Chao- The new filter feature they added--wow!
Agent Daisy- (prepares tranquilizer darts)
YChao- Why are you so excited? You were totally confused first looking at it.
Chao- It's just so odd; users can filter as they normally do, but now the website as added an Exception feature. Know what that means?!
Agent Daisy- (shrugs)
YChao- You can remove Romance?
Chao- Yep!
Agent Daisy- (blows party favor noise maker)
YChao- Pardon me for the cliché, but I do love to rain on your parade--
Chao- As someone who lives in the desert, it's always awesome when it rains! (gets blown away by monsoon)
Agent Daisy- (grabs rope) (lassoes Chao back)
Chao- Chao could fly!
YChao- Anyway, as I was saying, your idea doesn't work perfectly. There could still be pairings within the story with the authors seeing their stories falling more under different categories.
Chao- That is true.
YChao- And you probably won't see much in your direction.
Chao- Meh, that's ok. At least the website people are thinking about their users.
YChao- Is this really what you wanted to talk about for your weekly update?
Chao- Yes and no.
Agent Daisy- (prepares tranquilizer darts again)
Chao- There are some other things prepared, but they are planned to be published later. This was just something so exciting and stunning that Chao HAD to talk about.
YChao- You are one crazy author/blog writer.
Chao- Ok, random people who stop by, that's all for this month! Hope to see you in August! (gets blown away by monsoon again) AAAHHH!!!

...Are We Supposed to Reply to Reviews?
Chao- You know, FF.net placed in the ability to reply to reviews in what feels not too long ago. And though some people can start off great conversations, some users just give their thanks for the kind words. But... are we supposed to reply to people who leave reviews? Is that some sort of common courtesy? Or is this more like a social obligation?
YChao- It could just be users' preferences. What problems do you have with this?
Chao- What if people do get a reply from their review? Are authors supposed to respond to this reply and then have the reader respond back? And then do we reply back? When will it end?!
Agent Daisy- (pours bucket of cold water on Chao)
Chao- Ah! Cold!
YChao- You worry too much.
Chao- But this is a legit concern!
YChao- How so?
Chao- Are people upset when authors don't reply to their reviews? Chao only does so to explain something if a reviewer has asked a question. But is it rude to NOT reply to someone?
YChao- Maybe? Giving a person a thanks for leaving a review would be more of a common courtesy. Wouldn't it show that you're grateful that they took the time to leave you words that your crave for? Whether it be kind words or brave constructive criticism?
Chao- ...What is this "kindness" you speak about?
YChao- Are you really going down that route?
Chao- Hey! Random people who stop by this blog! What do you think?

Updates for July
Chao- Been typing like crazy for different stories since Chao will be very busy in late August when school starts. But until then, here are the updates for this summer month. If something has not been finished and is not mentioned here, consider the story to still be on hiatus.
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Hope you all have been enjoying the new chapters for "Offspring of Heroes"! The story is just about done. The promised sequel to "Present with You Always" is in progress and will hopefully debut in August. A few one shots may also get published this month.
Phineas and Ferb: No current news at this time.
Chao- Missed a few new episodes. Maybe in August Chao will find time to watch them and allow the flow of creativity and inspiration to come by. Chao will also find time to finish "The Value of a Smile" and "The Mysterious Book" after a few other promised stories have been published/completed.
Cats Don't Dance: Been trying to get a few one shots completed. No news about the future chapter fic at this time.
Chao- It's not so bad finding time to write once you get it down in a routine. Chao finds it easiest to write in the early morning since most people are asleep and Chao can get some writing done. But it's also easier since there's no school and homework to worry about!
