    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.

Taking a small brake · 6:07pm Aug 22nd, 2015

Now before the chaos begins, let me explain!

I've been working on the Awakening of a Tactician for quite some time now and have made, what I think to be, fairly good progress. When I sit down and write, this story is always my focus. Because this has been going on for some time the ideas I'm coming up with are either bland or lead me into dead ends (as far as the plot is concerned). As I'm sure you've seen me mention before, when I first started writing I knew how I wanted to begin and I know how I want to end, it's the in-between that needs work.

So, for the time being, I'm going to re-direct my focus.

Yes, I'm only redirecting it! I'm still writing, but not focusing on the one story I currently have posted. I have other ideas I want to put some effort into and, in one case, already begun.

I already finished the first chapter of a new story I'm working on titled The Surgeon of Death. If you can't tell from the title, it's about Trafalgar Law and a small adventure he'll have in Equestria (Not a displaced theme story). I'm working on the second chapter now and once I have a few done I'll submit the story.

Of course, I have other ideas than just that. Some other ideas I want to write out are:

- A Luffy Displaced
- A DBZ one shot
- Rule 63 Bic Mac clop story
- Original story featuring, guess what? No humans!

So yeah, that's what's happening. Should I suddenly get a burst of inspiration for TAOAT again I'll be sure to write it down, but it's not going to be a priority. Let me know in the comments how you feel about this and if there's any potential story you may be interested in seeing me write.

*Note: For those I'm working on crossovers with on TAOAT. I'll still work with you when I have the time, so don't worry about conflicts with your own stories.

At first I was all :raritydespair:, but now I am ok.
If you ever want any help again, all you have to do is ask. Until then, I will simply watch and wait.

A reprieve from focusing on TAOAT exclusively could help you look at it again with renewed vigor, and better ideas. Taking a break is a marvelous idea!

3339331 The story hasn't gone on hiatus or anything, I'm just expanding my... territory I guess?

3339405 That's what I'm hoping for. I'm going for quality, not quantity.

I would say give the no human story a try, it is good to have a variety so you wont burn out.

3339591 right now I'm working on the one revolving around Law, but I could get a few thoughts down.
