One Step Closer to the End · 5:55pm Sep 29th, 2013
Yep. Another month.
Look... I'm going to be honest here. I'm not much into ponies anymore. A lot of the reasons why I started Steadfast are gone too. The character arcs are mostly wrapped up, my ideas almost all set in motion, and I can't step carelessly anymore. Only one reason remains, the most important reason why I'm still working on this.
I want to have the ability to finish a big, long project. To draw all the strings back together, and wrap it up neatly, and satisfactorily. That's my last challenge. Before I even make an attempt at another project, I have to know I can finish this one. I won't let myself go on without finishing this one, very important work.
Yes. Even though I'm not feeling that strong connection anymore, The Steadfast Sky is very, very important to me. And I will not let you, me, or anyone else down.
By the broadest estimates, The Steadfast Sky will be ending before Chapter 80.
Thank you for reading.
I blame the lack of fresh ponies.
I am also not as enticed into ponies as I was at first, but all this time I maintained a certain level of enthusiasm for it. I hope you will do the same.
Thanks for your dedication to finishing The Steadfast Sky and thanks very much for all these wonderful stories you've shared on here; it's been a real pleasure to read your stories, and when your done I'll probably re-read some of these and maybe add a few more favorites to my page.
Oh. That explains the long wait. Well, um, thanks for deciding to finish it. I'd hate to have it become another story I'm reading that dies suddenly and without explanation.
