So... some of you may have noticed that i haven't been keeping up with the Against The Sun updates... I wanted to reassure everyone that i am not abandoning this story, but i have been struggling. When i started this it was supposed to be a short little story about how Party and Kobra got to the Zones, and it has since grown into a monster that i am fairly confident will eventually spread over 4-5 books. It has also evolved into something a lot more mature and dark than i was expecting when i started. So... i have decided to re-write and not publish until the first book is complete. This will give me space to tinker with more complicated pieces of the plot, and allow for more thorough editing and beta reading. Vitally it also allows me to go back and age up the characters a little because truthfully i was becoming a little uncomfortable at some of the topics i wanted to cover with the characters being the ages they currently are. I hope you all understand and i am so excited to show this to you in its complete form and being the best version of the story that it can be.
          	
          	In the meantime i will still be sporadically updating Sucker-Punch and i have a new story that may make an appearance shortly too so look out for that. 
          	
          	LOVE YOU ALL!

Two new chapters of Sucker-Punch for you lucky devils this week, you know, cause i kinda like you guys and all :P
          
          Also i have about half of the next chapter of Against The Sun done so look out for that hopefully tomorrow. After a month of writer's block i feel like i'm on a roll again!

Very important question for Sucker-Punch... If Ray were to wear a novelty onesie... what would it be? 
          
          We have photographic evidence of Gerard in a skeleton onesie, Frank in a dinosaur onesie... and obviously Mikey would be a unicorn... But Ray has me stumped :P

@renisnotaghost Teddy bear would also work... My friend outside of wattpad suggested Giraffe which i also kind of find hilarious :P Especially if its one of those giraffe onesies that has the head on top of the hood :P

So I was all better, got my voice back, was feeling great. Had all my writing for this damn next chapter ready to go this weekend. And it's been a real nasty bitch to write let me tell you, won't listen to what I say at all. Then I woke up this morning with the flu. I am now sitting under five blankets with a heater on shivering my butt of and trying not to throw up.
          AND MY UTERUS DECIDED IT HATES ME TOO!
          
          So i've decided im Bubble Boy now... My immune system can obviously not be trusted.
          
          So this is my very complain-y way of saying unless I wake up feeling miraculous tomorrow don't expect the next chapter of Against the Sun any time soon. It's so close to finished but I can't see out of one eye cause it's watering too much.
          
          As Show Pony said in Chapter 6: The Lobby, please send my immune system your "strongly worded letter of complaint"

So my plague rat kids brought home something from the bio lab that is preschool and now we are all sick again, so probably no chapter this week, as we need to clean for our rental inspection next week, so that's going to be fun while feeling like im half dead. I told you guys i have the world's shittiest immune system :P

I have a new "story" up that not actually a story, but IS where i will be putting all my ideas for future stories. It's Called Bright Ideas and there's currently two little baby seeds of story ideas hidden away in there. So please go check them out and if any of them strike your fancy or if you have any ideas please comment and let me know :)

Okay, so ive been sitting in bed trying to write the next chapter of Against The Sun and it's it's just not happening because i am fucking sick as hell at the moment. I honestly have the world's shitest immune system and i have been sick at least once a month since the beginning of the year and i am so done with it. I used to get this throat and lung infection once or twice a year since i was little, but EVERY FUCKING MONTH GUYS! I have pulled all my back and stomach muscles from coughing so hard and it's messing with my asthma and my heart murmur and i'm having to miss my best friend's hens party tonight and im pissed off about it. And i can't even blame the spicy flu cause i've tested and its not that. ARGH! 
          
          ... Sorry about the rant im just really really done feeling this sick all time time. 
          
          Anyway all this is to say i don't have the brain power right now to do Against the Sun cause that require me to actually concentrate and the next chapter is really important and i want to get it right. I know you guys will understand cause you're all amazing and everything and the only person putting pressure on me to have a chapter done a week is me, cause i can't help but give myself unrealistic expectations :P
          
          Send chocolate and any funny MCR content you have why i hack up a lung and try not to die.
          
          Thanks for coming to me TED talk :P

Surprise! I have a second story up and ready to read the first chapter :P Against the Sun is still my top priority, but this is something i'm just working on sporadically when i get stuck. I've always found it helpful to switch between projects when i'm in a slump. So check it out! It's called Sucker-Punch and i hope you like it :)

So i may be a little emotional right now, and i didn't expect to be. I was like if they decide to release new music, that's cool, but i was also cool with them just touring and playing their old stuff. But it's happened. My Chem have released a new song, and it's amazing, and it's bringing back all those feels. This band seriously means so much to me, and so yeah, i teared up a little listening to this because i've fucking MISSED THEM! http://mcr.lnk.to/thefoundationsofdecay

Totally agree :) A big fat delicious juicy cherry :)

When I got the notification I couldn’t download the song fast enough. If the guys were unsure at all how much they’re loved, I’m certain that the number of downloads and streams will have reassured them. I just can’t express in words how much they mean to me (and have done for the last 18 years!). 
            I remember how I felt when Frank announced their return and I’m just as excited now, maybe even more! If I’m honest - even if they just took to the stage and stood there I’d be grateful! It’s wonderful to see them back and happy. New music is the enormous cherry on top of the best cake ever!
