Another Unintended Hiatus + Some Good News & Some Other Much Needed Info · 2:26pm Jun 24th, 2019
Hey there, everyone. Sorry about the sudden lapse in communication. I've just been... having a rough bit of time with real life stuff at the moment. It's been distracting me from FIMFiction so I haven't been able to get a lot done. Plus my own easily distracted mind has been getting in the way quite a bit as of late. So I cannot apologize enough for my lazy nature.
That being said. I will mention that I did end up writing again. However, it was on Destinies Intertwined, or rather, the story that I revised it into. Managed to write three chapters in a rather quick fashion so that's a decent start to a new story. The fourth chapter is coming along and I'm actually excited about this story and possibly uploading it for some future content. Secondly, I need to talk about Replication. Now I know you're thinking "are you cancelling that story? You haven't uploaded a chapter in months." And I wouldn't blame you for thinking that. No I am not cancelling it. But I have mulled it over and... I just feel like I published it earlier than I should've. I feel so... confined... so... strained on trying to write it.
I've tried and tried and tried to get back into it but... I didn't have enough chapters available for you all. And so when the chapter publishing caught up with me faster than I wanted, I froze up hard. So no. It's not cancelled. But I will possibly be pulling it from publishing so that I'm not... feeling like I'm on some kind of clock or feeling annoyed at myself for leaving a story like this out there, feeling bad that you all are seeing it in such an incomplete state. So I hope that doesn't seem out of the blue. And at the end of the day... I'd rather give you all a good story instead of just... letting one rot without any further input.
Hmm... now. The other much needed information is that the sequel for Twinkling Gem... I don't know if it's going to actually work out. I've tried... I've really tried to get it right but... I just haven't been able to get it right. The story itself was basically one that was a "fly by the pants" attempt at writing. While I think I did... "decent", I also think it was an attempt that... didn't really work out at the end. So... just for those hoping that it would get a sequel. Don't expect it anytime soon.
As for what to expect. Hmm... well, besides the revision of Destinies Intertwined (don't worry I'll eventually reveal the new name at a later date), now that I've figured this out... I feel like I'm free to do anything now. I so wanted Replicaton to be out for you all but I felt with its early release I didn't have time to get enough chapters written. Plus... I've been writing The True Nightmare series since I've started. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love it. It's been such a fun series to write. But... it's pretty much the only thing I've been constantly writing for... and nothing else, really. 
So... I feel like the load has been lightened a little. I might end up doing more blog stuff, too. Cause all of that has been put on hold for long enough. And as for other story ideas... hmm. There's a few. In fact. I might throw out a blog post later and see which one sounds better. Cause that revised Kingdom Hearts crossover story is far from ready. Replication is far from ready. So... I want to see what you, the readers, would like to see from me. I have plenty of story ideas just sitting there... gathering dust. So... yeah! I'll let you sit with that for the moment. And I'll upload that blog later. Maybe after this one sits around for half a day, I'll go for that.
Anywho... I will leave you all with that. And I shall see you all later!
Nooooo
You must write the Twinkling Gem sequel! The first was a masterpiece!

I've... tried. I've really tried. But I could never find the right way to do it. I went through idea... after idea... after idea... and the stacked stories I also had to take care of (which still is Replication and the Destinies Intertwined story), so I could never focus on it as much as I wanted. I... know no apology can really suffice for not going with the sequel. I feel shitty for not even being able to do such a thing.
But to reiterate. I started Twinkling Gem as a story I wrote on the seat of my pants as a way to try that style out. It... worked to a certain degree. But when I had comments like "this is a shitty alt universe", or, "this writer doesn't know the meaning of what an alternate universe is", I really had a hard time stomaching those kinds of negative comments. I finished Twinkling Gem, so at the end I didn't care what they had to say. And this also not to say that's the reason for me discontinuing the story (although it has had some influence). Not to mention it's been... three... four years since I finished Twinkling Gem?
Now... whether that means I come back to it or not isn't a done deal. If there is enough want from the readers for me to give it a shot... well, I'd give it a try. But at the moment... I just haven't had the chance to try out new stories. I've been stuck with The True Nightmare, Twinkling Gem, and Destinies Intertwined. That's all I got story wise. I don't have anything else.
5079760 Well if Twinkling Gem as a "fly by your pants" kind of deal, and you don't like the negative comments, why not just re write it? I'm sure your writing has significantly improved since you first wrote it
5079763
Hmm... true. It'd be an interesting idea. If that's the case though, I'd probably just keep it to a standalone story. And not one meant for sequels.
5079766
Oh well, even if that's the case (which would be a shame) I'm sure the rewrite would be fantastic if you decide to do it
5079769
I'll see what I can do. Trust me. When I release the blog I promised later? You'll see just how many story ideas I've had that have been gathering dust over the years. And why I've been struggling to get content out.
5079770
Well I'm definitely looking forward to hearing all those ideas in thst big brain of yours

Oh there's a lot. I'll throw the revision idea for Twinkling Gem, too. But... I think I just really need the readers from all my stories to at least help me focus down on these stories. Maybe that way I can actually do something useful as a writer for once.
