    Reboot(s) incoming.

    You know what? I think I'm ready to repopen some old stories. Specifically, Error Code: FiO, Tale of a Comet: White Light, and Half past ten.

    Audience participation time!

    I'm writing an intermission chapter before the next big story arc of potion shop. It's titled "Arca gets on a train and nothing interesting happens, I swear."

    What MLP character should Arca encounter on the train? And why that character in particular?

    No wrong answers.

    Phoenixfur (I'm back! Ask me stuff?)

    Yeah, I'm back. And honestly I could use a bit of a soundboard to get my creativity flowing at max again. So if you have any questions for me, ask away! I can also try to answer in-character for any of my characters from prank war or the potion shop.

    Writing trouble

    I'm gonna be honest. These last two months have been super tough for me. Not asking for pity or anything, but I've had to put my dog down and my Grandfather's been in and out of ICU for a while now with brain surgeries.

    Mentally, I'm just exhausted.

Writing trouble · 1:31pm Feb 12th, 2020

I'm gonna be honest. These last two months have been super tough for me. Not asking for pity or anything, but I've had to put my dog down and my Grandfather's been in and out of ICU for a while now with brain surgeries.

Mentally, I'm just exhausted.

So I personally feel that my stories aren't up to par- at least, what I'm doing at the moment. I could either use some validation or some time to recover my wroting juices, because I know you lot genuinely enjoy prank war and the potion shop, and I don't want those stories to jump the shark (if they haven't already. Idk what to do next in them at the moment.)

So... be honest. Am I doing okay? Have I let you guys down by vanishing these past two months? I just want you all to be happy, and I feel like I'm not pulling my weight.

Sorry of this seems sappy or plesding, just kinda depressed today.

Dude, trying to force writing when it's not happening is the worst feeling, don't do that to yourself man. If you need time please take it, some things are more important than horsewords. And for what it's worth, that latest chapter of Potion Shop was just as vibrant as ever. If you're worried on that front you needn't be.

If you need time, take it. We'll still be here when you get back, hanging around...

you are doing fine with your stories. Real life has this nasty habit of getting in the way. Sorry about your grandfather, hope things work out. I have over the years lost 5 dogs and 3 cats it never gets any easier, just try to remember all the good times. Hang in there.

You're doing fine, but if you need to take time for you, real life comes first. Take as long as you need. We'll be waiting when you're ready.

Sorry to hear that.

Speaking from a purely selfish perspective, yes, when people leave stories unattended, it’s irritating. Though with the information I and the others have read, I’d have to say your in no rush... as long as you don’t take literal years to get back on track. Ultimately, your the only one who has a say in what you do, so do whatever you want, and, or, need.

I wish you and your family the best and while I hope you can continue your stories sooner then later family and your health comes first. If you force it it's gonna be trash same as it your not in the right head space. As long as it's not years and we get a status update every now and then so we're not worrying about you I think we're cool.

Hey Ashfur I was just checking up on you to see how your doing. I know life's been coming at you hard and wanted to touch base see if you needed an ear to chew kinda thing. I hope this finds you and yours doing well.

Over a year later with no activity coming in, are you doing alright?

Yes, I've just mostly been streaming games and trying to handle a job. It's nice to see you guys still care though, I might try and make a comeback.

Maybe rebooting the potion shop with a fresh set of eyes?
