Dear Readers · 3:19am Sep 20th, 2016
It is with a very heavy heart that I bring you this message to you today, instead of an exciting new update for the stories. In fact… The reason behind our silence for a while is the reason I’m writing this notice to you all in the first place.
Over the past few months, the members of the IDA Writer’s Guild have been at odds with each other. Conflict arisen between writers, editors, and creatives had been slowing progress tremendously, not just on this site, but on others as well. Every time someone stepped in to diffuse the situation… We only made it worse before it eventually worked its way up to the top, meaning myself, Chief Editor Jasper T. Critic, and Creative Lead Red Rider. The three of us wanted to bring the fighting to an end, not only to return to writing content, but just because we were a family being torn apart. We worked extremely hard to come up with a solution… But instead we turned upon each other…
The three of us ended up in a heated argument that lasted five days, on and off again, over text and over voice conference, and it only got worse and worse. It even ended up devolving into us just… insulting each other, not even addressing the issues at hand! Just three idiots, who put the whole thing together, yelling and cursing like children! Eventually we finally stopped… And made the final decision. The fighting had become too much, and if we continued on like this… We’d destroy ourselves. So… We ended it.
Dear readers, I am extremely sad to say to you all that the IDA Writer’s Guild has disbanded. The members have gone their separate ways, editors and creatives have returned to doing what they wish, and the writers kept whatever projects they worked on. Myself included. I am… so very sorry.
HOWEVER, this does not mean that content will stop entirely! No, I fully intend to see things through! The stories you see on the page here will not remain incomplete, lifeless husks! I brought life to them and I will see them through to the end! Project FREAK, IDA Ultimate Tournament, Guide to the Multiverse, Pimpin’ Peace and Perversion, and more on FiMFiction.net will be completed, I assure you! The progress will slow down, as expected, but the content and quality will remain the same! Just… please take it into consideration that even though the staff of writers is long gone, one still remains to give you the stories you desire.
That is all to say. In a 24-hour span of this message going up, the control of this account will fall entirely to myself, will be renamed, but will still remain the same. Thank you all for being tremendous readers and supporters… And to any former guild members reading this: We had a great three-year run. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
Until next time.IDA Official, Head Writer Mask
