College.

I'll try to get things in working order soon. I'm not dead yet.

You'll find this hard to believe, but I've never seen the show, besides a few parody clips of it and some textual info on the whole thing. After reading a few fics on the Doctor Who pony, however, I've started to grow more curious if the show is entertaining or not.

So tell me, my fellow followers. For a first time watcher of Doctor Who, which series should I watch first? The one from the 1960s-1980s, or the one from 2005-onward?

Man oh man...

How long has it been since I started Majestic Royalty? Nearly a year, perhaps? It was one of my very first fics to ever reach the #1 Feature Spot, and it's gained over 1000 Favorites over the past several months. It brought a tear to my eye to see so much support going for this fic, despite my disadvantages. Everyone, I thank you at the bottom of my heart for tolerating my writing and reading each and every chapter that I update it with. It has given me the motivation to continue with it. Despite times that I just didn't feel like writing it, you, the fans, always proved me wrong and gave me that energy again to continue on.

Unfortunately, not anymore.

It's been a fun run with writing Majestic Royalty, but I'm just not feeling it anymore. I don't know if it's because of college classes or me hard-pressed for time, but for the past couple weeks, I've been trying to write a new chapter. So far only half of it is done, but it was like an average of 50 words per day. Every time I sit at my computer, I'm just staring at Microsoft Word, with my mind being a complete blank. After like an hour or so of staring at my computer screen, contemplating on what to do, I very slowly type out what happens in the chapter. But then I just stop and stare at it for another hour. It's like I'm a zombie; I drool at the mouth figuring out what should happen next. After having a chat with TheSlorg, Draequine, and other PonyFall members, I finally realized it:

I'm not having fun anymore.

I've had this fic for nearly a year, and it's a miracle I've managed to somehow keep updating it. The updates became weekly, but then it quickly became monthly, and then suddenly several months. I thought it was just my motivation having a problem. It turns out it was just me forcing myself trying to get a chapter ready. It was all fun at first, but my fun for it degraded over time. It didn't help when PonyFall had to be overhauled and suspended for a month or so a year ago--that somewhat killed it for me right there, but I still kept on going, with fans anticipating the next chapter.

But now... I just don't have it in me anymore. When you're not having fun, how do you enjoy doing what you do when all you're doing is forcing yourself?

If reading those few paragraphs is too much to read, I'll simplify it: I'm withdrawing from PonyFall.

The original chapter I was typing, I will finish. After that will be one more chapter to tie up loose ends. I am very sorry to have disappointed you all, but I just can't keep on going with this. I've already had a talk with TheSlorg, and he has agreed with my decision. He agreed with it quite calmly, actually, which was quite a surprise. I envy him for his patience and understanding, and everything he's done for the group.

The original chapter and the finale chapter was already discussed with the group, and it will be released in the future at an unknown time. So while I'm still in PonyFall itself, my part will end in two chapters. If anyone has any questions, I will try to answer to the best of my ability, since I'm sure all of you need further answers.

Again, I am very sorry for doing this. :(

February, and I haven't posted a single update. 'Tis a miracle that I'm even on why now, because lemme tell ya: Scheduling when I would sit my lazy ass down to write anything at all, has caused me all sorts of trouble.

With college coming back up, time is going to be a slight issue. What with trying to get electives, getting my credits transferred to another college, especially since I'm moving from Belgium to the states again this year--I just don't know when--oh, and rushing out to get whatever classes I need to get completed before my move takes place.

The big problem? I don't freaking know when I'm moving this year, which means I can't plan ahead. I could have two sessions of college classes before I have to move, but even then, I don't know. I mean, you can't take a college of class if you end up moving in the middle of it: It'd be not only a waste of money, but I'd have to cancel the class with barely any benefit. ;_;

Well, unless the instructor lets me take the final exam early, which I rather doubt.

Phew... well, now that that troublesome rant is out of the way, let's get on with story updates!

It's already been two months since I last updated PonyFall, and I certainly need to get my ass on it. God knows how many times people have reminded me about it...

*****

"Dude, when are you continuing PonyFall? Love your stuff man!"

"Post another chapter or I'll kick your ass!"

"Publicar un nuevo capítulo!"

*****

^WARNING! Completely Made Up Fanmail, Therefore, I Am Entitled To Be a Lying Ass. WARNING!^

Okay, but seriously, I have been reminded of it repeatedly, and I'm happy to say that PonyFall will be my next update, which I am working on now. I only pray I have the motivation to make it all the way, fellas!

And an update on Naruto... that is currently unknown at the moment. It was a miracle that I managed to get another chapter in there, but now I'm trying to find time to get another one squeezed in. I certainly don't plan on giving up on it, since it's probably the only fic I've ever written that's like... christ, over 100k of words? Never written anything that long before.

Right then, the tl;dr version: PonyFall Updates coming soon, Naruto is unknown, and Trixie is best pony. Wait, or is it Twilight Sparkle? Hmm... would a toaster be considered a pony?

Maybe toaster ponies?

Anypony? Maybe?

...I'm going to sleep.

I've been curious on what it was like to use an Android for a long time now.

I've always heard and seen advertisements for Android Phones, Android Tablets-- a lot of things for it. The thing is, I've always used an iPod Touch 2G, and that was plenty for what I needed: A portable MP3 player with internet capabilities and youtube viewing. Plus, Angry Birds. Who doesn't like Angry Birds?

