The future of my stories. · 10:38am Oct 11th, 2016
So... I've been thinking a lot lately. Mostly on the massive amount of unfinished stories I have here... and the several dozen unpublished ones I have in my GDocs archive.
And, some might end up meeting the chopping block.
Pony Days - This was what? My second ever fic? And it never got a second chapter. I have a few ideas for this one still, and even now, I still think about it. i don't know... this is undecided.
Changelings - ....This fic. I like this fic, hell, I freaking LOVE this fic. But with Cerulean gone, I honestly don't know if I have the drive or the skills to continue it...
Brave New World - This fic... is both my best friend and the bane of my existence. I have made some amazing friends because of this fic. But, it has taken up a ridiculous amount of my time. And I know Zeus has started a second fic, but I honestly don't know if I will. I'll lend my aid to him if he needs my characters for stuff... again, i don't know.
Bahamut - I... have been losing more and more interest in this fic by the day. I don't know why. But my get up and go, got up and went.
The Princess and the Human: This, is about the one story I currently have that I really want to continue. But again. my drive to write just... isn't there.
You see, I write a ton with some close friends of mine. We have some pretty cool Pokemon and pony ones going, but they won't get posted, they're strictly for our enjoyment. But due to time differences, it's usually mid afternoon for me by the time they go to bed, so I have no-one to write with during the evening, the time I like to write... and lately, writing alone has gotten... well, I like having someone to talk to. All my fics, most of them I have an editor, or just someone hanging around I can chat with, bounce ideas off of... A Pony out of Place was about the only fic I truly wrote alone... prior to the rewrite.
I have a few other fics in the works, two new Midnight Song ones,about a half dozen Shimmerverse chapters and yes, I have started the next Flare fic... though I really miss having Letter J around for that. It's probably the reason I've delayed it for so long. I dunno... maybe I'm just whining...

It sounds like you need some inspiration.
Do what you feel will work with your life schedule
Well if you need an editor or inspiration just PM me
Hmm... depending what time you start writing depends whether I could watch.
As said in your last blog, I'm usually home from 1200 GMT, but I know that could be up to 2200 for you. (Going based on where my 'friends' I was supposed to visit live, which is Brisbane.)
If you want we could do a collab on A New Destiny . If you want to that is....it's up to you.
Maybe I'm missing a large part of the point in saying this, but this post makes me feel honored to have worked with/be working with you.
I can be available to edit and maybe bounce ideas off of... If you're interested. Just p.m. me. I have gdocs on my phone and computer, and I also work nights every six weeks. My work schedule kinda sucks. Six weeks on nights, six weeks on days. So when i work nights I can stay up and chat occasionally.
Awwwww. You miss me.
So I suppose a bit of an apology/explanation is in order. At some point a year-ish ago, life got busy and I stopped checking fimfiction and reading ponyfics for a while. I always intended to get back on and get caught up, but I never did. So I eventually stopped entirely. At some point I also fell several episodes behind watching the show, so then I definitely couldn't come on fimfiction because spoilers. There were a few times I came on and poked around a bit, but nothing stuck. I've been back on for a few weeks now though, and I seem to be doing a better job of staying on. I still haven't actually read anything lately, but I've at least been keeping an eye on my feed in case anything interesting (like this) pops up. But I've graduated from school and have a steady job now, so everything should be staying fairly calm in my life for a while (knock on wood).
The other part of the problem is that I am terrible at replying to messages and generally talking with people and being social. I honestly don't even remember for sure anymore if there was some message you sent me back before I disappeared that you were waiting for me to reply to, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. I have a terrible tendency to fully intend to reply to messages, but stuff keeps getting in the way, and then before I know it, it's been a month and then I just feel awkward replying and social anxiety and panic and I finally close that tab I've had open for months so I stop noticing and feeling bad about it as much.
Anyway, long story short: sorry for bailing on you. I'm still around here if you need me or want to chat. Though Discord is probably the best way to get ahold of me these days, if you use it.
(Also, you might be interested in knowing that I have a pony/Pokémon story idea that I've been tossing around in my head. I'll get around to doing something with it one of these days. Though the writeoffs have been the only things that have actually gotten me to write anything lately.)
