Hi all, another quick update.
          	Won't be able to post anything for the next couple of weeks as, for once, I will be going on a holiday that is actually a holiday and not travelling for work. Next update not likely to be posted before September 28th at the earliest, but chapter 98 of Hold On went up just now!

If you don't mind me asking, do you take any requests for fics? I know you are currently working on Hold On ('Til The Getting's Good), but I had an idea for a fic and thought if anyone can do it justice it would be you. If not, that is completely understandable. 
          
          I also wanted to say thank you for all your hard work that you've put in over the years for the Shourtney fandom. Your stories have definitely helped me through many a tough times!

In a solid sign that I should never give distant timelines publicly, I will just have to give a quick update that Hold On update may still be a little further away than indicated (maybe late June) - albeit, on the other hand, speed-wrote a oneshot yesterday and if I can find the time to edit it, hoping it will be posted within a couple of days.
          
          Just a bit more restricted from jumping back into a bigger project like Hold On, however, as my grandmother passed away a couple of days ago, and while it was not unexpected, it does mean I need to spend a bit more time with family and helping with arrangements.

@deptofweirdsounds I can't imagine how busy you must be, with the YouTube compilations and trying to keep Hold On updated. You write so beautifully, that it must take a lot of your time. I will keep waiting as long as you need, and occupy myself with rereading the one shots and Milkshake Hearts.

Hi all, just a quick update/apology. Holding On will definitely be back! I still plan to finish it. I’m sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. I’ve been in a surge period at work and that involves lots of writing for work, so I’m less inclined to write outside work. But that’s over, I’m about to spend a lot of hours on planes flying to another continent for a much needed break, and I’m hoping that means writing time and enough writing that I can commit to a regular posting schedule again when I get home. 
          
          It could be a few weeks, and I’m not going to say a specific date until I start wiring again- but before mid-June it will be back.

Well, yep, the shipped couple is now… a real, married couple. I will just put out a reminder that this news doesn’t change my rule that shipping content is still fictional, including my fics, and should be kept away from the actual people.
          
          That being said, yep, I’m aware I… wrote this, or something like it, a few times. Any similarities to real life are purely accidental and probably a result of me just writing WAY TOO MUCH.
          
          On that note - I’m sorry Hold On hasn’t been updated regularly again. I’m hoping I’ll have the time soon to get back to it, because that’s definitely still happening.
          
          And if you happen to watch my Shourtney stuff on YouTube too, I guess that channel has become a little more active again too. Although mostly from a sudden influx of comments on old videos about things that suddenly make a lot more sense.

You were actually the first person I thought about when I heard the news!

I just recently started reading Shourtney fanfic, but I have enjoyed your YouTube compilations very much. You have written some wonderful fics, but I must say "Safe" and "Break" had being crying the whole time I was reading them. I was so sorry to hear about your friend. I hope you keep up your writing. You have told some wonderful stories and you write beautifully. I have watched your compilations so many times, I have lost count. Take care of yourself and I look forward to anything new you write or put on YouTube.

Hi all. A quick update.
          
          I'm sorry it's been so long. I hoped I would be back sooner, but my friend's death has turned my life upside down in a lot of ways. She had been one of my closest friends and I had talked to her almost every day since I met her more than 17 years ago.
          
          I hadn't opened my Hold On document since the last day I posted. But, finally, I have opened my document and written a bit. I'm going to keep trying to write what and when I can, and I hope start posting again late this week. My posting might be a bit sporadic initially, but I'll get there. This story is still floating around in my head and I'm still going to finish it.
          
          (Edit from yesterday to correct details)

Hi everyone.
          
          Trigger warning: DV, death
          
          One of my best friends was killed by a partner she was in the process of leaving - she had been in a coma since the weekend, and passed last night. It's a really difficult time for me. My fic will be on hiatus for a while now. I do not know when I'll be back but hope I will find the ability to go back to life and hobbies instead of empty sadness within whatever a reasonable time frame is, and I'll be back to keep Hold On going then.

@deptofweirdsounds I'm so sorry for your loss :( Take all the time you need to process this and to allow yourself to grieve

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sorry for not responding sooner. I haven’t lost anyone that violently but I have lost people I cared about from cancer. I hope you recover and regain joy of hobbies and life. To tell you the truth I am always surprised to remember that I have lived past the age of twenty five. I had never intended to live past that age but now I realize that my outlook has changed for the better.
