A decade ago, today, Regent last updated. Needless to say, this is not an anniversary I was looking forward to. Part of me didn’t want to even acknowledge it, but it’s been years since I did one of those “deadfic updates” authors do and a decade’s as good of a reason to as any, so I figured why not.

I lied. It’s clickbait. It’s really Fanfiction Reading Update #180. There’s enough political shit and wanting to start civil wars in everyone else’s blog posts. Go read theirs or Knighty’s, which started all this, if you want to dive into what will eat the next six months of this site’s life.

It’s been quite entertaining watching Derpibooru completely implode in on itself as TSP, the site’s owner, completes this strangely riveting villain arc and has a full-on villainous breakdown. Reminds me a lot of those dark magic Twilight fics, in fact.

There’s some slim pickings for this reading update, despite a two month gap. That’s partly because of the holidays, but mainly because of my mom’s stubborn refusal not to sleep in the living room—making fanfic reading (and writing) enormously difficult for me and slowing things to a glacial crawl.

It's been a very, very, very long time since I talked about Regent in any meaningful way. There wasn't really anything worth talking about. It wasn't being written, I was burned out writing it, and there were no new chapters. No point in dragging the dead horse out for a useless blog post that does just as much as the hiatus tag does at informing readers about what's going on.
