). I want to tell you all about where I've been, what I've been up to, and share my journey with you guys. You were all around for some of the best times, and I felt it's only right to open back up again andI'm Sorry · 7:00pm Sep 24th, 2016
Over the past week or two, I've gotten messages from several of you guys asking if I was okay, if everything was all right, and just wanting to check in on me in general. I wanted you all to know that I was really touched by your concerns, and that I am just fine, but it also made me feel guilty. I'm sure you can guess why... I haven't written any new material for well over a year. I haven't been around often or even in contact much since then either. Hell, I haven't even been keeping up with MLP anymore. I disappeared without explanation and worried or confused you all, and that wasn't right of me.
So to all of you, to my silent followers, the ones who checked in on me, the longtime readers, and my friends, I am very sorry for my disappearance. It was unjustified, and I hope you can forgive me for it.
But that said, I do have to make an announcement that I'm sure is going to disappoint you even further. I am putting down the pen indefinitely. This kills me to write this, and I wanted to avoid it for as long as possible, but it's time to address the elephant in the room. I haven't written anything in ages. I haven't felt the drive or motivation to even push myself anymore, and I don't know if that has to do with my waning interest in MLP or a lack of a creative urge in general. I didn't want to say I was benching my writing indefinitely, but it's unfair to you to keep you waiting in hopes of new content when I can't even squeeze anything new out of myself.
So I'm tabling all of my work and current projects until further notice.
I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting in vain, everyone. You've been nothing but supportive of me from the beginning, and you deserve an answer, even if it's not one either of us wanted. Does this mean I'm leaving FIMFiction? No. Does it mean I'm leaving the fandom? Not right now. I'll still be here, lurking around and reading, here to chat and talk, and trying to get my muse back. It just means that all my work is on hold. I'm also going to start reaching back out to my friends I lost contact with. You've all been very good friends to me, and I haven't been, and I'd like to repair those bridges. But I don't want you hanging on for something that may or may not come.
I'm sorry. This is the last thing I wanted it to come to, but I'm not going to lie to myself or to you all any longer. I hope someday in the near future, I can come back and say I have more content for you, because I still have a story I want to tell. But right now, I don't. Thank you all for your support, your care, and your concern for me. It's a constant reminder to me of all the good here in this fandom, and why friendship truly is magic. Thank you.

Oh.
It certainly is good to hear you are OK. It is a bit sad to hear you are leaving (the writing bits that is), but such is life I suppose. Thank you though for the enjoyable stories; it was quite an enjoyable ride.
Best of luck for your next endeavours!
Oh, well...
For what it's worth, I love the Skyfall series. It's a shame to see it officially put on hiatus, but if you don't have the drive to write, you don't have the drive to write. It's not something that should be forced.
I'm glad to hear from you, regardless. Hope everything works out in the end!
I'm glad you're okay. It is a tad upsetting that your stories are now on an indefinite hiatus.
You may feel bad having to make this announcement, but at least you had the decency to do so. I've seen a couple of people I follow just take off without saying anything. I think that's more upsetting. Well, we'll just have to hope that maybe one day, you'll be able to finish your stories, or in lieu of that, allow someone else to finish it. Take care then.
Sorry to hear that. Did I ever tell you that I tried to read Rainbow Six after your fics, since that type of stuff obviously inspired you? I couldn't get over 100 pages. I suppose Clancy's pacing was more "professional", but your characters were better, and they actually had interesting personalities in the stories, clancy had 2d characters he would give amazing back stories to.
To all the world, a writer is an inexhaustible source of creativity; to the ones who know him, he is an artist trying to paint the very heavens themselves.
Still love to Skyfall series, still will be on the lookout for updates, whether content-wise or personal updates; stay well and stay frosty my friend.
So.... just wondering, did you have plans for the series? Like if you aren't going to pick it up, I would enjoy at least getting some type of closure, if you're willing to.
I'm not surprised, but I'm happy you're doing well!
I know how you feel, though. I've had a rough time writing for a while now. I still do write, but it's rare and only when I'm struck.
I suggest trying to write a little something regularly, though. It doesn't have to be about MLP, but just write a page a week of... anything. Keep thinking of ideas and keep your tools sharp. It helps me a lot.
Regardless, we'll be around, so stay cool, and write what you want, when you want.
Well I'meant glad you're okay at least
but damn, I've actually been rereading the stories in hopes that something would come of, but alas. Though I'm not saying that to guilt trip you, or make you feel worse. I definitely know how much losing your muse sucks. And how much life in general can just drain the creativity, or time to be creative. Hope you do well in whatever you choose to do, and know I'm here to talk, if ya ever need it.

Thank you, everyone. I still hold out hope that I'll kick this funk and get back at it someday soon, which is why I'm not cancelling everything outright. I would just rather people not keep hanging around and one day get a nice little surprise update than keep checking in and being disappointed.

I have the entire storyline for the series mapped out for how I want it to go, I just don't have the drive to flesh it out. If you, or anyone else would like the detailed outline, I can happily provide it to you in a PM so you can have some closure and answers. Then if I ever get back into it, you can enjoy all the little nuances and details that an outline simply can't do.
I'm glad to hear you're all right. I was getting a little worried.
And you should know that I'm ok if you are stepping down. Passions fade. Its an enviable thing. Hell to be honest I've fallen off too idk what has even happened this season.
BUT! And I think I can speak for a lot of the long time readers that while the rest may go unwritten what you did give us was something special. For me personally when I found Skyfall those years back it was something I could escape into. It was a relief from the real world that wasn't really going my way at the time. It was a I could look forward to on bad days.
And for that good Sir I thank you.
