    If I proofread for you, this is important

    When I first started proofreading, I was always extremely excited when I got a message. (Shout out to you, Haseo :D) I always felt happy to help anyone, especially if it concerned ponies.

    PONIES!

    New story! What?!

    Yep. Unless something tragic occurs, (like me dying) I'm going to put out another story. I'm not too sure about the tags at this point, but it will be called Pestilence : A Changeling's Journey Through Time. I'm gong to finish the entire thing before uploading chapters in the hope that the plot actually forms how I want it to. I also plan to do my own cover-art for it because I LEIK

    Fighting is Magic...

    As you guys most likely know, Mane6's baby MLP: Fighting is Magic has been shut down by Hasbro. I'm sure that some of you share my sad feelings. I mean, I was really looking forward to it! But they did see this coming at some point. It got way too much attention for Hasbro to ignore. The Cease and Desist letter written by Hasbro's team of lawyers shuts down any use of the characters, art, and

    Did anyone else know about this?!

    A group of people are making a documentary on bronies. Really, a full-length film that will be sold. It's awesome!

If I proofread for you, this is important · 12:26am Nov 7th, 2013

When I first started proofreading, I was always extremely excited when I got a message. (Shout out to you, Haseo :D) I always felt happy to help anyone, especially if it concerned ponies.

PONIES!

But this is how it is now. I'm sure that all of you have noticed a decline, if not a complete halt, in my work speed. There are two reasons for this... The first one not exactly something I'm proud of.

Today... When I get a message with a proofreading request, I sigh... I've gotten to the point where I dread proofreading. This has absolutely nothing to do with any of you; frankly, these are great stories, and you're all great people. Trust me, I really don't like how I view proofread requests. I'd much rather be able to look at them and feel excited again. I hate this, I really do.

The problem is that I start up my computer, hoping to get shit done, but that small Steam icon calls my name... I can't resist its siren's call. Frankly, no one should have to deal with my bullshit. You're all waiting patiently for me to do something that will never get done. It kills me inside to know that I have to proofread, but it kills me twice knowing I can't get myself to proofread. None of you deserve this...

Also, this one important, I have to shift my priorities...
I started proofreading in the summer: no school, no problems. When school came, it got harder, and I saw this coming before school started. My priorities have to be there, not here. Even though I love you guys, I have to shift my priorities to my schoolwork. Then again, proofreading was simply shoved in the back seat - no, not even the back seat - past the back seat, through the back window, and under the car behind me.

My only solution short of giving up is to take a break. I'll be gone as long as it takes. That's it.

Am I done with Fimfiction? Of course not! I'll still be here; I just wont be PR'ing. You guys can always message me, and I'd be happy to respond and stuff. I may still write (though that was never high on my list also).

Haseo, I've known you for a while. I hope to return back soon, but it probably won't be soon. It could be well until December.
Kapuchu, man, I'll read your ridiculously long second part to your story... Oh, and, the same applies to you. :P

Alright, since I know that you've waited for me to finish your stuff, I'll do one more chapter for each of you. It's the least I can do to make up for my bullshit.

I'm going to take a break until my bullshit stops. I hope I get back soon, I really do.

I am legitimately sad to see this :fluttershysad: but at least you're honest and give us a shout-out instead of just mysteriously disappearing like some other people do. *Looks pointedly at some guy in the distance*

I'm sad to see you go as you were a nice guy and easy to talk too... Anywho, I'll be here if you need to rant at someone, and I'll be looking forward to see how much you manage to shit on my "second part" of my story :derpytongue2: And it isn't that long... It's about the length of some stories' chapters... :rainbowwild:

Yeah, the story chapters of Background Pony. :unsuresweetie: And I wont be gone; never! I simply won't be proofreading. And besides, you can always rant to me too! :raritywink: Uh... I have homework to do... This is ironic...

It isn't that long... :rainbowlaugh: Only twenty seven pages and 12.555 words... :derpytongue2:
