Hello, everyone! This is the cover to Chapter 8! I posted it a day early because I’ll be traveling tomorrow for a week, and I wanted to be around for this announcement.

As you may have noticed, I’ve been struggling to finish updates over the past few months. This is because I have officially burned out on drawing Saint for Rent pages.

This story has been taking a serious emotional toll on me. It’s hard to write, takes up a LOT of my time, and in the most practical of terms, I don’t make much money from it. I’ve been trying, but I just can’t afford to keep working on it anymore, guys. I feel like I’m grasping at straws.

You guys have been great! Thank you for your patience through the site redesigns and your enthusiasm for the Time Travel plot twists. I absolutely love the dialogue that has flourished recently in the comments section. I wish I could join in, but we’re at the point where anything I say can be spoilers! So… I’m genuinely sad to find now to be my breaking point. :(

So, here’s what I’m going to do. It’s been a great five years, but I’m going to take a break from SfR updates for a year to work on NewsPrints and other projects. We’ll see how I feel next April.

Naturally, you can still keep up with me on TWITTER, TUMBLR, and INSTAGRAM. Any news or drawing of SfR will usually go up there first. I’ll also continue with my monthly PATREON sketchbooks.

And of course, you’re free to reread SfR as often as you’d like! The site will still be up! I wanted to leave you with Chapter 8’s cover because it’s cute and light, and you guys deserve that after sticking through with Professor Halliday’s introduction. xD

Take care, my dear guests, and thank you for visiting the CloverHouse on your journey!
