Why nothing has updated · 6:49am May 2nd, 2014
So, many of you are probably wondering something, and that something would be, where the hell is Chapter 3 of Trust in the Night, the Animals chapter of Genesis, and The Middle of Hypernova?
Well, the reasons are actually quite simple. I've tagged Trust in the Night here because it has the most followers and also the biggest gap between chapters, but the reasons are the same for all three.
The first reason, and actually the biggest reason, is because it's JumpingShinyFrogs you're expecting updates from. Those of you who follow me, the author, and not my stories, know that I am an extremely slow writer. A month between updates is my standard wait time.
The second reason, and maybe the most interesting one, is that I'm writing a large one-shot in an attempt to break writer's block. The one-shot is currently about half-finished, and has a very original concept (at least, I think it does). For more information, read the thing when it comes out, which should be fairly soon, maybe by Monday.
The third reason is that I'm currently taking part in two large-scale collabs, Forward Unto Dawn, where I write for Rainbow Dash and Luna, as well as editing everyone else's terrible grammar, and Ascension, which isn't out yet. These two collabs are time-consuming, though progress on Ascension has slowed considerably because the head of the project has a real life.
The fourth reason is probably the most shocking. Brace yourself. I have...a life outside of Fimfiction! Exam time is approaching, and it's the Junior Cert. I don't know what you 'Mericans or Brits call it, but here in Ireland, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, when people are in third year, they have to take a huge test for some reason. It sucks major ass, but I've handed up all my projects now, and the actual exams aren't for another month or so. So it shouldn't be as pressing for another while.
So those are my reasons. I know they're terribly inadequate, and I will try to compensate once I'm less tied up, but for now, you'll have to suffer through the update gap.
Seems legit.
Sounds like you're doing the equiv of the Literary Test.
Enjoy the junior cert. I'm sure you will ace those tests.
