Once upon a time, I dreamt of being a mad scientist when I grew up. After much consideration, I realised that science is quite hard. So I became a mad writer instead, which is much easier. True story.

    So for anyone who follows me but has not seen the latest chapter or Wild Card: Two of a Kind, here's the general message of my author's note:

    Song Lyrics Fiasco

    Apparently there's some butthurt rangers going round reporting fics that have song lyrics in them, which is against the rules or something. So yeah, I'm gonna be doing some editing on the earlier chapters to cut out lyrics and avoid getting my ass sued by people with more money than God.

    And that last sentence should pretty much sum up my feelings on this whole matter.

    My apologies

    No update for Wild Card this week I'm afraid. Just not feeling it at the moment. I'll be back when I manage to get out of this funk I'm stuck in at the moment. Honestly, I just want to get this story over and done with, but can't find the inspiration to write anything that doesn't look like complete tripe.

    Sigh

    See you next week probably.

    Wild Card Updates

    No chapter this week I'm afraid. I'm away on a visit to the university that I'll (hopefully) be going to in a couple of months as part of an induction weekend. Whilst this does mean that I don't have access to my computer (writing this on my Ipod at the moment) and, thus, cannot do any writing or uploading, it does mean that I do have access to a load of alcohol and some very cool people.

    Problems

    I have encountered a small problem whilst trying to write the next chapter of Wild Card. A small problem known as the Greater Demon of Writer's Block. Seriously, I have been staring at a piece of paper for about two days now, desperately trying to think of what I want to happen in the next chapter and so far all I've got is: 'maybe a battle of some kind?'

Hiatus Announcement · 5:32pm Apr 22nd, 2013

After much deliberation I've decided to put Wild Card on hiatus until my end of year exams are over. I really hate to have to do this but if I want to get into university (which I do) then I need to really focus. Hopefully, once the exam period is over, I'll be able to get back into writing smoothly and with plenty of fresh ideas. I apologize profusely for those of you who might be eagerly looking forward to the finale to Wild Card and I'll promise here and now that I will finish this story. Too many times in my life I've given up on something only to regret it later and I'm not going to let that happen here.

I'll be back sometime after 12/6 (6/12 for Americans I think) and I should have plenty of time for slaving over a hot keyboard and writing as I'll be done with college by then.

So, until we meet again,

While I completely understand and applaud your decision, I will still retain my right to feel sad and betrayed that I can no longer enjoy continual updates of Wild card. You may make up for my now inevitable depression by posting a 10.000 word chapter of epicy goodness on my birthday, the 30th of june, a mere 18 days after your proposed return to life outside of school.

I will accept nothing less, but until then I wish you good luck with your studies and hope that you achieve your status as an educated individual :moustache:

I understand completely and if getting regular updates hurts your exams then I will gladly give them up! *twitch twitch*

1026911 What he said. Minus the birthday.

Good Luck with the exams.

your future is much more important than a handful of enjoyed hours.
so take your time and we will be waiting here for your return.
