Author's Note: A huge thank you to BitterEloquence for helping me get over my writer's block with this fic and giving it the once over. Without her, this story would still be collecting virtual dust at the bottom of my laptop.

Author's Note, Part 2: This story is an immediate sequel to "Take a Chance on Me" and makes mention of "Bad Day".

A/N: This fic was originally intended to be a short little piece, but now it won’t end. It’s developed into a cast of thousands (okay 12) and gone to epic proportions (actually only 13 pages so far). Once it’s all done I’ll post the whole thing on the Cell and at fanfic_100 once it’s completely done and all the kinks are ironed out. Part 1 is posted here and Part 2 is here.

This is a little buny that picking at the back of my brain ... I think I know where it's going, so I'll happily follow it along.

A/N: I kept the word 'sitch' in, because I couldn't bring myself to write "What's Up Doc?"

Well, Metamorphosis is progressing nicely. I've finally figured out where Chapter 10 is going, which is nice seeing as I have to post it next Wednesday if I'm going to keep on schedule.

I have found myself questioning the organization of the story, however. I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off writing three seperate stories rather than seperating the chapters as I am. ... Maybe I'm not giving my readers enough credit. I think the problem is that I am not getting any feedback on the new chapters and the hit count has dropped dramatically, so I'm a concerned that I'm loosing my readers. Admitedly, I am planning on having two of the three branches come together in the next ten chapters. Maybe that will make a difference.

Ah well, I'll keep an eye on things and make a decision later.

As for Life After Death, that baby is back on the rails. The boys still have to make their escape attempt and Eltara has some tricks in her packs, but it's coming along nicely. I'm hoping that I'll be able to give Tandor some more air time. He really is quite clever and dangerous, just a little spineless whenm it comes to his Captain and twu wuv. There's a lot that I want to cover before the boys get out of this.

And Donatello and Raphael are refusing to talk to me about Return to Darkness, so that's at a bit of a standstill. All I've been able to put down is that it takes place while Leo is in Japan, so I won't have to write him (I've always had problems writing his character properly).

Nothing is really coming to me from Smokescreen (I think he's angry at me for sticking him in Life After Death), though I do have a plot bunny for Daring Smokescreen, but it's a deathfic and I don't know if I want to write it. And lastly, I'm stuck on Vingettes and the mecha_erotica December Challenge is just a nugget so far.

... You know, after writing this, I know what my problem is. Oversaturation ... I really need to cage these bunnies and get them sorted out ...
