An apology, and a promise. · 5:37am Apr 29th, 2016
So recently, I saw a friend of mine have a bit of a breakdown on the site. I won't put his business out there, but his predicament made me think about myself as a writer, and I have to apologize to those who are following Inner Demons II. You see, a while back, I started getting a lot of negative feedback concerning one of my main characters in the story, and the whole thing began to spiral out of my control.
As such, I ended up falling out of love with that story, and have avoided it like the plague.
However, I realize that's not fair. Truth is, I gave my friend some advice, but then realized that I was partially guilty of the thing I was trying to help him with. I ran away, and now I'm not sure if I even CAN continue Inner Demons II. But the truth is, I WANT to continue it. I want to work on this story.
So... I first want to apologize to all of you for abandoning this story for so long.
Secondly, I promise that I WILL get back to work on it very soon. I don't know how long it will be, but I will get back to it. For those who don't know this about me, I NEVER break a promise.
Inner Demons was actually one of the first fics I ever read. I remember I was pretty excited for the sequel, and was enjoying what you'd written so far, but was sad to see the negative criticism affected you enough to put the story on hold.
It really does feel like it's been forever, but regardless, I'm happy to hear you'll be returning to writing this after all this time.
Good luck.
Inner Demons is one of the fics that got me on this site so yeah I would love to see it back
I understand.
I'm glad to hear that ID2 will be continued.
Inner Demons is easily in my favorite multi-chapter stories on the site. Unlike most multi-chapter fics that were complete by the time I started reading them, I was so invested in what was going on that I probably read through the entire thing in 2 or 3 hours straight (and that's including taking breaks from reading).
And while reading Inner Demons II, I was (and still am) just as invested in it as I was in the original.
I'm glad to see you're still in the writing business. I loved Past Sins since the first story, the thought that you would've ended its sequel prematurely would've broken my heart.
All the best to you, and good luck with continuing it.
Sapphire......If I may.........You are by far my most ambitious of friends. You're always striving for more despite the obstacles you have before you. If you are anything like you are on this sight in real life (Which I know you are) then I know amazing things will happen to you. I'm sorry I've been away for you long. Life has given me Hell and I've needed to have both hands on the wheel to fight back. I won't bore you with the details. My parents have divorced, my little sister hates me for not being able to stop it. My little brother won't stop being angry with my mom. I'm always worried my dad is gonna drink himself to death, I hate myself because I know if I was there I could have stopped it.......I just don't know anymore.......But when I see your stories and views, all the positive comments. I know that someone out there, a good friend of mine is out there struggling but rising to meet every challenge. Seeing that among a few other things has kept me going. And for that Sapphire I thank you. As a fellow Brony and a friend.
3948131 If seeing my stories, and knowing of my struggle has helped you any, then that means I've set out in doing what I wanted to do as a writer from the beginning. More than writing good stories, I want to inspire others to never give up, and to show them that no matter how dark things get, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. You might have to lose something, and it will be hard, but you can always succeed. That's why my stories are always so dark and heavy with emotions.
I think with this story, I let things get so dark that even I don't know how they can save their world, or even if they can win. I want them to win, but when even the actual angel meant to save the world (Vale) is powerless, what hope do they have.
But I'll find a way, and I won't ever stop writing. I'm sorry for everything that's going on in your life Matrix. Just give your brother and sister time. I'm sure they're young, so they'll understand one day. I hope your light appears soon.
