Hello sweet friends♡
          	
          	I have decided to take a small hiatus starting this evening until 12/1. I have a few people's stories I need to catch up on and then I'm going to take a mental break for my own sake.
          	
          	I promise I am ok, just need to take some time away and spend time offline.♡ 
          	
          	I may break it early just depending on my life. 
          	
          	Again, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families♡ I hope you all have a lovely week and may you be surrounded by love.

Hello my lovely friends♡
          
          I just want to touch base with all of you.
          
          I am behind on my reads and responses, and for that I truly apologize. I have a lot of stressful things happening in my life and sometimes, writing is easier to focus on than reading. 
          
          I promise I'll catch up, but please don't think I have forgotten your stories or you. I'm sorry if this has frustrated anyone or caused an issue, as it is never my intention.
          
          Take care, 
          ♡Dani

            Also Congrats on 1k reads! So happy for you!❤

Hi, sweetheart. Yes, I'm still on my hiatus, but I had to pop over here real quick, because I've been, quite frankly, more than a little worried about the status of our friendship/sisterhood.
          
          I hope everything's okay between us & that I didn't say or do anything that upset you before I left on my hiatus.
          
          Your absence from my page has been painfully noticeable, to say the least. I know it's the holiday season & that you're juggling a LOT of things on & offline. It just seems like you've been gone from my page a fair bit longer than other times in the past.
          
          Take as much time as you need to reply to this; there's no rush, as always. I just wanted to pop out of my hiatus for a little bit & articulate my feelings to you as clearly as possible.
          
          As long as everything's alright, that's all that matters to me. My recent lengthy message board announcements & my various reading adventures will be waiting for you once you're ready to return to them.
          
          Stay safe, stay warm, stay hydrated, & keep your head held high. <3
          
          ~Love, Lizzie

SunsetMercer

@Dandan0_3 I'm beyond glad to hear we're still alright. Sometimes, especially around the holidays, my overthinking & second-guessing jump into overdrive, so every bit of reassurance is appreciated MUCH more than you know. <3
            
            I'm so sorry to hear that, darling. I'll keep you, your brother, & the rest of your loved ones in my thoughts. *Sending hope, love, light, & stress-free vibes your way. <33*
            
            I'm glad working on your story has brought you some measure of peace, & I hope you know how proud I am of you for all of the progress you've made, as well as the inspiring amount of grace & strength you've wielded during every obstacle that's been thrown your way. <333
            
            That sounds lovely, & if you end up having to delay your catch-up spree for any reason, please, please know that I understand & am NOT upset with you in the slightest. I know how hectic things can get, especially when the holidays & family emergencies are involved. <3333
            
            Thank you, sweetheart. It's been fairly nice, despite a few hiccups, & I'm proud of every bit of progress I've been able to make thus far. <3
            
            Take care of yourself first & foremost, my darling Dani. You are adored, appreciated, & admired more than you know. <3333
            
            I look forward to chatting more once my hiatus ends {11/25]. <333
            
            ~All of my love, Lizzie Lupin

@SunsetMercer Hi my lovely Lizzie♡
            
            Everything between us is absolutely fine! Please don't feel like you have done anything to upset me because that is the furthest thing from the truth! I love you very much sweet friend♡
            
            I have had a lot going on: my brother has a very scary diagnosis, I'm studying to get my LPN, my ADD is really affecting me, and sometimes writing my story is the only solace my brain has so you may see that update more than my reads and I apologize for that. I am SEVERELY behind on my reads and responses, but wanted to sit down with yours when I have a nice amount of time so that I do not rush.♡
            
            Life frankly has been not so fun lately and my stress is pretty high. I'm sorry that I've caused you once again to question our friendship. When I disappear for whatever reason, just know isn't a you thing but a me thing. I'm trying my best juggle all the pieces, but clearly fall short. 
            
            My plan is to sit down this weekend and catch up on things.
            
