Well, I just had an issue with the drive my stories were on, and now all my unpublished material is gone. Sucks since a couple chapters were almost completed. Probably gonna take even longer because rewriting stuff I've already written frustrates me; I try to rewrite it exactly as I'd written it before. So, yeah, sorry.

My boss just fucked me over big time, and I may be out of a job now. So, yeah, don't bitch about me not updating, cuz I'm really not in the mood.

I swear I used them on a couple chapters, but when I publish, I don't see them. I didn't see any other buttons either. What am I doing wrong?

I've made next to no progress on my game. I've only been working on my SDL devkit, and haven't worked out the plot for my own game.

A friend of mine suggested that since I've made no progress on the game story, I should go back to fan fiction to practice. I guess I'm not gonna get anywhere spinning my wheels in the mud, so fine, I'm gonna write fanfics again for practice.

So, I want to apologize for what I said before. I know I upset a lot of people, and I understand if you guys don't want to read what I write anymoce. It's no less than I deserve after pulling a Sharky on you.

So, for better or worse, I'm back.

I'll be going through later and marking all my stories as cancelled. I've decided to focus my efforts on my original stories and games. I'll still be coming around here to read, and I'm still gonna edit for Air Psyren. But even though I've got so many fanfic ideas, I've lost the drive for all of them.

Now, to those of you who wanted Shacklebolt to come back, I'm not going to apologize to you guys... because he's still comkng back. He just won't be a changeling in Equestria anymore. I have an interesting idea for him, so don't worry.

Long story short, I've gotten back into game dev, so I haven't felt like writing fanfics.

I can see I should have waited for Shacklebolt to find out exactly what he is before submitting the first chapter.

I didn't want to have him start out depressed, just unsure about things. I was gonna have the weight of his transformation hit him really hard and trigger his depression. So far, only one person figured that out, though. I wanted this new version to be about him struggling with reality, trying to come to terms with what he remembers being real and what people are now telling him is real, while at the same time, learning to cope with a lifestyle he finds dispicable but is forced to take on.

I guess I'm a little upset that a guy who barely remembers what he did wrong is so upset about it. I figure if he's gonna be depressed about a past he can't remember, instead of it just being him not getting along with friends, having evidence that he was actually hurting people without remorse would be more jarring.

But, that's just me.

You want the same story as before, just more believable. But Shacklebolt should still hate himself. Is that right? Cuz it's not too late for me to go back. I still have the other rewrite that had the similar beginning.

I said I'd give Shacklebolt a new story, and I meant it. So, pleasetell me what you think of this.

Also, my Android updated itself, so now I can post chapters longer than 9000 characters. So now my filesize can be OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND!
