gonna have to take, I want to make something that satisfies both you as the the readers, and me. Unfortunately this is the only way I can do that.
But I promise to come back even better than before, hopefully with a weekly update schedule and a plot as thick as chunky peanut butter.

To the 10-20 people who still read this story, thank you so much for bearing with me through my not-so-active updates, it means a lot to know that at least some of you are still around. I hope to see you all and more once I'm back!

Signing off, (but just for now)