            Hope your hiatus is relaxing.

Hi lovely friends♡
          
          Do you ever just have an idea for your next chapters, but you have terrible ADD and are afraid if you don't sit down and put that idea into action right this second it'll be lost forever?
          
          Because that is what happened today and that is why you suddenly have chapters 18 and 19 so soon after chapter 17 dropping! 
          
          My mind is a menace and I may have no sleep, but hey...you got some fresh reading material! 
          
          Take care,
          ♡Dani

@Dandan0_3 yeah i understand you. But i have a strange quirk.  I can only write in my bed with laptop in my lap. If i sit on chair, nothing is coming to my mind.  The bed is so damn comfortable.
Reply

Coldblooded_Man

@Dandan0_3 No not really. Not for me actually. I just dont have any path for which to write. For me, its like seat in front of the laptop and create a docs file. Then when i keep staring at it, it begins coming to me and i begin writing and then i go from there and keep on tweaking it. 
            Thats why it takes me so much longer than normal to write the chapter. Otherwise i could write a 1000 words plus in a hour.
            The condition you said to happen to apply to my lucid dreams. Sometime i see this fantastic ideas in my dreams. It sounds so cool but then i feel like i will write about it in the morning but once morning comes, i never remember it.
            It has happened so many times but i just cant seem to wake myself to write it down. 
Reply

Dandan0_3

@Coldblooded_Man Yeah, if I don't write it when it strikes my brain it's gone and likely never coming back. I do have those moments of sitting and staring at the word doc, too.
            
            But, typically the way I work is to do a skeleton rough draft and then flesh it out more and more as I go. But that's just what works for me. I have to kinda write out certain plot points...how we get there often changes, but if I don't create some direction for myself....it won't go well lol

Chapter 17 was posted yesterday, I just forgot to say anything. My brain is so unfocused these days that I don't remember what I have or haven't done sometimes! 
          
          Our friends are half way through their journey♡ and I'm nearing 1K reads on it! I'm hoping, if you are reading, that their journey continues to keep you entertained until the very end!
          
          ☆☆If you are reading along, what is your favorite moment so far? Are there characters you wish you saw more of? Less of? 
          
          Always like to hear feedback!

@jimmyah95 I do enjoy writing those two a lot! They both have undergone a lot of changes since my original draft And most do wanna beat Rentarou!
            
            Thanks for reading the story dear brother of mine! ♡ Love you!

jimmyah95

@Dandan0_3 All your characters are great. I think I like Kochi and Kousuke the most out of all of them. I'd just like to see Rentarou get kicked into the afterlife. 
            
            Great work, sis.

You know something funny, Dani?
          After just a few days of going inactive, everybody forgot me. Like all the guys i interacted with are gone. It's kind of sad. Just wanted to message you because you are one of my loyal reader.

Dandan0_3

@Coldblooded_Man Of course not! No worries here, I won't forget you if you disappear for a bit at times. Like I said, I know as well as anyone that life can be busy. I'll still be here. I'll read your new update here soon after I've finished some errands!♡  Thank you for continuing mine and for all of your feedback.

@Dandan0_3 And thats why i have really decided to follow only the works i like. Yours being one. It has significantly improving potential. So, dont forget me if i go offline for a while. I will do the same.

Dandan0_3

@Coldblooded_Man Aw, no! I'm sorry that happened to you. Life gets busy and sometimes you have to be inactive. If people don't understand that then it's a them problem, not a you problem. I understand that it sucks though. I'm sorry my friend♡

Hi friends♡ 
          
          Chapter 16 was just dropped. To anyone continuing to read "The Fate That Binds Us": thank you! I appreciate you and I can't express that enough.
          
          I hope you like 16! Chapter 17 is being edited and will probably drop over the weekend. 
          
          I promise to continue catching up on my reads! Life has been a little difficult lately, so I do apologize for any delay.♡
          
          
          Take care,
