Apologies for absence, Equestria Was Merely a Setback and other stories update · 11:43pm Apr 16th, 2017
I came back and instantly had health problems to deal with, followed by real life obligations, but I can't blame my now fixed health for what was fixed weeks ago. If I'm to be honest, it's that my attention has been elsewhere.
In two months I've received an outpouring of support and feedback on a Digimon project I've been running on Spacebattles, a special form of roleplaying game called a "Quest" which has had hundreds of thousands of views and close now to 20,000 comments. I've even, in relation to it, interviewed Digimon director and writer Jeff Nimoy. This project has been my primary focus in my free time given that in ten minutes I get more views and attention on it than I do anywhere else on any other project across the span of weeks, and it's fun being able to go back and forth and discuss things with my many readers constantly. I thrive off of the support I get in my work, so when I go from uploading chapters here to almost no fanfare to receiving such support...well, it made coming back here really difficult.
This is not, however, to say that I prefer one story or project over another. Just that the energy and excitement is all in one place, while none is in another, making it hard for me to stay positive and keep working. I intend to finish all of my projects, however, but I wanted to be honest and say that if things remain as they have been in my past few updates here that I won't be able to update with any true frequency.
Stories
We Remember Everything (Gaiden chapters): I am thinking I may be able to one of these every now and again, maybe once every two to three weeks. I really want to finish the present Madoka Magica arc, but it's going to be a bit difficult pulling together all of that again since I'm going to have to dedicate the time to re-watch the show and go through all of my old notes and re-read old chapters to make sure I do it well.
Equestria Was Merely a Setback: I have so much planned out for this story, but it's been very arduous task writing it given the limited audience. When I submit a chapter and I don't hear feedback for what can amount to weeks, it's disheartening. I want to say one chapter every two weeks, but unless it still receives support despite its 4.5 month hiatus I'm not certain I'll be able to manage even that. 
I could really use the support of those readers of mine who do read it, if they're reading this.
Meet the Family: I have a fun idea for this I may be able to pull off in the next couple weeks and move it towards being completed finally, since it doesn't have too-too many chapters left.
Just wanted to update everyone about where I'm at right now. It's been really tough to write pony for awhile now, since ever since Season 6 started I haven't actually found myself enjoying it. I couldn't even finish the season if I'm to be honest, and a large part of that is that Starlight Glimmer is such a terrible character that I can't bear to see anything that focuses on her, especially when my favorite character is brought back only to serve as a foil to them. I used to write with a grin because the show was able to cheer me up and inspire me, but I can't even bring myself to watch it, which removes the other fuel I had for writing pony.
This is to say, the only thing keeping me writing here is the support of my readers, so thank you to those who are supporting and will continue to read my stories, and my apologies for my absence. I wish I had better excuses, but it really boils down to just my attention being drawn elsewhere by a far more successful story I've been telling.
Understand, more comments for"Equestria Was Merely a Setback"
(Well,I'm curious about her
further fate and whether , yes or not,we will see permanent reunion between mother and daughter
)
Happy Easter
and thank you for writing (still) to us
also
Hm. Well EWMAS has been on my read it later for a while now... i think I'll give it a read. Considering that you, yes YOU got me into WoW for a bit (bastard) i do believe i could understand a fair amount at this point. Hopefully. Honestly most of what i know is thanks to hearthstone so LETS HOPE FOR TE BEST!
For the record, I'm doing all that I can to get caught up on EWMAS. I'm just committed to doing it in the most absurd manner possible.
And I am sorry that you've lost your enthusiasm for Pony. Hopefully it's like the tide, and it's merely falling before rising again.

Colour me interested in this and very curious.
Dear author, you know who I am so you already know my generalised response. Kinda. Been awhile since we did chat but it's understandable.
Life does take its toll on all of us, each in a different situation really. I'm still your loyal reader and friend so you can count on me still being here for support and I'm sure there are others willing to say the same. So don't worry, take the time to iron it out properly until you're satisfied.
4498916 Thank you for the support, as it's much appreciated. I am hoping to have something new out at earliest this weekend, but maybe during the following week if that doesn't work out.
4498948 If you ever have trouble understanding something, feel free to always ask! I'm always willing to help out. Thank you for looking into and reading it though, and I hope you'll enjoy it.
4499016 I think my interest in the show, as it is, is dead, though I still greatly enjoy seasons 1-3, some of 4-5, and essentially nothing after. It's just difficult to see them ruin my favorite character like they did in a recent episode for the sake of another character I don't even like.
Thank you for working your way through Setback. Hopefully I'll have some updates for it soon that you can add to your quest to catch up!
4499249 Thank you for the support. It means a lot, and I'm glad to still have you around as a reader and friend. Hope to have something out soon to show you!
4501624 Thoroughly enjoyed. After a small break i think ill read Meet the Family. But yes, i cant wait for more updates on both WRE and EWMAS. Good job mate!
I hope you return. I myself haven't had time to even read stuff here and only I am in the army till September.
Though it makes me sad that you kinda abandoned us for something more popular though I understand how it makes you happy.
