Hi, real quick message before the episode.

First, I want to say thank you so much for listening.

This summer was a challenging one, and I found myself with less time than I thought for

work.

I had to make choices regarding what to focus on, and unfortunately, fictional was one of those

shows that I had to put on hold.

It was one without firm obligations already in place, and when you have a team of people

on other shows waiting for you to get stuff done, it gets difficult to justify projects

that are simply for fun.

But an obligation to you all and need to stay true to my word means something as well,

so I'm very sorry to take so long getting back to fictional.

Again, I really appreciate everyone who reached out with the curious support as to when

the episodes were coming out over email, Twitter, and various reviews, and I'm sorry to

the people I disappointed who are waiting for the episodes and voice that displeasure.

There is an upside though.

Now that we have more time, there doesn't need to be a finale to the season fictional yet.

I love this show, I love writing it, and I connect with the stories emotionally sometimes

even more than myths and legends.

So as long as I can help it, this show isn't going anywhere.

Sometimes circumstances arise where we'll have to take a break, but I will be more communicative

about that in the future, and more realistic with my timelines.

Thank you again so much for listening.
