Hey.

You still out there? It's been a while, hasn't it...?

So... I'll be blunt with you.
I really don't have much interest in writing pony fanfiction anymore. I've drifted away from the fandom quite a bit, really only watching the newest episodes when I'm feeling silly (how bout that ep100 amirite?) but really don't get involved in the fandom like I used to.

So what does this mean for all the ongoing fics I've been writing? Well, a logical man would say they are cancelled.
However, every time I come here to seal the deal and change them to "cancelled," I just... don't.
I feel like there's no coming back from it, and I always think about you guys...

I looked through some of the comments left behind. I remembered how happy they made me. The idea that people appreciated something I made is unlike anything else. I still... want that. But to be frank, at this point I find writing about ponies... well, silly. Sorry. No offense.
I'd love to write again, but I want it to be about anything I want. And believe me, I have a LOT in mind. Maybe I'll set something up where I can release chapters through google docs and post the links on my forum site or something, I don't know... It really all depends on... well, you guys.

Really, this blog post is a test.
I'm testing to see who's still out there, and if you'd still like to follow me into the great void of creative writing.
If I get enough feedback... maybe I'll set something up and do some more writing. If I get a LOT of feedback... maybe... JUST MAYBE... I might sit myself down and continue unlikely heroes. It's doubtful, to say the least... Hell, maybe I'll try it over again (the whole character-submission thing) but without ponies. We'll see.
Either way, I want to know if you guys would still read my stuff if it wasn't pony related. I'm talking fantasy and sci-fi, mostly.

So, here goes nothing. If you're interested... I'm still here. If not... well... take care, I'll see you at Ragnarok.

Hey man! It's been so damn long! I was wondering if something bad happened to you!

Well, I've been a part of a roleplaying group so it has kinda kept me busy. Not to mention all the games that have been coming out (And are going to come out; FALLOUT 4, EEEEEE~~~!)
While it is sad to hear that you've lost your will to write pony stuff, I do understand it. I myself haven't watched the newest episodes past the Griffonstone episode, even though I keep telling myself I need to do it.

That's okay, you don't have to write something you don't want to. I'd love to read your writing and I love sci-fi and fantasy!
