All righty, well, now that the month from HELL is drawing to a close…
It extended so far beyond the death of a close family friend and seems to evolved like a Pokemon on crack into personal relationship problems, domestic problems, and financial problems.
However, as convention season rolls in, I think it may finally be dying down. That said, I will try very very hard to write and continue the next chapter very soon. Sorry you had to wait this long.
And, if you can spare anything and you have it in your heart, I could really use some financial help. My dream would be to do ParaTivity full time and I always have hoped someday I would realize it, but in the meantime, I just have to ask nicely. 
Don’t worry about pleasing the fans with updates. Remember you do this for free. I just enjoy reading your brillant comic. I hope you’re able to sort out your problems.
As FlareD said, don’t worry about pleasing the fans. Just make sure you’re okay. I hope things start working out better for you. :<
