If you are reading this, then you have favorited From the General and/or are watching me. And I may have not-so-good-news... · 7:45pm May 17th, 2013
So around... holy crap it's already been ten months? Damn. So ten months ago, I had an idea. I was a relative latecomer to the MLP fandom, having joined right after the season two finale, and I was a filthy casual gamer, one of the games I played being Command and Conquer Generals/Zero Hour. I was also an avid reader of Fanfiction of various subjects.
And so I thought, why the hell not. And I wrote the story. And so I wrote... and wrote... English class papers came and went, and my skill in typing increased dramatically. I swear, ever since I started writing fanfiction, I've had one of the best scores in writing in my entire school. Maybe it's the fact that I've been a reader all my life? Maybe.
Cut to now. Among my many (At least for me) other stories, From the General is the biggest. I've met a good number of fellow C&C fans, I've made and created my own world, and I've had fun. So it was nice.
But here's the problem. It's getting old and I'm losing interest. And many of you who were here for a while know that I take roughly two months to update each chapter. That and the fact that the quality of writing at the beginning and the end are too great for me to ignore, but would take too much effort to redo.
And with the departure of my prereader (Who for some odd reason wanted to remain anonymous... Oh well. He's the one that asked.) I've just lost all drive to continue this story. Not to mention that the next few years will be the most chaotic time of my life, I really can't spend hours writing. Hence the reason each chapter of Clankers is no more than a few hundred words long. I have a countless number of stories sitting unfinished, some of them I just want to get out there and probably will eventually.
I kills me to say this, but at the same time, I'm sort of relieved to end it right here instead of letting it wither and die, although it already sort of did happen.
Sorry, but it's time to move on.
So it's over, huh? Can't say I'm not sad but I still consider the time I spent reading it time well spent. It is one of the stories I enjoyed reading the most on here and I hope someday you get inspiration for it again. I guess it's time for me to read Clankers and I hope your prereader is okay.

Sorry. But I might come back in a few years after my life has settled down. It's not canceled, but the plans for updating it are so long and far away that it might as well be. It's not a hiatus, there actually is a chance that this story will never see another chapter, but I already have a good chunk of the next update written, so after that's out, the story's practically dead.
The next few years of my life will be a shitstorm, and I'm the one that gets to wipe it off of the windshield.
