    My Final Update

    I knew a point like this would come and it finally has. To anyone who may be reading this wondering if any new stories are coming, the answer is no. To anyone wondering where I went, it's complicated. A lot has happened for everyone in 2020, and a lot has happened in my life. Nothing bad, I've just matured and changed a lot.

    I'm still here (update)

    Currently working on a story, I am still deciding whether I am going to release it in chapters or wait until it is finished to release it (in which case, I would like to get it out before Christmas). Just wanted to give everyone watching an update! It's been very busy with school lately, and of course Christmas.

    As usual, thanks to everyone for the support!

    My Grand Return...

    So... it's been 2 years. Well, technically I did visit the site in April because I wanted to write, but that never happened. The last time I ever released anything was January 2018. Almost 2 years of inactivity. I first of all want to apologize that I simply left with no explanation, but it's a long story to get into, and I really don't want to type it all out here. The short version is that life

    Hello

    So... after over a year (a very long break)... I decided to come back and look at this site. There will likely be more stories or additions to unfinished stories.

    Epilogue out, not even 1,000 words

    I just released the Epilouge for the wide-spread series that started in 2015. The ending is short and sweet. And no, I’m not going to make more. I’m either starting a fresh one-shot Sunlight story or I’m going to keep experimenting with what I like to write. Thanks to all 60 of my followers, more to come in the future.

Sunlight Series Update! · 5:39am Oct 17th, 2017

Before anything, new stories will be out as of Saturday night ish, no guarantees though :twilightsheepish: (I try).

OK, so I'm writing this on a tablet so forgive me if any of my crappy typing goes unnoticed. So, today I was looking through old stories and I obviously came across Sunlight in The Dark. I wrote that story in December 2015 I beileve (too lazy to check) and back then I wasn't as good a writer as I am today. Now, that doesn't mean I sucked, but I do see pretty obvious grammar and general storywriting flaws in the story. I want to fix that not only to make the story better and attract more attention to the series, but also because it bugs me.

I've had people ask to be editors and I'm fine with that, I've had plenty of amazing editors in the past that made my stories three times better than I previously worded them, so that's one option. If anybody is willing to edit for me that is reading this go ahead and PM me and we can talk.

Option two I was thinking of rewriting the story with my newfound writing skills, but the rules clearly state I can't do that and must edit the story instead. That's kind of lame but it did say it was okay if I changed the rating of the rewritten story, for instance a mature version. Meh. I didn't like that idea so I just said fix my own mistakes. That means pretty big changes to the story.

Opinions? Eight people who are reading this, should I reconstruct my old story, get an editor, or keep it the same? And what about my other stories? Feel free to comment on my stories tips and things I'm doing right and wrong in your perspective. After all, I'm definitely not one of the FiMFiction greats, but I am proud of my work.

Also, should I follow up my last sunlight story? Even I feel like the end was missing something. Even a simple epilogue might do.

P.S. This WHOLE thing was written on a cheap frickin tablet with the most glitch keyboard on Earth, and even if I fixed most my mistakes just know I was 100 percent rushed because of how ANNOYING THE KEYBOARD IS!!!

Edit: Yes I know I’m an editor myself, but like I’ve said many times I don’t like editing my own work, especially old novels. I like a sense of out-of-my-comfort-zone stories that I’m really good at editing, like some of you have seen. :twistnerd:
