    It's been too long...

    Hey there everyone, I know this is probably a surprise after my long, and sudden, hiatus.

    So yeah... I'm still here, and I want to apologize for not updating the story in such a long time. I think I said it would only take a week to get out, right? And yet here we are nine months later and I got nothing to show for it.

    A Long Awaited Apology

    Hello my loyal readers!

    I wanted to make this small blog to apologize for my tardiness regarding the next chapter of TAOAT. To put it bluntly I've been slowly digging a hole in my life and only recently did I finally get help and manage to drag myself back out. And even then, only about half way.

    A Formal Apology

    To those of you who read the previous blog I posted in regards to the most recent chapter, I want to formally apologize for what I wrote. I was angry and frustrated with the way my story, and by extension myself, have been treated. I worded it in a way that put my readers in a negative light, and for that I regret what I have done.

Some Exciting News! · 5:07pm Mar 8th, 2015

So, I have a few things to announce in this blog post and all of them are big for TAOAT(in my humblest opinion)!

About a week and a half ago, I posted an idea in the Displaced forum. I suggested that we, as a group, get together for a massive battle. Less than a day later one of the admins agreed that it was a great idea. Some of you may know of the Death Battles from Screw Attack, and that's where I got my original idea for it. Seems like the Admin had the same thought cause the Displaced group is proud to announce the 'Displaced Death Battles!' It's going to be a mass collaboration between about 10 different authors. The pr-elimination rounds have already ended and I'm happy to announce that Robin has made it through (just barely). Robin was scheduled to fight Dr. Doom from Architect of Realities' story Power Ponies and Doom. I'll be working with him on writing the fight scene, but their fight is further down the list compared to the other matches. It may be some time until it's uploaded, but I'll post a link when it's ready!

Crossovers are a big thing in the Displaced Multiverse and Robin is jumping on the bandwagon. Right now there are two crossovers that are a definite and it's with Flutters Is Shy's story Applegate and Shinigamisparda's story For Glory! For Equus! For Epicness!

The crossover with Gilgamesh won't be for some time, but me and Flutters have already started working on the crossover. So far we have about 20,000 words written and I estimate we can get it to at least 30,000. Unlike other crossovers, we'll both be doing chapters from our character's perspectives. Challenging, but extremely rewarding.

With all these changes, The Awakening of a Tactician is taking a step in the right direction. I hope you guys stick around to see what shenanigans Robin will find himself in. You guys can help this story grow by giving it a thumbs up!

To a bright future,
Mountainmanmad

In all honestly, I'd try to break up that huge crossover into parts, just 20,000 plus words for a single chapter is rather offputting.

Believe me, it's not going to be one massive chapter. That would just be cruel!

2859855 I'm still hoping we can do a crossover!

I've been getting a lot of requests for crossovers. It's come to the point where I'll need to pick and choose.

Well good luck on your crossovers and the deathmatch! I might be opening up for one myself once I manage to get my displaced out as well.

Pardon my french but holy shit dude, you're moving up! I wish you luck in your future endeavors with Robin and co. :pinkiehappy:

2860188 Thanks! I'm really excited with the direction this story is going. When I first started this story I never expected it to be so well received. 300 thumbs up... Damn.
