...OK... Uh... I'm in a bit of a dilemma here as to whether or not I should remove The Black Bag for the time being. 
          	
          	First off, I've been reviewing the overall plot of the story thus far and I found that there are some parts that need editing and others that need more sense in them. 
          	
          	Another reason is that I'm currently at a loss on how to continue despite having the plot literally burnt into memory... like I know what is supposed to come next but I have no idea how to execute it without making things choppy and raising eyebrows. Even I'm confused on where this is going, I kid you not. :S
          	
          	Not sure if anybody would see this, but I would like to hear from you guys what you think I should do with this project, especially since I feel really stuck in a loop right now. Also, sorry for those who have been following the story for so long and haven't gotten any updates. Been doing things here and there, graduated two weeks ago and now deciding on what to do next. Also, brain won't shut up about other story concepts that I don't think of putting up because they're either unoriginal or they don't make sense. :p
          	
          	Anyway, hope to hear something from you soon. Thanks for the support.
          	
          	P.S. to Wiegenlied and Haruka Fukawa (or Schneezed), thanks again to both of you for your help with this story. Sorry that I'm not keeping up much. Hope you guys are well and kicking. :)

I’m so sorry for never seeing this! 
            
            Not knowing how to continue a book is common - hell, I took down an entire series just because I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. But now they’re back and I’m so proud of them. It’s a lot of effort, but I think you can do it! You’re already an amazing author, and Black Bag is one of the most intriguing books I’ve ever read, so with uni out of the way (congrats on graduating by the way!) I think it’s possible.
            
            If you’re thinking of other concepts, then working on those might actually help. I know when I was stuck in a rut I started trying other stuff and that lead to me fixing my story continuum. Plus it’s fun to try something else once in a while, the last thing you want is for this to feel like a dead end project. 
            
            I believe in you, Ivu-chan. You can do it :)

Finally back again. So sorry for not being here for so long, especially to those keeping in touch with The Black Bag. Part 2 is back in progress, though updates may be a bit jumpy and inconsistent at times. Hope you will enjoy the new stuff I'll be adding in.
          
          Thank you again for the support.

Hi Ivu-Chan! I wanted to thank you for all the votes and comments on Status: Online! You actually pushed the book over 800 views which really means a lot. I hope you continue to enjoy the book as I update in the future (with even more references). Have a wonderful day!

Thanks! I liked the name Yuki, but there was this weird pink haired girl following me around everywhere so I had to change it Fukawa (also I just really like Toko's character from Danganronpa). And I'm seriously glad you like Status. It's my first completed work, so I'm super proud of it. Which is why -in case you hadn't heard- there's going to be a series of books in that universe. Which I am ridiculous happy to begin publishing soon! As for Cameron and Edward's story, there'll be a few bumps here and there but I'm not about to spoil it for you. Happy reading!

My God, I just want Edward and Cameron to get together and make out already!!! XD Have a good one too, Haru-chan!! Oh, and love the new profile pic and name, by the way. ;)

@HarukaYuki- You're very welcome. Your work is really good. Seriously. Sorry for taking so long to answer this, by the way - exams were hectic. :)

Decided to start a new piece. The Black Bag is something to test myself to write in a slightly different style, trying to make the chapters a little shorter yet keeping details without being too overboard. If anyone starts getting confused on how the story is going, I'm trying to tell the story in a nonlinear order. Think 'Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya' - the show's season 1 episodes was aired that way initially to have the viewer make the connection themselves.
          
          Hope you guys will like it. Feel free to notify me on what parts to improve on. Like I said, this is a test to try a different writing style so yeah, I'd like to have some feedback. Be honest too please. :)

Hi, guys! Haven't messaged here in a long time, I. ...Ooiii... :/
          Welp. First off, I'm sorry if any updates are slow or if there's nothing coming from me at all. The thing is, I'm going to need to stop writing for a while... and I mean, a very long while until this semester is over. I just got into my 3rd semester of uni last month and the workload is enough to give me multiple migraines in a week. The schedule has gone wonky and I end up getting headaches sitting in one place too long, especially when you're waiting for 4 hours to pass just for Language class... (. .''')
          
          Also, I've been suffering through multiple writer's blocks and my content is a mess. I'm usually multitasking when it comes to this stuff (there is more than one story to update so I'd be switching one hour after another), but it looks like I can't keep this up any further...
          
          So as much as I hate to say this, I may have to take down a couple or so of my works (most probably Aligning the Stars and The White and Red Raconteur); because despite all the planning I've done, I can't seem to go through with them. Sometimes the rest of the content doesn't make sense and I have to start everything back from square one. Even if I do come back in one day to update a smidge of my work, there isn't going to be much to work on. So yeah... I'm stuck. DAMMIT...
          
          So, I'm sorry if I'm not here often to write more stuff or to read more of your works, but I'll try to juggle time as much as I can. Otherwise, it's quarantine for me until after the next couple of months. I hope you guys can bear with me until then. Well, hate to end this on the short note but, see you guys soon! Gotta get back to studying now. The date of the mid-terms exam will be confirmed by next Monday so I need to prepare like nuts.
