Well everyone, its been a while. A good long while in fact. I guess I owe to those that are still around some sort of explanation.
For the most part, the reason that I have not been around has been mostly because the pressure I was putting on myself to write was too much. It may seem like a weird and unsatisfying-to-hear reason for most of you, but to those that are writers with expectant fans of your work may know of what I talk about. Or at least that is what it felt like to me...
In the time that I've been away I graduated with my Bachelors in Computer Science and since went on and into the work force. In the past I would worry so much if I would be able to get a proper job when I graduated. Now it seems so silly. Just planning for my 401k and paying off my loans has me sweating now.
I think I should let you all know that I never really left Fimfiction, just my account for the past couple years or so. I was reading other works the whole time and keeping up on some of the greats (I should have just created a second account and saved my screen the wall of links....)
Now...
The reason I have returned...
While I was away for the first year I contemplated what I was to do about my first story, the one I never finished, "Grasping Happiness" For a time I debated not finishing it at all, then I would work myself up to do it, then second guess my logic and if the scenes made sense. I realize only now that I should have really just bit the bullet and marked it down as Hiatus because I was getting nowhere on it when I could have been focusing my effort elsewhere. A lot of my struggles to write came from this. Now I will give you all a real answer and the answer I should have given you,
I have no idea if I will finish it or not. *I am marking Grasping Happiness as Hiatus*
Secondly, I will be doing the same for Winter's Warmth, maybe if I find it in myself to finish off the last few chapters I'll cap that one and call it an almost-3-years a day. *I make no promises*
Now for the brighter side of things. There is a story that I had in the making for a little while and I picked at it, getting a feel for the kind of style I wanted to write it in as it was a heavily adventure based fic, though it does have many hints of other genres that will take part, I am still working on it to this day and trying to flesh out the story before I make any posts at all on the plot or anything really. I feel that there in lies my greatest weakness from the past, not having the story right before I start posting.
And lastly there is a Clop fic that I have been writing and you can actually thank as it is what is helping me to make this return to the site, I have the first and second chapter mostly written and I will leak that it is another princest is wincest story and will contain futa and some other of my person favorite fetishes. To those of you that liked my previous story "Eternally Loved" and are okay with Anthro involved, I think you will particularly like this one.
Yes, clop got me back into writing stories. Deal with it.
Again, I offer apologies to those that I have kept waiting for so long, I might not be able to offer you the finished story you may have wanted, but I can give you a little hope for the future. As uncertain as the future is.
Thank you to those that are still around.

p.s. Inumaniac or Shumiry, if either of you get this and happen to still want to review my work for me, which I would understand if you didn't, I'd be happy to have you back as my editors again.
Yay, you're back!
Now i will never know what will happen on "Grasping Happiness"
Absolutely know where you're coming from. Those reading my stories never actually demanded anything, but I sure as heck felt that I NEEDED to be publishing stuff regularly, and it pretty much killed my drive to write for many, many months. A whole bunch of my writer friends have had the same issue, so you're not alone
Glad you've got past it and are writing again. I look forward to seeing what you come up with
I was just about to ask if 'Grasping Happiness' was dead or not. I understand now why it hasn't been updated in over 2 or 3 years. I really hope you will one day continue and finish this story. This was the first Twilight x Celestia shipfic that I read that I fav'ed that wasn't a clop, nor a one-shot. I would hate to see it in hiatus hell forever. I do thank you for at least putting it on hiatus instead of leaving it Incomplete like so many other authors.
