The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly · 10:57pm May 25th, 2013
Good news: Chapter 9 of FNTK Reborn is up and running, taking place of 4.5 'i'll make a mare outta you'.
Bad news: Both Ember and Omnius are dropping out of the chessverse, for different reasons. With tamara bloodhoof, it's apparently because she feels creatively stifled, and I don't blame her.
With Nathan Traveler, well, it's apaprently because of all the shit being slung everyone's way lately, he felt it was unfair that he was the only one to keep working on the Chessverse's major projects during that time. And....I don't blame him. He's done alot, and I do mean ALOT for the Chessverse as a whole, especially with our bigger projects. And, well, none of us got around to giving him the respect and help he deserved. And talk about irony, we find out in a rather harsh manner about his dropping out just now, when we as a group finally start getting our shit together.
Life's a fucking bitch.
I'll be honest, I'm a stubborn bastard at times...but all of the shit that's been happening lately? ....I'm tempted to quit as well... Very, sorely tempted to jsut say 'here's what I had planned, use it or pitch it, I don't care anymore'. ...do you think I should?
Follow your heart and you shall never be led astray.
Please don't. We've lost two good people already. I'd hate to lose another.
You were the second Chess Game fic I started reading(second to Beast Within). I really don't want to lose both of those fics, and I'm also really interested in this storyline. So, yeah. It'd suck if you left.. And stuff.
1107749 Omnius made it clear he's leaving, for keeps. So beast within might as well be over with.
1107871 That's what I meant. I didn't want to lose both of the fics in the Chess Game verse that I started out with.
1108127 from the looks of it, I'm likely staying. but if this s#!t keeps up, then I'll just plain give up.
I've been through enough IRL, I don't need this level of bullshit here online.

Hey man, I'm still around to help. Even if I DO have two broken elbows. I think this will work out just fine. Sometimes life throws things your way but then, something else even better steps in to take it's place. There are plenty of interested people and a decent number of good writers. it'll work out. Keep the faith.
Shenanigans shall occur.
P.S. I can use both hands again. Even better, I'm not allowed to do heavy lifting, meaning the next two weeks, I'm not allowed to do anything but sit on the computer all day long.
:D
I'd send you a gif of me dancing but it would probably be terrifying. Also, I have no idea how to make gifs or how I would record it. Sadface
P.P.S.
As for why I have two broken elbows, I was climbing an 8 foot fence and my shoelaces caught on the top, flipping me onto my palms. It was the 11th time I'd gone over the fence that day but apparently that was one too many. In any case, I'll keep up with the rewrites nice and quicky-like. The new Chapter 10 is already underway. I may even be able to start on 11 tonight.
P.P.P.S.
I'm not seeing an ugly section. Can I be the ugly section? I'm pretty unattractive I think. So there we go. We have now finished the blog post with me being ugly. Problem solvededededed.
1108533 Thanks man, I needed that.

Those of us who people deem insane are simply unwilling to believe what we do could possibly be fun. Just because I climb on almost everything I come across, I be a weirdo. well, no, there are other reasons but still.
Of course if you ARE actually insane, that's a different matter entirely. But it's no fun talking about the lack of proper mental health care. So we'll move on back towards the realm of keyboard trees and candy-coated crickets.
