Sorry and news · 3:18am May 31st, 2014
My apologies to every pony. I have been mostly just reading the last little while and grieving. On the 14th my mother in law died after a long time of suffering a massive stroke some 9 years ago. My husband has needed me to be strong for him thus I have been. Now I am back. I have been convinced by a few people including my editor to try the body swap contest. Therefore that is what I am working on at this time.
I hope you all understand this and are not irritated or frustrated with me. Once this body swap fic is done I will return to writing Mother. The comments and up votes and favorites I have received from Mother have made me feel so very thankful and there is nothing I want more then to repay this feeling that I get every time I see a new comment or new favorite.
I can't promise that my stories will be finished quickly or that I will have a chapter out every week. I could say those things and devastate you more often not therefore I will promise this instead. I will not stop until my stories are complete. I will continue even if it takes years until all my stories read complete. This is my promise to you all.
With all that said I wish you a goodnight and good reading/writing
Filly, your adorable, really you are. And I think I speak for everyone (that matters) when I say life comes before writing some silly fictions, no matter what. It's annoying, frustrating, and even sometimes depressing, but true. However, here's a tip that I don't think anyone has told you about fanfiction writers. We tend to love our readers, and they often enjoy our writing, it's a symbiotic relationship that makes our fictional world go round. But the hard truth of it is: We writers don't actually owe the readers anything. Sure, we feel the obligation, the drive to write more interesting and appreciated tales. But at the end of the day, this is all voluntary (certain other writers on this site not withstanding). No one is going to get mad that you're mourning your mother in law. And if they do, they aren't worth the time it takes to call them an ass. Just take care of yourself, Filly. The readers worth noting will understand.

This, as it is, and in its entirety.
I've lost a parent and i can honestly say it was the worst thing I've thus far had to to go through.
I can only hope you and your husband can find many lesser joys to help you through the greater tragedy. Nothing makes it completely better, but i personally found that laughter helped, like warm water over a skinned knee. Each time it at least makes the pain feel a bit more cleaned and healed as you go along. I'm happy to hear that you have supported each other in your time of need.. Don't write until it makes you happy to do so, as nothing is more important than your loved ones.
Take all the time you need and also, please, please ignore my pm.
sorry for your loss
stay strong and take your time
My sympathies for your loss dude.
