Will I ever update a story again? · 4:04pm Nov 6th, 2013
Hello everyone. It’s been four months since my last blog update and is closing in on a year since I made an update to anything that wasn’t the 550 Word Challenge (thank you Writers Group for at least keeping me a little active.) It’s not exactly that I’ve become completely lazy in regards to my fic writing but more so that my attention has been focused elsewhere. Since I started Let’s Playing, I’ve spent a lot of time researching, taking notes, and practicing various games because I have an obsessive desire to play them to the best of my abilities with as much knowledge as possible. As a result, my time for writing has suffered substantially. I didn’t even participate in this year’s National Pony Writing Month, which disappoints me to no end.
At this point, I want to formally announce the official cancellation of one of my fics, The Manly Man Way, as I have no desire to return to that fic. Some of you may remember long ago when I wrote an apology letter for how bad that fic was and still is, as I haven’t changed a thing. It was an amusing idea at the time but it no longer seems that way even though I do have other parts of that fic written which will now never see the light of day unless I do a blog showing my notes and what have you on it I suppose.
This still leaves me with four unfinished fics. One of those fics is Night of Harvest, which I wanted to finish for Halloween this year but obviously didn’t. Truth be told, I’ve changed my mind on the ending to that fic and currently don’t have one. Without the ending, the rest of the story just seems like a random occurrence and that wouldn’t do at all. I’m debating canceling that as a result since I’ve lost sight of the ending but as of this time, it still remains in hiatus status.
My other three fics, I absolutely want to finish. I really should work on Cheer One More Time as it at least has a foothold in EQD and I promised to finish that one nearly two years ago now. Unfortunately, I’m not entirely sure on a lot of the middle portions of it, even though I know where I want it to go ultimately.
Spiral would be a more obvious choice to work on and finish as I have a lot of that written already. I currently have 18,081 words posted but I have a total of 56,507 words written for that story as a whole already. I have at least a small or large portion of every chapter in the story written including the ending. The story currently spans 19 chapters but only the two I’ve posted are fully complete. However, I do want to do a slight rewrite here to change Twilight to Princess Twilight, since that wouldn’t be very difficult to implement (the story does take place ten years in the future).
The last story is another one I really want to get back to, my Celebrity Deathmatch crossover, which has surprisingly been encouraged to be finished by more than one person over on my Fanfiction.net account. That one I already know exactly what I want to happen and exactly how many chapters (9, which just makes 6 more I need to finish).
Overall, I don’t know or rather can’t promise that I’ll ultimately do anything, though it would kill me to cancel what I have left. I should say I can’t guarantee how soon I’ll work on them but I must. If I don’t by next month you have my permission to send messages to me everyday telling me I should be working on writing too, not just Let’s Plays.
Thank you all for reading, commenting, watching, and favoriting. I always appreciate it even if I don’t send a message saying so.

It's ok bro. I must say your LPs are great. I have yet to get back to my 'mlp rpg: the elements of harmony' since I had to restart at about the third dungeon. Why? I had to switch to this computer because that one is completely dead. As for PF6 I have to as well and I was about to enter discord's lair and the thing with the other game. As for your fics its all good. It's not like its the end of the world or anything ... right? Keep doing what you do bro! Also I have a game suggestion for an LP but the modded version isn't done yet so I can't say what it is yet. When its done I'll bring it up and link you to it. I must warn you it is in fact another RPG but it is NOT 8bit graphic kind. That is all. Love ya broski!

Not 8-bit graphics but an RPG. You realize that dosen't narrow it down much.
Anyway, thanks for the support and encouragment.

Who said it was suppose to narrow it down? If I wanted to narrow it down I would tell you its orignal game was on the 64. It's modded so it runs on the computer as a rom. Again its currently being done up. They have alot of coding to undo and replace and redo. That's characters, text, battle sprites, normal sprites, items, command screen, battle music, mane menu, equipment, abilities, badges, level up screen, and much more. I know most have all of this involved but because of what game it is it will take awhile.
P.S. yes I did hint at what game it is but you haven't noticed it yet.
Master Tomberry sends his support as well.
That's fine, I've been working on cleaning it but I haven't updated my very popular fic on fanfiction.

I wasn't really expecting you to have narrowed it down, I just wanted to use the facehoof emoticon. On the 64... outside of Quest 64 and another game I forget the title of which may rank among the worst RPG's I've ever played, badge only leads me to think of Paper Mario. Haven't played that one in years.

You got it. It's a modded version though and they still have it being made. I'll link you to see their current stuff though. They don't update alot sadly and it should of been done quite a while back.

Kind of reminds me of that Ponymon mod. They did a whole bunch of stuff for it and then suddenly did nothing for almost a year (which currently continues). I think I remember hearing about the paper mario mod somewhere before but I could just be mis-remembering.

When I saw this I wanted to play the first one real bad so I bought it up on the wii store and played it silly and found a BUNCH of tricks for no damage from enemies. For example the crystal king boss. 1 defend+ badge and the 2 focus badges and you can do that battle with 0 damage and only have to attack him with the goomba partner. He apparently doesn't use blizzard until a certain point in his hp. Same with the cloning attacks. With all of this he is now one of the hardest bosses to the flat out easiest boss.
