    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.

Incredibly important you read this if you follow me and my stories!!! · 2:44pm Sep 16th, 2015

Hello everyone, I just felt I should give an announcement regarding what's happening right now. I'm sure some of you have noticed that I've spent a lot less time online over the pass few days, and for good reason. For those of you who don't know, I'm a full time student at college. This means I take roughly 4 classes every semester. I don't really work, because school is considered a job in a sense.

I'm telling you all this because it got much more complicated this semester. I don't want to turn this into a sob story or seek pity, but I had trouble last semester and I failed a few classes. This resulted in a backlog of work, and requiring me to do extra this fall. I am currently in 5 classes, and one of them is a required internship for my degree. This will leave me so little free time to myself.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to go on a three month hiatus. I have to remind myself that writing stories about ponies is not going to get me a successful job in life. I have to reassess my priorities, and FimFiction is near the bottom right now. I've given this a lot of thought over the past few days, and it wasn't an easy decision to make. I feel especially bad for doing this considering I recently submitted two new stories.

Over the next three months I won't be releasing any new chapters or stories. This means at around Christmas, when the semester ends, I'll have free time once more. Within this three month time period I may not release any work... but I may still write a bit if I have the time. It's possible that once my 'dark' period is over, a few chapters will be released.

I will be releasing this blog two other times, tagging my other stories. I really want people to see this, as I know some readers have asked me when the next chapter of a particular story will be released. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am to actually have others call out to me, asking for another chapter. It really drives me to want to do more, and to keep these stories alive.

Thanks for all the support, Mountainmanmad
