NEWS! Tldr, I'm working on a new story with a smaller scope because, if I'm being completely honest, Run Cried the Crawling is a big bite for me to chew right now. It's my first attempt at IF and really my first piece of writing ever shared (online or otherwise.)
I want to make it clear that it is not abandoned!! But it will be put on pause while I work on Tether, and gain the skills and confidence I desperately need to finish this project.
If you're interested in Tether, it will be up on my page very shortly. I hope to make updates a bit more regular with it, something semi-scheduled.
Thank you everyone for the love you've shown this story. It means the world to have people delve into the depths of the Thicket with me.
