This was LONG over due

*coughs and swipes away the cobwebs*

Wow, so it's been a while. A long while actually. And for that, we are both equally sorry. I know, we've told you that real life was being a shit head to us and we weren't joking.

A year ago it seemed like my (K) life was getting better while Robs went to shit. And now, I can finally talk to you guys about it.

What happened last december (some of you know this) is I got married. Yep me and jasperstolemygirlfriend/the voice behind alsper on twitter/bunneh/Mr. K/Chris got married. We took the plunge. And while I wish there was a way to include everyone (including our readers!), I was also happy with the small intimate gathering.

While I was getting married off, Our loving beta Amber was gravely ill. So much so that Robs and I feared the worst. Thankfully, she has seem to be recovering. It's a slow process but she's a fighter and coming back to us :)

But the biggest thing, the worst thing that happened to the dynamic duo... Robs found out that her husband of five years wanted out.

Sucks right? A wedding and a divorce all in like a 24 hour period.

That's why we went into hiding like we did. Robs was devestated, I was furious and Amber was sleeping (lol it sounds funny when I put it that way, but it was doctors orders!). We all came to a decision that the best thing we could do was focus on ourselves for a minute.

And that's what we have done.

I finally moved out of my in-laws house, focused on school and will be graduating in the beginning of 2012.

Robs, despite her divorce which left her homeless and unemployed; has managed to not only survive for her daughter but herself. Has a bomb ass job, and has plans to be in her own place soon.

Don't believe me? Hear/see it from the horse's mouth (so to speak cause Robs is not a horse. Js)

Hey guys!

I just wanted to apologize for being away for so long, it's still gonna be a bit, just til I get into my own place, which looks like mid Jan at this point. I'm sorry for letting everyone down, my life fell apart and those of you that are still around, I want to thank you... You all are amazing.

And if you hate me for my shit falling apart well then I don't know what to tell you.
I love you all, and repeat after me!

Just breathe and let it be.

♥ Robs

See! So here it is, a semi official announcement:

We are NOT abandoning Dangerous Beauty or More Than Friends
We WILL be continuing them as soon as Robs gets her new place
We are eternally sorry for dropping off the face of the planet
And we look forward to the new year!

Remember, a new year = new updates!

Hope this clears this up for you. Remember you can ask us anything via twitter (@alsper) or on our tumblrs!

Thank you again for your patience and understanding. You have no idea how grateful we are towards everyone of you!

Love us still?



Hi all!

So I (K) felt y'all needed a bit of an explanation. MTF was not updated this past week for several reasons. 1 - I went on a family holiday, 2 - Robs has no internet access and 3 - it's the last written and beta'd chapter.

As you know Robs and I partake in NaNoWriMo. So I'm sure those of you who were around last year and saw us partake in the madness, knows that we usually go on a temp hiatus for the month of November.

Unfortunately, we didn't account for my 16 year old cousin to get pregnant and be ready to pop any time now, for our wonderful beta Amber to get sick, or Robs' internet to be a hoor. So as of now, both MTF and DB are on a hiatus. NOT because of Nano, But because of REAL LIFE kicking the shit out of us and drowning us to the point that we can't breathe.

We are NOT abandoning you or our fics. We WILL continue them as soon as possible. All we ask is that you remain patient and we promise to have something for you soon.

Serious Business time with K and Robs

Hi guys,

So take a seat, y'all know how I get when there's something important or whatever that needs to be said. Don't worry, I can wait. *sits patiently*

Ready? Okay... here goes.

As some of you may or may not know. Robs and I are getting our asses handed to us once again with real life. But that's to be expected when your full time job is either wife/mother or college student. Life is gonna get hectic and the muse will be quiet, so to speak.

But it's not just affecting us. It's affecting an integral part of the Alsper team. Our beta Amber.

Anyone who has met this lady, knows of her pervy mind and ability to make the sun shine in anyone's darkest day. She has been a complete supporter of our works and a true blessing to us as not only our beta but our friend sister as well.

Right now, Amber needs the help of her friends and this fandom. She needs your prayers and positive thoughts as she faces something that is becoming a devastating blow to her. I won't go into detail as to what is going on, but please know that Robs and I aren't the kind to just say "hey she can't deal with her oldest dating, pray for her" (God, I hope her oldest isn't dating yet o.O).

Why does this affect our muse? Because for the Pisces that Robs and I are, family comes first. Amber is our family, only better, because we got to choose her, and for some reason she loves our brand of crazy.

This is why there is no More Than Friends update this week. While yes, we have it written, it's not ready for the public.

Please don't mistake this as a cop-out on our half. It's not. While we may seem like we aren't working on More Than Friends or even Dangerous Beauty, we are. As well as a few other ones that you've all had glimpses of through our witfits.

As soon as Chapter 23 and Chapter 4 of MTF and DB, respectively, are ready, we will post it. Until then, we hope you enjoy the outtakes and one shot's you're receiving.

Thank you



K & Robs

And of course obligatory Jackson gif Just to make Amber giggle :)
