Howdy. I said everything I needed to about the Panic! split in my last post…except that I wanted to add something new I just found out, which is that Brendon and Spencer are re-instating the exclamation point (hell yes) and they have a clip of a new song up on their new official website, panicatthedisco.com. It sounds like they’ve brought back at least a little of that electronic flair they had before, which is awesome.

Moving on to the main topic of this post, which is to address my story, Waxen Bones. I’m sure a few of you have noticed that I haven’t updated in a pathetically long time. And I’m afraid to see there might not ever be an update. There are lots of reasons for this…the main one being that I’ve completely lost inspiration for the story and with it, the desire to finish it. I wrote about half of a tentative chapter ten and then scrapped it, and there was a brief little freak-out where I decided I hated the story and everything about it. I got over it, but I still have very little desire to continue it. And more, I kind of want to take a step back from fan fiction and bandom all together. That’s not to say I won’t ever write it again, because that would be stupid. Sometimes you just can’t help yourself, or you get the itch, and something just needs to be written. But I really want to get more serious about all the original fiction I’ve written, and center my focus more on that. Fan fiction is too distracting right now. Again, this is not to say I am completely abandoning it. But from now on, any fic I post here will most likely be one-shots or drabbles and such. I have a really big, original story in my head that I’ve finally gotten straight and am now trying to outline and profile, but it will probably be a while before there is a legitimate first chapter. If you guys are interested, I’ll keep updates on my journal.

Of course, I feel really awful for abandoning Waxen Bones. I was really in love with that story for a while and I know there are a few of you who were following it and wanted to see the end. So as a sort of apology-gift, I’ve made two soundtracks. One contains all the songs mentioned in the story thus far, and the other is a more accurate soundtrack containing songs that were not mentioned, but sort of chronicle the story.

And after you’ve given the songs a good listen, I’d love for you to swing back over here and let me know what you think. Talking about music is pretty much my favorite thing ever, so. If you would.

So yeah folks, I am really am super, super sorry for not finishing the story! I fail. However, you did get a bit of free music out of it. Which probably is still not enough, but perhaps it eased the failage a teeny bit.

If the soundtrack downloads don’t work, please let me know and I’ll try my best to fix it.
