I primarily make YouTube videos, but I like to write too. This is where my pony writing goes. Typically adventure or dark, lots of OCs, consistent updates not guaranteed, batteries not included.

    Do people care?

    I'm starting to wonder if people even really care about the story I'm writing right now, Equinox Mission Logs. There've been no comments or feedback, and very few follows or even views (compared to my other stuff, anyway; twenty consistent people reading per chapter is still a decent amount from a neutral standpoint).

    I couldn't wait any longer.

    I got too impatient waiting for September 1st. :derpytongue2:

    New story goes up as soon as the publish queue gets to it, so in less than an hour. :twilightsmile:

    Long time no see

    So, uh, you're still following me, huh? I'm a bit surprised, gonna be honest. I mean, my last update was... December, I think? And that was just asking what's up with the new genre tags. Last update before then was September. Been almost a year.

    So many new genre tags!

    The last time I set up a story, we had... like, ten genres. Romance, Adventure, Slice of Life, Dark, Comedy, Random (you also basically needed the first if you had the second), Sad, Tragedy (once again, need the first if you have the second), Crossover, and Alternate Universe. And then Human was added a bit later before I kind of vanished.

    Back to Writing

    Well, I think I've gone long enough without really updating anything. Time to tell you guys exactly what I have planned for my stories now.

I need to know. · 10:06pm Jan 21st, 2014

Does anyone care about the Equestrian Death Battle Tournament? Or would you be fine with it just getting scrapped due to the fact that finishing it is next to impossible?

Vote below. Say if you want the tournament to continue, or say if you want it to be canceled and have the story get back to regular battles. Whatever has the majority vote by the end of the month (ten days from now) is what will happen. If nobody votes, or the votes are tied, or people keep telling me "do what you want", it will be cancelled by default.

For the record, DEATH BATTLE: Equestria will continue either way, and the tournament battles that have been done will remain up. But if the tournament is cancelled, I will go back to making ordinary battles solely. And there will be no more tournaments either way.

Cancel it.

Cancel it or burn... calories.

cancel it

cancel it

I guess....cancel it.

Tired of seeing so many crap OCs. Cancel it.

Discord vs Eris (The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy)?

What no don't cancel it. Seriously people what's wrong with you?

1743866 People have their opinions, respect that. And furthermore, I myself want to cancel it, so they're not really offending me. Don't go thumbing down every comment that goes against your opinion.

1743882 I do, but I just want to see the rest of it, and I'm not the one that thumbed them down.

I'd go with canceling it

1743888 If you say so. Sorry, I just found the timing suspicious when you commented and suddenly everyone saying to cancel had a thumbs-down. My bad.

And I understand wanting to see it continue, but I'm just having a lot of trouble continuing it. The first round has gone on over a year, almost everyone who's supposedly helping me with research and such has vanished, and it's become a chore for me to write a single battle with how much real life stuff I've got going on now. Plus, loads of people are tired of the tournament dragging on like this, as am I.

1743924 I can understand and respect that, and if I was in your position I'd probably do the same thing. At least my character's match happend, so I guess I'm happy with that.

And yeah the timing here does make it look bad on my part. :rainbowlaugh:

1743942 Yeah. Sorry about that. :twilightsheepish:

I'll say that the only thing keeping me from continuing the tournament despite the difficulty is how people are growing tired of it. If people seemed to unanimously like it, I'd keep doing it, but knowing that it's at least split half-and-half between "I love it!" and "JUST GET BACK TO REGULAR BATTLES!" makes me want to...you know...do the latter.

...though if I was being paid I'd probably continue regardless, because I kinda need money. :twilightsheepish:

It will be your final call on the decision in the end either way. It is really up to you if you want to cancel it or not. Hopefully the feedback will give you more clarity for your options and broaden any lurking around. I apologize for not actually stating an opinion of any kind, but that's sorta what I do. Needless to say, I like the likeableness of a neutral pile :derpytongue2:

1743972 Oh, trust me, if it was completely my decision I would've cancelled it. I want to see how many people care enough to say "Don't cancel it!" and see if it outweighs the people who care enough about getting the regular battles going again to say "Cancel it.", and right now, it certainly seems like a small amount.

fuck the tournament. i read this fic for the normal battles

1743956 Maybe you can go back to the regular battles and someone else can write the tournament battles. I'd offer, but then I'll probably have 20+ stories to read, and since I have other projects I'm working on, It'll be hard to get around to... okay, I'm not going to change my vote, but just thinking about that, I can get a good idea where you're coming from. :twilightsmile:

1744046 Yeah. I'll say that anyone who wants to try continuing the tournament or doing a new one is more than welcome to, but I'm not gonna be involved.

1744055 Well maybe I could do it, but that depends. Do you think it's possible to judge characters from just the notes you have? I'd assume no. Hell, even if I picked it up for you I don't trust myself to be unbias when it comes to Seth. :rainbowlaugh:

1744076 Don't bother. It's fine.

Darn. I was hoping to see it finish.
If nothing else, let me at least see the thrilling conclusion between Knightmare Demonbane and Plymouth Valiant.
I get your reasoning, though. It has dragged its feet a bit longer than we'd like it to have done.
Edit: I'm still voting to "see it continue".

Ice

Avoid continuing it. It's been dragged on for too long and it seems like more of a hindrance now.

It's been going on for far too long. I'm pretty sure half of it isn't done. So I'll be completely honest. I've lost quite a lot interest that I originally had.
