Hi everyone.
I am SO SORRY that I've taken almost an entire YEAR (AGAIN) to update this fic! But please, let me explain!
Starting off, no- I did not get horribly injured/sick. I've spent the year focusing on my art and education, with working on improving my style and applying for different colleges and universities. The good news from all that work though is that I have been accepted into one of the top universities located where I live! My classes start in late August so let it be known that chapters will probably come to a halt around then. I will do my best to not fall so behind again with posting, but I can't promise that!
Another thing is that honestly, I haven't had much motivation to write for the Mental Au. I LOVE this story to death, but the first few chapters and the cringy writing style I had for those earlier parts haunts me...I've been considering rewriting those earlier chapters (obviously archiving the original versions), but I'm not sure if that's something readers would want until I finish the story. Of course, I won't be changing anything drastic! Mostly just clearing up weird wording and some strange stuff that I'm not even sure why I wrote.
One last thing! It's been a dream since I first started this fic to see it grow into what it is today, and I was wondering if to celebrate, you would all love it if I opened up an online store selling merchandise of the Mental Au! I would most likely sell keychains, acrylic stands, pins, prints, and lots of other knickknacks for you all to own! I would probably also sell merchandise of other series I'm interested in, because I want to offer more to people who love what I love! Let me know if you would want me to start something up like that! I'd really like to know so I can start saving up money to make these wishes come true!
Thank you all SO much for waiting as long as you have. Life has been hectic for all of us, and I'm just happy to know you all still find the time in your day to read my story.