But then came along the holidays, and I was in need of some kind of upgrade. My 2G was pretty outdated, stuck in the 4.2.4 update. When it comes to older Apple products, they just stop updating them entirely after a certain point is reached.

Thing is, I'm getting an iPhone at some point in the future, and I wanted something that I would use on the go without having to rely on a laptop. Plus, I travel a lot by plane. You know how hard it is to open a laptop in a plane? You just sit it on one of those tables attached to the back end of a seat, and then all of a sudden, some idiot reclines back into the chair, and closes the laptop lid partially with it! This normally happens in coach, but even then my space is ruined. No room to open a laptop when this happens, and I'm stuck with some other alternative means.

But with a Tablet (or an iPad or other iOS product), you can just hold it in front of you. Those damn things are decent in terms of weight, too.

When I compared prices with the iPad and iPad Mini, however, they were just pretty damn expensive. Then a friend of mine suggested to look at some Android Tablets. I was skeptical with thinking of getting an Android, since I've always been used to Apple's iPod Touch and other iOS products.

I did some research, however, and I found out that they're actually not that bad in price. In fact, they're a lot less restrictive than what Apple pulls out. You know how everything just depends on iTunes, unless you jailbreak the damn thing? Well, not the Android it seems. It's like a dumbed down Laptop.

I had to be careful though, since some Tablets had more problems than the rest. My first choice was me getting an ASUS T300 Tablet, since I thought they were pretty reliable. Hell, I've got an ASUS Motherboard in my gaming PC, and it hasn't failed me yet.

But then I looked at the reviews and frowned. It seemed to have hardware issues and it had some power problems, especially with screen vulnerabilities. Don't you just hate it when you depend on a certain company, they screw up in some form or another?

I didn't want to risk it, since I wanted to get something that would last for a long time. Then there was the more common choice: A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Now I hear those things are pretty sturdy, especially its Note counterpart. But the problem was that it was a remodelled version of an older tablet, and it was a bit slow and incompatible with other Android apps, so that shut me off a bit.

It was then I came across the love of my life... the Acer A210. Now honestly, I use an Acer laptop, and they're a pretty sturdy company from my experience. Plus, with a $299 pricetag, I figured it would be worth a purchase. Reviews were good, and I didn't see too many negatives, so I decided "to hell with it" and purchased it.

I gotta admit, I don't regret it so far. My main reasons for getting it was the pretty decent battery life, reading e-books and manga, and playing some games on it while on the go. I'm sure I can find other uses for it, but there's a lot of apps to go through.

Only problem: Some apps are more efficient than others, and there seems to be similar copies that do the same thing, either it doing better than others or worse than others. I've noticed this more with the Ebook readers and Manga Reader Apps, oh, and also the SNES Emulators.

It's hard to figure out which one is better than the other, so I'm stuck in a never-ending loop of finding what's better than the other. I'm curious to know what apps would be useful in an Android Tablet, though? I'd love to hear your personal opinions on this.

Oh, also... free Angry Birds, yay!

The Fox Tail, The Great And Powerful, And The Timberwolf

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8818936/1/The-Fox-Tail-The-Great-and-Powerful-and-a-Timberwolf

This is my first time even being plagiarized from fanfics to begin with. I mean, look at this... The foxtails on Naruto, the Timberwolf turned Sentient, an altered drunken encounter with Trixie? I know darn well he took these ideas from my own fic.

Without even one word of my permission...

I don't know if I should feel honored or insulted...

Apparently the chapter had a lot more problems than I previously expected. After receiving some rather interesting criticism from Daemon and a couple of other... well, events, I decided to have a talk with Slorg, and we both agreed that I pretty much screwed the pooch with this recent chapter.

A lot of the things I've written didn't make sense from a reality standpoint. I knew with the fake murderer stance that Gordon was putting on would need to be explained pretty damn well in order for it to make any sense at all, but it seems I've failed in that regard, and just didn't think out this new chapter too well.

So therefore, Chapter 9 is being removed to undergo changes... major changes. Chapter 8 will also receive some slight alterations to reflect the re-written chapter. I must apologize for any readers that took offense in the latest chapter. This is what I get for trying to make things interesting instead of following logic. >_>

Everything is ready. The Finale and Epilogue are both complete in terms of edits and proofreading. The Final Chapter will be launched this Sunday, December 9th at an unspecified time. The Epilogue will be posted the next day, which is Monday. It's been a long road, but it's finally been done.

And christ almighty, has it really been 3-4 months since I started on Pink Symphony? That went way longer than I intended. I really should get back to Naruto soon as well, god knows how many times DaMobbs has been bugging me about it, lol.

Motivation has been slowly dripping away from me, but I'm finally typing up the final parts of Pink Symphony as we speak. If all goes well, I'll have it done in an hour or two, which will then be sent out for edits and proofreading. It's been a long journey for this fic, but I'm quite glad I did this. It was quite the writing experience creating this. 'Twas my first time writing a 2nd Person fic too. While I did have some complications and writer blocks from doing this alone, it was a journey I'll never forget.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go bang my head against the wall. Apparently my motivation needs some motivating, if that makes any sense.

EDIT: I'm done. Now to send it in for edits. Yay!
