    Sorry for my absence.

    Look, I know it's been ages since I published a new chapter of the Awesome Spider-Dash, and I just want to apologise for that. At first it was just pure laziness and writers block (you know, the usual), but lately it's more been fear and shame that has stopped me from writing.

    A fair warning to all my readers

    There are some jerks who are going around downvoting every comment I have in my fanfics without telling my why they do so, that includes all of your comments as well, because they're just that petty and cruel.

    New Spider-Dash chapters on the way. In the meantime, here's some artwork!

    Look, I know it's been ages since I uploaded a new chapter of the Awesome Spider-Dash, but rest assured that the next one is in the editing stages and the one after that probably won't take too long given that it's mostly finished.

    Some new Spider-Dash villain designs!

    So...remember in my last blog post when I said that I was planning a major re-casting of the future villains in the story, where I replaced the mysterious Crystal King with Rex Storm, the Kingpin of Crime...while Sombra has become the supervillain known as Mister Negative? Well, here's a sneak peak at some

Sorry for my absence. · 2:39pm Jun 22nd, 2021

Look, I know it's been ages since I published a new chapter of the Awesome Spider-Dash, and I just want to apologise for that. At first it was just pure laziness and writers block (you know, the usual), but lately it's more been fear and shame that has stopped me from writing.

So here's the deal. I briefly published a short one shot where after the season 9 finale, the real Grogar showed up and ended up frustrated because everyone thought he was still Discord in disguise. It was just a small bit of silly fun that no one was meant to take seriously. I even said so in the author's note.

What happened instead was that people used the comment section to argue serious moral issues about the series finale, where I only occasionally pitched in with my own opinions. Most adamantly though, I urged people to take that discussion somewhere else. When they didn't, I eventually got so frustrated that I felt the need to delete a few comments that were very rude and were not relevant to the story, mostly to avoid a flame war. Those people responded to that by downvoting everything I've ever made as well as all the comments you guys left on my stories. I eventually deleted the story itself from Fimfiction just to get out of that mess, but that didn't really help anything. Eventually, I managed to communicate with someone who knew who the downvoters were, and apologised for how badly I handled the situation, and they managed to convince at least one of them to remove some of their downvotes.

While the situation is mostly resolved by now, the whole mess made me fall into a depression and for months I've been legit terrified of people harassing me for publishing fanfics or stating my opinions of the show online.

For me, the thing that hurt the most wasn't that people didn't like what I wrote, I could take that. The thing that hurt me the most were people claiming I was a selfish jerk and deserved the treatment I got...as well as the fact that they decided to punish my fans instead of just me for something that I did. Revenge by proxy sickens me to no end, and there's nothing I hate more than people thinking I'm an asshole when I honestly never intended to hurt anyone.

I'm not writing this to make you feel sorry for me. I'm just explaining why I haven't been providing you with any new content for a while. I don't know when, or even if, I'll get back to it, but I'm sorry for being absent for so long, and I'm sorry your comments got downvoted. You guys truly didn't deserve that.

It’s okay.
The online world can bring out the worst in people.

The people who went and wasted their time on downvoting your work and comments are all just a bunch of jerks. I’ve followed your work for almost 2 years now and I’ve absolutely loved it. Keep your head high and ignore any unnecessary hate you’ve gotten.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate that :pinkiesad2:. As long as I have people like you two on my side, I'm sure I'll be able to get back into writing sooner rather than later. :pinkiehappy:

What do you want from me now?

5594446
Jesus christ! For someone that complains of people keeping him grudge you sure keep a lot of that yourself....
I dont want anything. I never wanted i dont know what are on about chap.
To phrase better for this fandom mindset I had the "best of intentions"
Nowww wassupp?

I did not post this blog post in order to spite the downvoters. This is not because of a grudge. I posted this to explain my absence to my readers and apologise to them for not posting any new chapters in awhile. In order to that, I had to explain the reasons why I was gone for so long in the first place. It's really that simple. There's no agenda, no grudge, no spite, it's just me explaining things to my readers.

End of story.

Uhmm i know how to read you know? Why are you so spiteful? (stupid question) But indulge me.

5594459
I am not spiteful at all. However, the angry eyes you sent me looked very spiteful to me, but I guess I was mistaken.

5594462
My apologies its not angry eyes. It a sociopathic stare(its different) It was meant as a joke in refernce to some mentions in your post.
It was meant as like (I have my eyes on ya) kind of way.

5594464
Oh...then thanks for clearing that up. I was very confused. Sorry for assuming the worst.

5594471
You remind me of my friend that has aspergers. I usually have to explain to him most of the jokes annndd some social norms.

5594474
Makes sense since I'm on the autism spectrum as well. It's also way too easy to misinterpret comments on the internet given that you can't hear a person's tone of voice or see their face.

5594476
Pff no worth sweating over it or letting bring someone down. Gotta live with what you get and make do. I know from experience.

So that’s a no on continuing The Spider Dash story?

I was planning on returning to this one for quite a while, but...well, after I eventually came back from my funk after the whole mess described in this blog post, I had lost interest in continuing this particular story, and also after Friendship is Magic ended, I wanted to move on to writing for a completely different fandom.

My next project is going to be in The Legend of Zelda universe, but won't be posted to this site because, you know, no ponies. Though I do have an account on both 'Fanfiction.net' and 'Archive of Our Own' where I'll continue posting stories, so if you enjoyed my writing, feel free to check my stuff out there.
