Back from the dead (sorta) · 5:39am Apr 27th, 2018
I feel like I've done this one too many times, and I go on about how life is busy, college, blah blah blah. This post is hopefully the last of that for a very long time.
I am now in the last weeks of college, meaning adulthood will a full-time thing. Huzzah. Big and the gang are in great health, tax break bonus helped pay off tuition, growing spiritually, kicking ass in Battlefront II, stoked for the Spyro remaster. In general, life is pretty f*cking delightful.
In terms of writing, it's been next to nothing due to said commitments, though these circumstances ought to change very soon. I still owe James Light a couple of chapters for "Season 7 Clopshots"; one for Meadowbrook's debut, the other Rumble's return. The Illusionverse -- stories focused on Trixie's bandmates in an almost Rosencrantz and Guildenstern-esque fashion -- is still a thing. A few entries are in progress, more to come, and all will span from the first Equestria Girls to the ongoing Better Together series. To clarify, Fuchsia and Lavender Are (Not) Dead is a part of this, but Tales of the Equestria Girls no longer will be (a minor change in the former story will be made to reflect this).
Due to the events of Kingdom Hearts 0.2 -A Fragmentary Passage-, Aqua will remain on hiatus until suitable changes reflecting canon (my respect for it is too damn high) are made. Don't worry, Aqua's eventual confrontation with a certain villainess will play out as intended.
The Winningverse... I'm close to being burnt out. I have ideas, start writing fragments, break away for a while, then those ideas show up in another form in Ponibius or Chengar's stories. Not irked at them even the slightest, just at myself for the lack of impulse control and concentration. And perhaps motivation. And maybe focusing more on references than the story at times. Circumstances just prevented me from applying more dedication to those stories over the past few years, and I end up not being fast enough to implement unique ideas. I really want to crank one story out to tie up some loose ends. All of them, really. Poni, Chen, James, Web, everyone, sorry to have let you guys down.
God forbid I claim to be back on track then get absorbed in a 20th anniversary Half-Life story (feel old yet?).
I'm sorry, here I am rambling and sounding depressed and crap. I've been here over five years, I just need to stop bitching, put my f*cking foot down and get sh*t done.
Best of luck with your future writing projects! At the end of the day, it's all about sitting down and cracking away at things until you've got some chapters in front of you.
