Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond (and within) my control, the next chapter is delayed slightly. I have been writing it but I've found myself writing two chapters in tandem this time. Had I been focused on only one, it would have been done by now- but my outline has changed because of some reader input. I took the advice of a non-FiM reader to alter a part in a future chapter and it must be setup properly starting... well, now.

This has also produced some unexpected results in how long this story will be. Crud. If anyone is following the story, the plot line is centered around the seven day trip. The idea was to end the story shortly after so it wouldn't become a novel! *grumble* Looks like it will be longer than originally drawn to be which doesn't mean anything bad. I just don't want to leave any loose ends by the time "X" happens!
