{Editing to include reason for post. Previously there were an individual that had posted compliments to the OP within the last 24 hours of my post here. I responded to a question of theirs, and pointed out to, specifically, future well wishers that doing the same had concern to being construed thread bumping. }
Given the disappearance since their medical issues, and financial kerfuffle... Despite them still being an active member of the board, they seem to have lost all inspiration. So, I wouldn't expect any update anytime soon, much less this, or the next, decade. It's a bummer, but the loss of muse has hit Ace before. And it took nearly a decade before they wrote anything again. So... yeah.
To future readers, please, just PM Ace your enjoyment. This thread has been inactive for so long that even if Ace suddenly got their muse back right now, it won't be used to finish/add to this. Ace has well and truly lost their place in the plot, and like every other time they did, they just move on to the next. So, please, let a dead thread lie; because at this point, further well wishing/congratulations, in thread, would just be thread bumping.
