Important decisions and other such things · 4:13pm Jul 8th, 2013
As the title suggests, this is gonna be about some important things (if you don't care for long posts/are lazy there will be a tl;dr version near the bottom.)
Anyway; to business! As those who actually read my 'story' may know I haven't exactly been the most active recently. Now I could rag on about how school has gotten in the way, only I finished my GCSE's - for those who don't know, just think of it as my compulsory education - a good few weeks ago and I've had plenty of time to write. 'But I've also been in a show and learning a new language and looking for work and sera sera sera sera'....
Basically what I'm saying is that I don't believe I have any excuses to have not been writing the next parts of Flames, so why the total lack of updates for such a fiendish amount of time? Well I guess I have a confession to make; I've lost my spark.
For those who may not understand what I mean lemme break it down to a very simple form. While I have both ideas and time I simply lack the required drive to continue writing Flames of the Fateless. It kinda sucks because I really wanted to continue that story; now I'm having major second thoughts about lots of things the story contains. The two biggest thoughts are about the main character, Lycan, and the setting of the story. I'm not saying I'm gonna do what I did with Thief and rip it down and re-write it so its not in Equestria but it might mean I will perform a few radical changes to it.
The biggest one is the likelihood of me pulling from The Chessgame of the Gods universe.
As some of you may know the story is set within a universe that consists of many stories that collaborate and while I'm not heavily fussed about being in the main canon of the universe any more I'm having second thoughts about certain things the universe has made my story do. The most important one of these being how I initiate the story itself (how Lycan came to be in Equestria.) That and I have found it very difficult to be comfortable interacting with the current population of the group, though I refuse to drag such personal matters any further into this post.
While it was my own choice to join the universe of Chess I was not thinking as far ahead as I should have been and as a result I am in the position I am now. So until I can come to a solid decision on what to do with my story I will be placing Flames of the Fateless on indefinite hiatus.
While this doesn't mean anything will definitely change it does mean that sooner or later my final verdict on what I wish for my story will be reached; though I can't promise it will be a good outcome or one that will keep everyone happy it will be what I believe is best for me.
Even if that means ripping apart another project I had high hopes for.
TL;DR
Shit happened so stuff is gonna be put on pause for a while. What? You wanted detail? That's not what a short version contains.
So until a later date, tah-rah - Cryptic
