Hello to one and all. It's been a while, I know, but I had to think of different ways to further SLATE GREY's popularity. One of those ways was to remove the Links that had been posted to make way for the BRAND NEW Prologue that had been, believe or not, written AFTER I had completed the book! Lolz! My plan now is to allow the Prologue to 'marinate' for a while along with the re-edited first Link of Knot 0.5 until I build steam for the book--from scratch! For those too impatient to learn what's going to happen in the story before the links were removed, feel free to contact me via email for your personal PDF copy (read terms below regarding receiving your PDF copy). I will, of course, continue posting weekly, tough I hope that the readership becomes better as it grows. Dont forget to leave comments! Until we're linked up again!

Of course, the prologue has added a big change to the rest of Knot 0.5. So, please take a look as you will see for yourself that you will no longer be following strangers. Thank you all for your patience and continue supporting Slate Grey! Enjoy!^^

You know...last week, after posting the 1st Link of Knot 1, something got me thinking... I recalled the phase when I first started writing Knot 0.5. Remember? The one I said was originally supposed to be a prologue? Well, not to go too deep into describing the experience, I'll say that that scene, the maze of intrigue and peril it turned out to be, kinda ran...WILD! So wild, that it exceeded my initial 'prologue plan', but turned out to be quite the catalyst, I think. Though, like I said, it got me thinking. Great as I find 0.5, something was still missing. Something...natural. And that's when it hit me! I needed to go back to my initial plan--I needed a prologue! Thus, this week that has passed, saw me get into a time machine with my main cast to deliver to you this weeks installment! Ladies and noblemen, I give to you...THE PROLOGUE!!!

2 celebrate the commencement of Knot 1, the PDF versions of Slate Grey have been compiled—just for you! “Why create a PDF version?” you ask? Well, aside from a cleaner, more orderly and ‘developed’ layout similar to that of standard printed novels; a final polish of the entire project; and other tiny nuances you will never get reading the simple txt. format, you will also receive the epic “Visual Iconography” feature! What is that? Well, you will have to email me on finalanimosity@gmail.com showing your interests to receive your PDF preview to find out! I will say that it’s something I consider crucial to the originality, quality and entertainment of this YAOELN series and will be experienced hardly anywhere else! All I ask in return, dear Reader, after you’ve received and read this PDF version, is to return to the Slate Grey story here and share a few words, good or bad, regarding the series! It’s that simple! All this entertainment < for your enjoyment and treasured mentions! So, get Slate Grey at its very best right now and let’s build on this Reader/Writer relationship like we first spoke in order to bring the first official YAOELN to light, together!

I’m pleased 2 write that last week brought about the quick tie-up of Knot 0.5^^! What started off as a prologue, turned into quite the ride—with its mix of unnerve and rashness; danger at every available turn; the risks to save another; and the catastrophe that concluded it all, which, I’m sure, left heads abuzz with questions! Well, fans of the Slate Grey series will be thrilled to learn that the story continues this week—with the presentment of the brand-new Knot 1^^! In this hilarious, scatterbrained segment, titled “The indigo rope of unity that will bind ignorance! Let the first knot be tied!”, a threat (one that may be even scarier than a Tsukumogami!) is headed right for the Kigainawa household! Can the “overly expressive” Rensa—along with the unsmiling, canny Shiau and bubbleheaded-but-still-warmhearted Akihi—fair in saving themselves from being destroyed (because of a pickle they knowingly placed themselves in -_-’ ) or will the girls end up paying dearly for their offence…? —Quick! There isn’t much time left! ‘He’s’ already here, so link yourself and make ready as “the fierce battle of the muddled kitchen” commences! Got your UpGREY’d yet…? Then, get going!!

Sticking to my word—and rewarding your patience—I give to you, dear readers, links 4 AND 5; thus quickly tying up for you Knot 0.5!!! All I’m allowing my fingers to feverishly type is that this GREY’t chapter (as dubbed last week) will not only bring about the end of Knot 0.5, but, also, an end to a life; thus revealing the twins’ fate against the vicious Tsukumogami! However, a truly last minute interruption, which literally falls from the sky, may well lead to the demise of ALL individuals present! Make sure you link yourself to this grand finale before the curtains to the SLATE GREY series finally open! …all in the name of criticism/Unity!! Next week, then, when Knot 01: “The Indigo Rope of Unity That Will Bind Ignorance! Let The First Knot Be Tied!”…starts it all, again!! Get upGREY’ded!!

Belive it or not, I had absolutely no idea that this weekend was Easter -_-' So, seeing as everyone is celebrating the egg hunting of miss ishter, Link 4 will NOT be posted this week. However, it will be posted along with Link 5 as a GREY't chapter (a chapter that exceeds 1500 words ^^) which marks the completion of the first chapter, Knot 0.5 \^_^/ ! Now that you, the reader, have a single Knot to enjoy from start to end, hopefully a few more comments will be posted, for the following week will officially open the series' curtains with the first Link of Knot 1! Hope you're ready to meet everyone^^!!! Until the next upGREY'd^^!!! Ossu!!!

This week brings to you, valued reader, the third Link of Knot (chapter) 0.5! Last week—despite all their efforts—the siblings faced crushing failure. While her brother’s rashness resulted in critical harm, the girl was left succumbed to the authority of the “Hexagonal Barrier of Emotional Synchronization”. And, if things weren’t doomed enough, the Tsukumogami had awoken—craving the blood of vengeance! Now, as two becomes three trapped within the massive barrier, the only way the siblings have to escape this supernatural entity hell-bent on manslaughter may well be…their very lives…

“*wow*…I am always seeking literature that is of Asian origin or Asian inspired especially since the discovery of light novels and to my surprise after many encounters on wattpad can I really say I found something that is so satisfactory and creating a new craving!!! The authors profile on the outset provides such an enthusiastic approach and u seem to wonder if it lives up but…*AMAZING*!!!!!!!!!!!! The reading experience was none to compare to… I have been taken on such a journey of feel within such a few pages…it has me reeling for more!!! The story already has such a unique feel with impressive imagery and emotion that you feel in sync with the story…awaiting impatiently for link 2!!! Excited much about slate=grey ^_^!!!!”

For those wondering, the "Tsukuda Acceptance Form" and Preparatory Lessons" have been included to ease you into the world of Slate Grey. More lessons will be added as the anticipation for the series grows. Please make sure you give them a read before delving into the Links. Much appreciated
