Excessive Use of Cliffhangers, NaNoWriMo and Possibly Some Other Sutff

I've got a few things I want to address in this post, but I don't really have the energy to string them together properly, so you'll have to excuse the lack of flowing points here.

Anyway, firstly (despite the order in the title), I'll talk about NaNoWriMo.
Yeah, I'm entering again this year, but not really in the conventional way as such. For now, the subject of it will remain undisclosed to everyone. I'm predicting that you'll be happy with the end result though. Yes you will. Regardless of this, it'll also mean that I'll have less time to be doing other stuff - primarily other writing and emailing. Just a heads up.

Next is BFB and cliffhangers.
You will hopefully have noticed by now that BFB was never really meant to be taken seriously as a proper novel. The whole story continues based on the presumption that people know who characters are, know what the creatures are, and pretty much are aware of what goes on. It will only ever be for Bloglandians to read, and as such, I don't plan on really putting any effort into explaining things to people who have not been apart of that before. It was always just for you guys, which brings me to the cliffhangers point of this bit.
Considering it was only ever for you guys, this also means all it is is pretty much just fan service. Which is also why every chapter of BFB has so far ended on a cliffhanger expect for two or so. It's meant to be engaging for you people rather than something that would actually have the appeal of something that would be in the stores.
I know that some of you would have already realised this, and some of you wouldn't care about it to begin with, but that's just something that I've felt needs clearing up for a while, and now it is. So yeah.

Also, because of NaNo and exams looming over me for next month, I'm going to finish up this whole Town plot of BFB within the next two or so chapters before November. After that, it'll go on another hiatus until December-ish.

And it appears I've not thought of any 'other sutff' to talk about, so that's it.
