Hands: Canceled · 5:45pm Jul 1st, 2020
I gave it my all and for years I have tried to get Hands properly concluded. But the simple truth is, I am a different person than the one who started a crazy Human in Equestria parody that became indistinguishable from the real thing.
So in light of this, I have decided that Hands will never be continued as is.
Instead, I will continue the adventures of Andrew Shepherd, plucky human in Equestria, in a rebooted, better organized universe. You've seen the first such story: The Stars Revolt. More is coming.
Thank you for your patience and fandom.
Understandable. Stuff shifts over time. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the reboot.
Well, while I'm sad Hands won't get a proper conclusion, I can only hope that The Stars Revolt will continue to be fun.
So, will The Stars Revolt be continued into a longer fic, or will there be multiple short fics, but interconnected?
Fair enough. I'm not the same person that I was when I started reading it, either.

Multiple short fics as part of a shared universe.
I'm sad that it has ended but hapy that I read it, and look forward to its reboot
Do you at least have some notes for the finale? I've seen other long-standing fics conclude that way in the past few years.

I was writing from the seat of my pants most of the time. But I may put in a coda I had hoped to put in at some point.
Well i guess i should read it till the reboot starts
I always thought that Hands works quite well as a series of interconnected snippets, without needing a definitive ending. Looking forward to your news story in any case.
"The New, Improved Eternal Vacuum, Model 2020!"
"That's right, Flim! Brand new, brand improved, brand-spankin' 20% cooler-"
"ETERNAL VACUUM MODEL 2020! Say it with me, Flam!"
"ETERNAL 2020, THE YEAR THAT JUST WON'T STOP SUCKING!!!"
Can honestly say that Hands was probably the third or fourth story here that I ever read.
Don't blame you, but still a downer.
...
...there better be Fluttershy and Twilight fighting over Andrew, still.
Too bad...
I discovered this fic during it's last stint in the Featured box, and really enjoyed bingeing it. Glad to hear that there will be some additional follow up fics though, and I really did enjoy The Stars Revolt. Regardless, many thanks for all of your horse words! 
Damn. Tis a shame. But sometimes you can not help but stop before something is done. Thanks for the time you have put into this and best of luck on your future endeavors.
I'm sorry to hear you're cancelling Hands but I know where you're coming from, I feel the same way about some of my own stories, and I look forward to the reboot.
I'm okay with this. Hands kinda went off the rail at the end. I'm totally fine with a collection of fun short stories that are connected.
Y'know, that's entirely fair.
Here's looking forward to what you do with all the new canon we got after Hands started.
Might want to remove the AN at the end of the Endgame Homage chapter then
Ah well, if it wasn't meant to be I wont fight it. However what you have is a good read, and I'm more than happy you canceled and deleted.
Thanks for giving us a great story.
In a lot of ways Hands mostly finished its main story arcs, and was really just going through epilogue stuff, as far as I could tell. Looking forward to more Stars Revolt.
You gave us a great story, so thanks. Heck I gotta get on my editor so we can finish the one I've had sitting for months.
I don't know how you'd feel about this idea. But you could let someone inherit the story and continue it. Hopefully someone who was as passionate as you were.
