Explanations and Apologies · 5:54am Jan 3rd, 2014
Hello all,
I hope that your holiday season has been a swell one for all of you guys and girls. First off, I just wanted to use this blog post to sincerely and thoroughly apologize for my sudden and prolonged disappearance from Fimfic over the past few months. With my chaotic school schedule this past Fall in addition to my hustle to find an internship to apply for this summer over Winter Break my time has been severely limited. Still, I owe you all an apology for not being on here for as long as I have without giving any explanation whatsoever. It was inexcusable and you deserve better from me, especially when you all have been such a massive reason as to why I have gained confidence in my writing ability. Sure I'm still not a great writer by any stretch of the imagination, but you all helped encourage me to develop and improve.
Unfortunately, as of right now I am not sure when I will be writing pony stories again (especially since I haven't started season 4 yet, so I'm WAY out-of-date). My main focus will be school, internships and writing non-pony material. I do, however, promise to check in more often than I have been and to not to fall into the trap of letting my school-work consume me to the point of being negligent of all of you.
Once again, I hope you understand but if you do not that is completely understandable. I hope you all have a great weekend, and for those of you who are also stuck in the North East please stay safe and off the roads if at all possible.
Best,

No worries, if anywhere in your excuse is the dreaded word "internship" (as there is), we will all gladly understand :)

Thanks man, I appreciate your understanding.
Yeah internships are gonna be a hassle, especially since I'm looking to enter a field in television/film (esp. writing) so right there the competitiveness is ridiculous. I'll keep you guys posted on where (and if) I get accepted anywhere. As of right now, I am stuck in the dreaded limbo of being a college student- i.e. indecisive and buried in things to do haha.
No problem, mate. Your life and career come way before this site, so no worries.
We understand. One's real life must come before his/her online life.
Welcome back.
Real life has to come first, we all understand this... and those that don't never will. The best of luck in all your endeavors!
It's ok, we understand
I'm a similar situation: between classes, homeworks, personal issues and non-pony projects; I don't see myself writing fics anytime soon.
Good luck with everything And Happy New Year! (I know it comes a few days late)
We all understand you have a life dude^^ dont worry^^
As the old saying goes, "Real life before horse words". You gotta do, what you gotta do.

Thank you guys for understanding.
1677707 you're very welcome^^
"Nothing on earth lasts forever, but none of your deeds were in vain." That's from a Hammerfall song, as I recall. Your work here stands on its own as a respectable monument, but... let's face it. You can't take ponywriting in to a job interview. We all have to grow up sometime, but don't let your inner child slip too far away. If you ever pick up the pen on here again, you'll need him.
Dude... YOU LIVE!
Wait, I've been horrible about being about on FimFic for the past six-eight months too... but good to hear from you! I hope school and all goes great for you, and when you catch up, if you want pre-reading or such you can always tap me on the shoulder!

I'll try my best with that. I'd love to maybe write for an animated show of some kind so perhaps that will come in handy in my real life as well
