Yeah, I'm evil =) *cackle* Well, this short letter is in response to my `plea' at the end of chapter 48. The one where I asked if it was getting to boring and whatnot... Well, the response was *outrageous*. I got more letters this time than when I killed off Stephen's mother. And the great thing was that y'all (Yes, I know I'm not from the South, but it's Dixie Chicks weekend on CMT and I'm just getting into the mood), thought MSR is still great and not boring. Thank y'all for your tremendous response, and to be use the title of Chapter 48, I didn't know you cared so much about MSR. It warms my heart to know that you do--it really, really does. A lot of you have sent me emails, and I still haven't answered you yet. Blame the weather, the presidential election, pure laziness, the demands of a 6 course, 17 hour school schedule and the crazy bitch art teacher I have. I *promise* (swear on Lance's package!) that if you haven't gotten a response email from me, you will soon enough. As for MSR and when the next update is going to be, I'm doing my best for a late December, early January and from then on the updates should be much quicker than normal (only 4 classes and 12 hours! Then I graduate...yay.) The update should coincide with my website's (Sweetheart Stories-- http://sweetheart.homepage.com), move to a new server (new layout, the works, blah blah blah--version 3.0 coming soon) And if you've made it this far, and want to know what's coming next in MSR? Well, I've decided that Chapter 49 will be split into parts 1 and 2, closing up and tying up all the loose ends of part 2 (The Better to Dream of You) which leads us onto Part 3, "People Change". And then that's it. That's all I can give away without giving away the entire story. And so there you have it poodles. The only "teaser" email that MSR is ever going to have =) Happy holidays and thank you so much for your support!!!! Gabriella P.S. If you happen to be on the mailing list for Sweetheart Stories and you're reading this, look out for the Christmas Lansh Card that I'm sending in the next week or so =)
