    May not be writing at the moment, but...

    I have been starting to pop up on Twitch from time to time. If you're ever interested in poking your head in, take a gander over here. I'm actually about to go live here in a few.

    Saying Adios to a Friend

    So, folks... I'm sure most, if not all of you, know Obselescence in some way or another. For quite some time, he's been a moderator here, and organizer of quite a few story competitions and unexpected fads. Go stop by and wish him well, if you'd like. He had a large impact on me over the years, it's sad to see him go.

    Status Update

    Next chapter is currently sitting at 2,500 words out of the 4,000 or so that I've set as a goal for chapter size. It's a bit hard going, I know what I want to write, but writing it is another story altogether. Once I have the rough draft finished, it's going to need a fair bit of work to get it up to a posting standard, but hopefully I'm thinking two to three days until it's ready for

    Want some more Batpony/Thestral-centric content? Take a gander!

    So, two of my long time friends on the site here (Talking shortly after creating accounts, both of whom have poked at my stuff on and off for some time now) have recently come together to work on something that is heavily centered around a created society of thestrals. They've told me it should be quite an interesting read, and I'm inclined to agree, having seen some of the content they're

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy the day, wherever you may be, whomever you may be with. Go watch some Christmas movies, have some holiday cheer... I suggest watching Home Alone 2. Or Die Hard. Both are excellent ones to watch.

Update [On the lack of writing] & 900+ Followers · 5:26pm Jul 2nd, 2014

Hopefully things will improve here for me (and thus for you, the readers as I'll be writing again) by the end of the month. I'm not telling this to garner sympathy or anything, just letting you know the fact of why I haven't been writing much at all since around November. I have depression, somewhat to a bad degree as well. Something I get to thank my mother and her side of the family for, truthfully. I have a doctor's appointment this coming Monday to explore using antidepressants to try and bring my overall mood up, as extreme self-loathing and a total apathy for basically everything in one's life is not very conducive to writing, let alone anything else in life. It's something I've been dealing with for quite some time, but pride/stubbornness/stupidity had kept me from exploring the more permanent and potentially most useful solution to the problem. Take it from me. If you have these issues, or a friend you know has these issues, do something about it!

So, yeah, that's why there hasn't been much writing from me. I'm going to give it a go here and there, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do any writing. I'm hoping that within a month or two the doc and I will find a dosage that works and I can get shit back on track, which will mean more writing. I do enjoy it, even if some nags here and there just end up being a nuisance and make me not want to. I might also become a bit more nice, I have anger-issues to a rather large extent that I believe are closely tied in with those issues.

Now that I've aired out some of my dirty laundry, just know I haven't forgotten about all of you follow me and reading my stories. I've honestly got too many currently in the works to guarantee all of them will receive equal attention, but once the writing gets started again, hopefully it won't stop.

Also, apparently I'm now over 900 Followers... wow. Thanks a lot, folks. I hope that I can start bringing out quality material here in the near future, and I thank all of you for following/favoriting/upvoting/commenting as always!

Space, out.

Hm, sounds good.
Not the depression part, but the one about getting professional help. Good luck on that front, space.

Space, out.

According to my family I am a Space Cadet!

I hope you feel better and do find some kind of salvation from the vortex of depression. I deal with it as well, though I don't quite medicate for it. Nonetheless, I know all about what it is to go through it.

Get well soon, Space! <3

Dude you already have good work on here. half the stories I wait on your updates are yours. Here's to hope that medication works.
