For those of you who care.

Wow, I submitted this story four months ago. Four months, and only two chapters. I apologize to anyone who was actually looking forward to seeing how this story would continue, and I would like you to know that I have not given up on it. Friendship is Broken will continue....I just haven't been very on top of things. I have learned so much this past summer that I just couldn't continue with the story.

Not to say I haven't been working on anything these past four months. I have another idea for a fic that really just needs to be started, and several others that I can only continue after FIB is complete, or is getting there. However, the biggest reason why I haven't continued is actually two reasons that could probably be wrapped into one. I said that I have learned a lot this past summer. I have read many forums that helped me learn to become a better writer. Because of this, my perspective on my first two chapters had changed. I liked the second one, but I really needed to re-write the first chapter. Looking back at it, I understand why few people looked at it and liked it. The few who actually trudged on to read the second chapter, however, were probably a bit more pleased with it. I liked that chapter. I thought it was very good, and I was very happy I made it. However, after re-working the first chapter, I figured that I wouldn't be able to keep the second chapter the same (Darkflare was also really whiny. I didn't like how emo and dramatic I made him, especially since he was supposed to be based off of me...yes he's a self-insert, but I'm not making him a god...yet...maybe).

The second reason I wasn't able to continue was because of me being lazy not knowing how to re-write the chapter. I am not very good at going back over my work and editing. I always assume that what I have is golden and never needs to be changed. This was also a big part of my learning experience this summer. Going back over what I wrote and realizing that it was mediocre at best, and finding the desire to work at it and change it, were probably the hardest points for me to learn, and I can't be sure I've definitely learned my lesson. There are other things about writing I have to learn, like Show vs Tell, relevancy, foreshadowing...pretty much anything that needs to be practiced, not just talked about.

Aside from all that, though, almost every little detail for the story has been planned out...okay, not really, but everything I need is right here in my head. I have even pretty much finished my re-write of the first chapter, and the second one should follow suite quickly. I have also learned that I do my best work when I'm not at home. Now that I'm in college, and have periods of downtime between classes and work where I can use their computers, I have been able to write quite a bit more than usual. I can't expect this to happen all the time, so don't expect like a chapter a week or two, but if a month passes by and I have not written a thing...you have permission to shoot my balls off. With two days off of work, and a morning-only class schedule per week, I shouldn't be slacking much, and if I do then you know what to do. Spam my story with likes and comments! And Faves, and spamming my PM box with hate mail, and offering me cookies to complete my work, and most of all, your interest, devotion, and love of ponies.

Anyway, FIB will go on. Chapters 1 and 2 are being re-written and will replace the ones I already have on here. I will leave both versions of each on here, but unless I receive overwhelming feedback that says versions 2 were worse....I don't know what I'll do. Also, once chapter three is, or is nearing, complete, I will begin work on a Nightmare Rarity story and/or maybe one about a journey into Tartarus. I have other ideas, but those seem to be the most prominent in my mind. I even have the first chapter for the Nightmare Rarity story planned out, but I have not started writing it, yet. I have also been thinking about writing porn....yes porn. Anthro, humanized, but not pony....even I have standards. One shots with real romance, but sex as well...in no way is it absolutely going to happen, but if something pops up, you have been warned.

Thank you for your continued support, and in closing, I must promote my YouTube Channel. Check it out. It's mostly LPs and Fanfic readings, and very poorly made ones at that, but I will become better at that as I will become a better writer. Thank you and have a good day.
