A Massive Shake up · 12:40am Jul 27th, 2016
Greetings fellow FimFiction Writers, fans, and friends.
Been a very, very, very, actually extremely would be a better term, long time since i actually did one of these. No real reason except i saw no use for it while the story comment section exists. Anyway, I'm not sure any of you noticed yet but a lot of my stories have suddenly vanished. That's not the FimFiction's mods fault i did it myself. I even deleted my first story here, which was nothing more than a glorified "Rock of Ages" ripoff. Some have may also noticed a giant "Cancelled" Sign next to my most popular story: "The Bare Weekend." No doubt those who have seen it are probably writing their complaints right now.
There's a good reason why those stories are gone, and The Bare Weekend got canned: I lost interest. The first one i posted here I wasn't really proud of and just kept it here as a sign of how far i came. But i feel now that it was doing that bad story a great injustice so i pulled it. Same with Equestrian Air Guard, Der Zeppelin, and Black Knights, lost complete interest and i kept them for whatever fan they had. It's not you guy's fault, its more mine i just don't feel right having those works which I won't be working on being up for the world to see and ask the question of "When is it coming out next?"
Now on to the big meat of the problem: The Bare Weekend. I'll be honest right now that story solely existed because Fluttershy's Secret Party Trip was a success and, at time of the first chapters release, there were few to no true nudist stories here on FimFiction. That can no longer be said, what with the works of Admiral Biscuit , Enclave2277, Charlie_K, and the entire Nudist and Nudity Group (the latter of which i am apart of). Let's also not forget my co-writing project with Enclave in the surprisingly popular Canterlot High Has A Club about What?!. So Nudist stories are now present here and are being handled rather well, which is why the story's staying just so that one isn't lost to the bunch. Don't be shocked however if it vanishes by year's end. There are other reasons for TBW's cancellation, this was just one of them and the pettiest i've got. The primary reason i'm canning this thing: It's forced, it's stupid, and i don't like writing for it anymore. I forced my self, quite literally actually, to work on the damn thing. Hell so much so that i now simpithise with Ellen when she took down her "It's Just Anatomy" sequel. In fact, the legions of fans squawking the questions "Are you working on the next chapter?" and/or "When is the next chapter going to be released?" didn't help in the slightest.
Can't say i blame them, I've certainly done it to some writers. I'm just saying it didn't help my mood on those stories.
And that's a big problem with me over all that i have to stress. Out side of Canterlot Club, don't sit at the edge of your seat waiting for me to update my stories!!! I can't honestly stress that enough. My mark of consistency is that i have none. One of my big struggles of recent is dedication to something i enjoy, and if i force myself to sit down and work because someone's begging me to update i loose the love. Granted that's probably the biggest clique in history when it comes to writers and i do know the reward is worth it. But it's only worth it sometimes, and those sometimes have been very few.
NOW With all that crap out of the way, let's talk about whats sticking. Obviously I'm still working on Razgriz. That one's gonna remain primarily because i still enjoy that one, once i remember how the cerebral story line is going to progress. I know i'm crap, leave me alone! :)
Also Canterlot Club, yeah I'm trying to keep up with the Every Thursday schedule and Enclave's been a big help. Will admit right now though, this coming month of August may throw a wrench into those plans due to an upcoming Vacation I've got happening. I'm also currently working on a Prompt for August for the members of Nudists and Nudity which, if Crystal approves, should be released on the First of August.
Alright that Covers what remains.
What do you mean what remains Mr. Skies is there something coming?
Well, yeah. Right now, i call it Project C.
What is Project C? Glad you asked. Right now it's in the development stages. But when it comes out, it'll be a very fun Christmas Present.
Okay that's all from me this time around.
Sincerely Your's

Well I must say this came as quite a shock but we have to do what needs to be done in the end so rest well and when your writing Mus comes back and your stress is down I will be waiting for a new adventure
I'd say "don't stress about it" but I know that never works. Anyway, take as long as you need to. That's why I subscribe to stories. I check my feed every day, and if there's a new chapter, cool. If not, I check again tomorrow. No big deal.
