Hey folks,

I know it's been like more than two weeks since I did anything.  I am very sorry for the delays.  In fact, I'll just confess.  I am sorry that [u]I just simply lost inspiration for this[/u].  The build up was amazing, and the hype was real.  I didn't expect this many people to even sign up for it, and at the same time, I didn't expect many to stick around.  Work and school is something I can deal with, but in all my years, I never found a cure for any syndrome of writer's block and depression.  In my case, it's something more complicated:  I am more inspired to write about [i]another[/i] fan-based roleplay, and it's blocking out whatever ideas I had for this one.  It's almost becoming an unwanted obsession, and the longer I ignore it for the sake of continuing this roleplay, the more painful it becomes to fulfill obligations I have for you all.  I can't do that you guys anymore.  You deserve better than that.  Is it over for the Brotherhood?  [i]Not really[/i].  This will stay alive as long as I have people participating, even if it means having an agonizing, but meaningful post rate of once a month (ouch).  My goal for this is to have a Brotherhood story that parallels every SAO anime arc until Gun Gale Online.  And while I do have some plot devices in mind to help connect each one, what excited me more was wondering how you all would evolve your characters had we gone through the continuing anime arcs.  Would everyone survive?  Would you introduce another character?  Who are the players behind the avatars(that I am really interested in)?  I can go on and weep about what could have been, but as someone who tries to put a bit of my faith in everything that I do, I will remain hopeful.  We might never see a finished set of stories.  I'm not exactly consistent on things.  That being said, don't be alarmed if for some reason I decided to time skip and bring us to the ALO arc, and have you all rely on impromptu flashbacks on what transpired since (fair warning).  

For those of you who don't me yet, I am full of surprises and disappointments.  I have never been successful on my own, there were always people to support me and help carry a roleplay.  I am sorry if this upsets any of you, really I am.  If you're not too angry, if you want to know what I will work on now that I have unburdened myself, I'll leave it at this:

I have [i]keys[/i] to collect, [i]doors[/i] to open, [i]worlds[/i] to save, and a [i]Kingdom[/i] filled with [i]hearts[/i] longing to be set ablaze.     


THANKS!
